*Official* Australia in India 2023

[Burgey]

I can’t recall Aus dishing out a hiding like that against a top tier opponent in a very long time.

 

[Shady Slim]

absolutely stoked for mitch yknow

always felt that he's a really good LO cricketer who between injuries and people associating with his test career hasn't got the accolades deserved

 

[TheJediBrah]

Remember when Watson hit that 180-odd vs Bangladesh? Honestly he could have gotten 300 had he done that batting first

off 90-odd balls IIRC. Any time he got length from a spinner it went into the stands over cow corner

 

[ashley bach]

Blitzkrieg

I don't think they even reached the scheduled innings break time

 

[quincywagstaff]

Is this Australia's easiest ODI win ever? Back in 2004 they beat the USA with 42.1 overs in the ICC Champions Trophy but at least the USA didn't lose by 10 wickets.

 

[Victor Ian]

I haven't seen a worm disparity like that in a long time.

One massacre each. Maybe the decider will be close.

This game naturally comes to mind https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...s-namibia-31st-match-65263/live-cricket-score but at least Namibia made the second innings last 14 overs

England 3-0 very recently. No wait sorry you said top tier didn't you.

Bangladesh were bowled out for 93 vs nz once. Nz chased it in 6 overs and McCullum got 80(28).

 

[TheJediBrah]

There was a very similar score in a Natwest tri series game in England where Aus won by 10 wickets in 2005 I think, Andrew Symonds took 5-for

edit: nvm that was against Bangladesh and they sucked (still do)

 

[halba]

Yep. Most dominant performance ever by Australia against a top 3 ODI team.

Mitchell marsh in the form of his life. Very powerful hitter he is. Head showing his value at the top, similar to the BGT series

Haha was this during the 2015 WC? I remember there was a game in that tournament where McCullum was trying to finish the game before the break (this was back when if the first innings finished soon enough, they'd take a 10 min innings changeover and take the usual long break at the normal time, interrupting the second innings)

edit: welp no i was thinking of something else. this is the game https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...d-vs-bangladesh-3rd-odi-300428/full-scorecard - if you ever want evidence that MOTM is a joke award, look at McCullum somehow not getting it for this one

Way back in 07/08. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...d-vs-bangladesh-3rd-odi-300428/full-scorecard

 

[Spikey]

Aus won by 10 wickets against England in 02/03 in 13 odd overs which is probably the most similar one

 

[Spikey]

Australia beat England, Australia won by 10 wickets (with 226 balls remaining)

AUS 118/0 vs ENG 117 - Australia won by 10 wickets (with 226 balls remaining) in Sydney, VB Series 2002, January 23, 2003

England crawled for longer though

Game won before McCullum start bat. Vettori rip thru them.

 

[Spikey]

Australia A famously destroyed Sri Lanka so badly they did another match, I think in that same 02 03 tour

 

[Shri]

Finished gym. Missed the run chase ?

 

[Spikey]

Australia A beat Sri Lankans, Australia A won by 10 wickets (with 229 balls remaining)
