14th Match - India v Australia

[Second Spitter]

I think people are conflating "bowled badly" with "bowled without threat". I think it'd be harsh to use the former, but the latter is most certainly true, and a problem.

I think Zampa's bowling falls squarely into the category of "bowled badly".

Haven't seen how India will bowl yet, but if their bowlers prove ineffective as well, with the pitch being a good one, would bowling without threat be really down to the bowlers themselves? Of course I'm backing Bumrah, Chahal etc. to get something out of it but it must be remembered that 320-330s were generally par scores in England before the WC. It could end up being a good effort

 

[slippy888]

Coultner nile bowled a freebie there

 

[cnerd123]

Kohli has been contained well. Needs to cut loose soon.

still well track for 320-330 here, which should be plenty, but I want to see us get 350

 

[Daemon]

I think India will look back at these last 5 overs and really regret it. Poor use of the powerplay imo.

 

[ajdude]

remember the ODI series where Graham Manou was the keeper

was that in 2009? there was a 7 match series in 09 and a 3 match series in 2010 that i keep mixing up. i think the manou one was where everybody got injured and they debuted manou, hastings, and were gonna debut holland in the last ODI but it got rained out or something. also they flew out burt ****ley

oh and clint mckay

Who knows but what I can safely say is that the non-Cummins, non-Starc parts of this attack simply aren't very good.

 

[slippy888]

Young man cumnin look very emotional there

Smith is to emotional to bowl it would be a awkward situation

 

[trundler]

320 I say

Agree, 350 probably out of reach now.

 

[cnerd123]

I'd have liked us to be 250-260 by now

oh and clint mckay

yep. and sachin's 175.

i thought kichardson bowled well against england in that warmup, he brings something a bit different to coota-nile. and i think behrendorff would get spanked

honestly that period - that series included - was one of the most impressive achievements of ponting's captaincy, at least in ODI cricket. that side he took to india especially really had no right to win a series.

 

[Howe_zat]

Yeah you feel India have missed a shot at 350+ here. But it's not like 330 is a disappointment.

 

[wrongun]

To be honest, with Bumrah, Chahal and Kuldeep even 280 will be good. But realistically, it think Nadia can easily rattle off 100 of the last 10 which would put them in the 330-340 range

 

[ajdude]

yep. and sachin's 175.

oh yeah that was mckay's debut. i remember a day game (2:30PM AEST start) where bollinger took 5/**** all and the match was done by about 6:30 haha

splitting hairs between different varieties of not very good imo

Bit of a problem for him if it doesn’t swing though

Short of a length to the openers was terrible to begin with.
