***Official*** Australia in India ODIs/T20s 2017

[honestbharani]

Those 2 wristspinners have made all the difference this series so far. The following Aussie batting lineup will look so much better

Finch
Warner
Smith
Head
Handscomb+
Maxwell
Stoinis
Agar
Cummins
Coulter-Nile
Richardson

Will Finch be fit for next match?

This does look better and in case Finch is not fit and the pitch at Indore might favor spinners, they can bring in Zampa at 11 for Richardson and have Cartwright a 3rd chance. He has looked clueless so far and Burgey's predictions have been as bad as his cricketer nick naming skills, but I still put some bank on his opinion. Cartwright may still come good and end up being a good enough international cricketer for them. So nothing wrong with giving him one more game but maybe have him bat at 4 and let Head open.

Are hat tricks becoming more common, or am I just experiencing time more quickly

 

[harsh.ag]

I am still confused by Agar being a thing.

This wasn't one of those ****** LOI hattricks where guys get out slogging either.

First wicket was a bit lucky yeah, but it was a pretty good one as ODI hattricks go.

 

[Gnske]

Gets out Agar, Matthew Wade and Cummins.

Clint McKay has taken better hat-tricks than this trash.

 

[YorksLanka]

Surely Australia must have a better keeper than Wade or am I missing something??

Tbf, when it comes to limited overs there's no one more suited.

Jimmy Peirson might make the cut and save us one day, if he gets more consistent.

 

[Bahseph]

Agar is very Santner like to me from what I've seen of him. Can't be picking him over Zampa in LO games.

 

[Top_Cat]

I am still confused by Agar being a thing.

Double that for Cartwright.

 

[Burgey]

Lovely hat trick that. Last two balls were very well bowled, especially the Cummins ball. Dhoni's still got it behind the pegs, hasn't he?

If it wasn't for this site I wouldn't have even known there was a game on last night when I got to work this morning

Aussie media are doing a really **** job of covering this series, or like letting people know it even exists

I've been without Foxtel for too long

Good to see Stoinis do well again. His Auckland innings was out of this world, and I was hoping he wouldn't be a one-hit wonder.

Kuldeep and Chahal are gun, but lets not get too excited about them. They are just minnow bashing after all.

Yes, certainly happening more frequently.

It's interesting to look at how many are against the top/middle order and not in the slog overs (doesn't seem to be many).

Prosper Utseya in 2014 was a good one, then there was Rabada's against Bangladesh but, well, it was Bangladesh

 

[pdsubraa]

Kuldeep hatrick and Buvi swing made my day - Wooww!

 

[burr]

So Australia's inability to bat outside their own continent has now extended to ODIs. Good to know.

I don't think it's even on Foxtel. This is genuinely the lowest-key series involving two teams of this stature I can remember in ages.

 

[Gnske]

I can't even remember what happened last time India toured for limited overs games, utterly meaningless.

 

[cnerd123]

The only thing I'll remember from this series is how terrible Hilton Cartwright is
