*Official* Match#5 - India vs Australia

[OverratedSanity]

Maxwell is bowling a bit fast. Maybe a bit of air is needed

It's skidding on and really risky to play off the back foot. He's doing it perfectly imo.

 

[honestbharani]

That wasn't swing though, that was variable bounce off the pitch

It is swinging quite a bit from what I have seen so far. I mean, it might die down since its the white Kookaburra and its 7 overs old now from either end.

 

[King Kane]

This is more like a 5th day test pitch than an ODI pitch.

Oh yeah it was early but those two balls that beat Rahul were definitely all off the pitch

 

[honestbharani]

It's doing loads off the pitch (seam and inconsistent bounce) rather than much in the air tbf

Yeah its why it was always a great toss to win and why I said its 65-35 after the toss. But I still think there is some swing helping them as well.

 

[Andyhere]

Required rate creeping up to 5. They need to find singles can't get bogged down

 

[number11]

There are lineups that if ever 10/3, would fold for 100 odd, under WC pressure.
Great test for India's middle order.

 

[Spark]

Man Green's bowling is frustrating. Putting together a really good over, then two long half volleys to a legside field which isn't there to defend it

we’ve already seen plenty of batting line ups crumble this World Cup under similar circumstances

Why would you bowl that full after what you saw the ball do in the previous over? Class from kohli though.

He really doesn't seem to have much control over his length. Will always throw in one half volley an over.

 

[honestbharani]

Beating the same in-fielder to the right and then to the left.. Kohli is the true centrist in a world full of left and right wingers.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Kohli's bread and butter shot that. Can't afford to bowl those lengths to him.

Green should have continued with his outside offstump probing.

 

[King Kane]

Kohli showing his class with back to back boundaries.

That drop from Mitch Marsh is looking costly.

Maybe his height?

Reactionary grifter rather than true centrist by that description.

 

[loterry1994]

Should get zampa in and Starc or hazlewood back if it doesn’t work the next few overs no use saving a bunch of overs till the end for them

 

[Silver Silva]

I think the match was decided with that Marsh drop , this is just a formality now.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

If this isn't proof Chole Bhature >>> Vadapav. Then I don't know what is.

 

[Punk01]

Marsh and Carey did nothing with bat

Knew that Carey won't even play 10 balls on a spinning track lol

Then both guys are involved In dropping kohli lol

Aus gonna cry due to that missed chance.

India ahead rn.
