*Official* Australia Tour of India 2019

[Daemon]

Good to see our strong middle order putting up yet another brilliant display

 

[Daemon]

Gotta love this tail with Nostrils walking in at 8.

 

[h_hurricane]

Umesh Yadav at #8 lol. It seems like 3 out of 4 no.11s getting promoted here.

 

[Andy1993]

yeah that's not the deepest or strongest Indian batting line up ive seen..

 

[Daemon]

We read this pitch really poorly imo.

 

[Andy1993]

Important runs for KL though

 

[Daemon]

Finch

Awful summer he's having. Hopefully he doesn't play himself out of the WC somehow.

 

[shifty_eyes]

Nice to see struggling teams defeating top ranked teams these days.

 

[Burgey]

How easy was that? You can tell it’s a LO WC year, the second string Australian blokes are beating other outfits at home in the build up to England. Nice to see.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Could make a better Aus squad from blokes not selected tbh

Yeah, like who?

 

[mr_mister]

Maxi really showing why he should bat top order and not bloody 7 in white ball stuff. For better or for worse he's a compulsive shot maker, usually aerial ones too.

May as well let him do that with only 2 deep fielders to worry about so he has a way bigger margin for error. Otherwise he has to combine big hitting with surgical precision which obviously won't come off often. Came in after 2 early wickets but still struck at 200 in the PP ensuring it didn't get wasted

Got Australia into a very winning position with his batting, can't be blamed for them nearly throwing it away.

So I only looked at the scorecard but was Dhoni's innings as bad as it looks on paper? And if so how does he keep getting picked?

Feel as though this question gets asked nearly every game

 

[stephen]

Yeah, like who?

Smith
Warner
Starc
Hazlewood
K Richardson

Smith

And Wade is the biggest one. Khawaja being picked in the ODI side ahead of Wade is insanity. Unless he's in peak form (which doesn't happen often) Khawaja will be useless in ODIs. The best you can hope for is him getting out early so he doesn't waste too much time.

Carey is clearly not up to it either. I'd just give Wade the gloves tbh, he's been fine recently. His keeping was just as good, if not better, than Carey's during the Big Bash. Wade's issues with keeping have been more in red ball cricket because he has concentration issues.

 

[stephen]

Yeah forgot about Wade. He really needs to play Pakistan.

 

[the big bambino]

yeah, like who?

sok

 

[Burgey]

Darcy Short bowling two overs for ten runs is a genuine MOG.

 

[morgieb]

Smith
Warner
Starc
Hazlewood
K Richardson

Richardson is not one of our best three ODI quicks.

Agree that Wade > Carey though.

 

[Daemon]

Darcy Short bowling two overs for ten runs is a genuine MOG.

He’s a genuine bowling option isn’t he? Very handy for a part time wrist spinner.

 

[the big bambino]

A bit like Mike Bevan. Now only if he could bat like him (odis)
