***Official*** India and England in Australia ODI Tri-Series 2015

[OverratedSanity]

I like Rohit but him getting 3 doubles would be like Jadeja's 3 triples in FC.

 

[honestbharani]

Think we should just have Lara and Sachin opening for the World ODI and have Dhoni as the keeper/finisher with Bevan backing him up at 6..

Nah him doing it in Aust would be great. stfu

 

[Jono]

wahhh chopped on. yuck

 

[viriya]

Dhoni never really got going.. feel like a big ground like MCG doesn't suit his style.

 

[Antihippy]

wahhh chopped on. yuck

India had like 2 chop ons that missed the stumps by a millimeter.

About time we got one.

I also always thought Gilchrist could afford to bat a in slightest more relaxed manner than most as a function of being part of the best side in the world for pretty much his entire career.

Nah, his job was basically to go out there and smash it from the get go. You could argue he was afforded the "luxury" of doing that because of Australia's batting strength, but explosive openers are really rare and valuable. I'd always pair one prolific opener like Tendulkar, or Amla with a guy who could demolish the opposition like Gilchrist or Jayasuriya. It's the ideal opening combination in ODIs.

Was about to say that now is about the time Dhoni starts going mental and turns 280-300 into 320-330. Handy wicket that.

It's pretty much an SC pitch according to sour grapes Dravid

 

[OverratedSanity]

**** me this is a bad collapse. Great bowling from Starc though.

 

[Antihippy]

Err, sliding down?

 

[Pratters]

Rohit and Raina don't fill me with confidence. Raina particularly I would rather not have in the team. I am okay with Rohit I guess as you can have one average technically equipped player in an ODI team if he gives you runs. This is Australian conditions in a world cup v the best bowlings of teams, not their B or C teams like we usually see in ODI s. So batting technique would be tested. So for Raina I am pretty much sure I want him out of the XI.

 

[Jono]

That's going down leg. How the **** do these guys have jobs. Pathetic.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dhoni never really got going.. feel like a big ground like MCG doesn't suit his style.

This is pretty much how his ODi innings begin. He was just getting ready to explde. It looks slow because he got out, but it wasn't any different to how he usually plays.

 

[TheJediBrah]

A little part of me always feels that India deserve every bad decision they get, that would have been overturned had they accepted DRS

 

[harsh.ag]

Akshar has scored 40 runs in 11 games now. Makes Jadeja look godly.

 

[Johnners]

Not for me. I'm more inclined to judge their entire careers, hence why my greatest WC side is quite different to my all-time one. WC stats represent such a small sample set, even if it is the ultimate prize.

While Gilchrist may make my top 10 ODI straight batsmen ever (and I'd need to contemplate that), he certainty isn't near my top 5. Off the top of my head, Richards, Tendulkar, Dhoni, Kohli & AB were all better ODI bats, saying nothing of the likes of the likes of Amla, Hussey.

Ponting tbh

There's no way you can drop Raina from ODIs.. who exactly would replace him? He just made 50+ here.

 

[Zinzan]

Just an aside, have India allowed DRS to be used in the world-cup, with the one review per innings?

 

[Jono]

Yeah okay mate, I wasn't saying its unlucky. Its yuck batting.
