**Official Comm Bank Series - Aus, Ind & SL ODI's***

Damn, don't think oz made enough for Sachin to score a 100

 

[Prince EWS]

really do think this "what if he gets injured" is way over blown

If the ball is slippery and they struggle to adapt it might be iffy but they should be fine. Pretty confident in Starc/Harris/McKay putting up 20. So then Doherty/Dussey/Christian/Clarke/that guy just have to put in 12 and well if they can't do that.....


Of course there's a chance the Indian dressing room could burn down leading to an easy victory for us

Yeah I was more talking about what the attack looked like in terms of a general ODI than this match, which I why I mentioned things in blocks of ten. It should be fine in these circumstances.

Might have something to do with Australia getting more PP overs, perhaps?

 

[Prince EWS]

Damn, don't think Australia made enough for Jadeja to break Sehwag's record. He tried his hardest to help them along the way but it just didn't happen.

Interested to see the pecking order for the ring fieldsmen when it gets to that stage.

I don't think I've ever seen a score adjusted up after an innings is complete itbt. Is it even a rule?

It should in theory, but it gives a huge premium on wickets (which I think is a bit overdone)

I know it isn't part of DRS, but it somewhat compensates for India having bowled their pacers out at the start of the innings itself.

I've seen it. But it's usually only a tiny change. Like, one run added.

Nah it's because they lost early wickets. They scored more slowly in those first few overs than they would have if they thought they only had 32 overs, but equally (in fact, exactly equally in this situation, so has it..) the early wickets lost when they thought it was a 50 over contest would've curtailed a 50-over innings more than it did a 32-over innings.

 

[Spikey]

can't believe statsguru doesn't have a 'match affected by duckworth lewis' option

 

[benchmark00]

You'll be able to tell if Starc is in for a good night by the first 2-3 balls he bowls. If he gets movement, he'll clean up.

On.

Happens all the time tbh.

Imagine you bat for 20 overs, then it becomes a 25 overs a side game. You bat for another 5 but the target surely isn't what you've scored in the 25 given you batted the first 20 like a proper ODI; it'll be a fair bit bigger.

If Australia hadn't lost any wickets before the rain the target would've gone up a bit.

Makes sense.


You have obviously had a software update.

Can you name the occasions this has happened?

I'm aware of the theory behind it bro.
