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

[Zinzan]

Game on, this is exactly where India needed to be after 20 overs. Now they can just approach it like it's a T20 game when they lost a couple of early wickets.

Ouch. Low blow to the nads

Just easin' the tension babeh, just easin' the tension.

 

[Zinzan]

^ And made even easier with 10 overs of PP remaining

Thinking on it, looks like SL have messed up here by bowling Matthews, they should've stuck to their 4 best bowlers all the way through IMO.

 

[Jono]

SL not taking the powerplay could prove a horrible error imo

 

[Jono]

Imagine if these ****s actually fielded and bowled like they wanted to stay in this tournament!

They're gambling on a wicket, but it may not come.

Tbf I mantain that this pitch is just incredibly flat

Only a genuine pacer will get anything out of this

Flat pitch has nothing to do with legside wides ftr.

I agree its flat. But they had low intensity.

Can't believe the Channel 9 'info bar' doesn't have the number of overs that have been bowled. Shocking.

 

[Hurricane]

Can't stand watchng GG run it down to 3rd man for the 20th time in his inning. Play any other shot please.

 

[Jono]

Agree with Benchy

 

[Zinzan]

Lol, somewhat patronising from Mark Taylor ..."India play well of these dead-ish wickets"

 

[benchmark00]

Agree with Benchy

qft.

probs cause of the power outage tbh, it doesn't even look like it's in HD anymore so it wouldn't surprise me

 

[Jono]

****kk calm down boys.

But mate, exactly this has been India's problem for ages.

They don't give a **** in the field. This isn't a one off. Its usually a different story when they bat of course.

 

[Contra]

ok we're falling behind now.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

I think SL are waiting for a wicket before they take the PP. But taking the PP can also bring about a wicket, and often does.

 

[benchmark00]

Ok, so let's say India should get 90ish in their 10 power play overs (conservative).

Meaning they'll need around 55 in the 7 remaining non pp overs.
