1st ODI at Sydney, 27 November 2020

[OverratedSanity]

Decent effort from Shami atleast

 

[morgieb]

Not such a fantastic last 5-6 overs. 400 seemed there when Maxwell was on song.

Still hard to imagine it not being enough.

 

[Starfighter]

I would be very pleased if India maintain this level of bowling and fielding performance.

 

[morgieb]

Why is Cummins batting ahead of Starc with 4 balls left?

Yeah that was weird, could've left 10 runs on the board.

just rust that'll go off with more games tbh

in time for the tests

Cummins has started to bat ahead of Starc in all 3 forms, probably a Langer thing as makes no sense

I was kind of thinking Starc should've come in when Marnus did, but figured giving Marnus and Carey and opportunity to demonstrate/improve their late overs hitting was fair enough. Cummins was weird though. Only thing I can think of is that Shami bowls better to lefties at the death.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Great start from Starc here.

 

[Gnske]

Starc bowling this like a test over in 2013

 

[morgieb]

Worst over of all-time?

 

[NotMcKenzie]

20 runs, 8 wides, 1 no ball.

 

[Prince EWS]

Worst over of all-time?

Apparently it's statistically the worst ever first over of an innings.

Bangladesh conceded 22 once but they took a wicket. 1/22 > 0/20.

I'd love to rub my rust off on you

How on earth do you concede 22 in one over at the start of an innings yet still take a wicket? Was this a case where they bowled like 10 wides or something?

 

[NotMcKenzie]

"Running in, bowling and hoping for the best," is a good description of our bowling strategy in the last test series.

 

[mr_mister]

Starcs finished as a cricketer

Shades of Wasim in 99

 

[Burgey]

Hilarious watching Starc spray them everywhere

I can't even find the game Gilchrist was talking about. He must have got one of the details wrong.

 

[Burgey]

Boy that’s some shot

 

[Gnske]

Interesting how far back Agarwal positions his hands before crouching in his stance.
