it is a road.... but 264 is still awesome lol.

It is awesome even in my backyard with the plastic ball. This is just some ridiculous striking.
Too bad it is a meaningless ODI.
Imagine this kind of hitting in a WC! The guy would be a star!

Will never happen in Oceania
 
"It was a good batting wicket. We know even 350 is chaseable under lights here."
 
The thing which I am noticing about yadav is unlike aaron, he is looking for swing and control, while maintaining speed upto 148 k, mind you he can crank upto 150's.
 
For the last game can India place some inanimate objects around the field, some kitchen tables should do, and use a bowling machine. Then when their innings is played place the kitchen tables in front of the stumps and bowl.

Would provide as much of a contest as Sri Lanka, while also having more personality
 
FTR Yadav is not that fast. He is decent pace but not express. All 4 games, he bowls between 138-142k on ave. Good speed, not express.

used to get phainta when he bowled quicker.has slightly cut down pace to be accurate
 
Oh no Bunny has taken a wicket. If he picks a few more, India is in trouble. We may have to play him in the WC :facepalm:
 
I think it may turn out action replay of that match when india scored 414 and sri lanka almost chased that but lost by just 2 runs and made 412, that was also an epic chase, and Dilshan played a blinder that i guess, can he repeat it tough but possible, just imagine how world will look upside down if this match follow the pattern of 434 set by Oz and chased by Saffers, but think chance of that happening are as slim as none.
 

Yeah very sporting indeed. Also this

I cannot imagine the mentality of some of these SL fans who routinely hate India. I can understand Pakistan because of our history but even them do not act petty like SL fans. Its evident in every youtube video regarding Indian cricket. They have a very deepseated inferiority complex and it shows. And they are also very vicious in an underhand way. They dont do it openly because then they will be found out. So they indulge in these passive microaggressions. Its a sad existence I tell you.
 
might be better option than 2 spinners in those conditions

Umm no. IMO spinners are still better in hard bouncy wickets than medium dibbly dobblt bowlers. Do you remember Vinay Kumar. I dont want to :facepalm:
 
Even more reason to. But bowling 150k means not 1 rare ball but with some regularity like Lee, Akhtar, Bond or Tait of recent vintage.
No man I am not talking about 1 delivery, he can crank 150 's quite regularly in each of his spells, the thing is he is looking for better control and swing ,by just cutting his speed by 5-6 kph,if there is nothing in pitch and it's tailenders he cranks up his speed
 
It's the first time in our history we have 2 guys who can clock 150's yadav and aaron, with 5 guys cranking 145's (Shami, Ishant, shukla, bumrah and suyal ), there are other guys as well in domestic cricket as well as in under 19's as well.

don't know about that.2 spinner combo failed badly in SA and NZ.Need to try something else.
 
48/4..

Clearly SRL batsmans are embarassed to play in such a flat track against stuart binny..who is bowling so slow...ball feels bad and decides to help by swinging a bit..
 
I think India scored 200 extra runs for this joke of a batting side.
 
Well then Binny is not that something else lol. Not in a crucial tournament like the WC

Already taken 2 on a patta :D

He can bat as well.Can be decent 5th bowler option.We dont have anyone else in seamer allrounder :(
 
Kusal perera should be banned from playing cricket. Sanath should launch a defamation case against Kusal.
 
Don't even know why SL tried Chaturanga, Priyanjan when you had Angelo Perera and Vithanage

We will be playing Jadeja or Patel as the 5thbowler/allrounder. We don't need more bits and pieces guys. Places like Australia is where you need quality specialists. Last time there was a WC in Aus, Pakistan played specialists and England played bits and pieces allrounders. The proof is in the pudding.

Axar and Jadeja's bowling won't be useful as Binny in Australia.
 
SL has a poor batting lineup but they arent helping themselves by not rearranging their order. They are being too conservative. IMO this should be their order
1. Pererea
2. J'dene
3. Thirimanne (best of their young bats)
4. Dilshan
5. Matthwes
6. Chandimal
If Sanga comes back he should be no.3 and everyone drop down the order.

I remember in 2000, we had only Sachin and Ganguly as our best bats like Sanga and Jaya are now. We didnt hide them in the middle order. We played them upfront. We got beaten quite a bit but we also won a lot with that combo.
