***Official***Match #18- Australia vs Pakistan- October 20th-Bengaluru (D/N)

"now they're gonna score faster" well yeah ****ing Rauf is back in the attack and Na(3)waz and Ifi are more or less done.

Is this your first ODI?

 

[Gob]

Yeah Maxwell at 3 now

In fairness to these two the pitch does look quite slow with the old ball, not so straightforward to time.

Unless Rauf is bowling ofc

 

[TheJediBrah]

Going at 7 an over vs economical spin bowling you absolute pillock. This is a platform to get 450

This is a road and a tiny ground, doesn't matter what you're on batting first the goal is always as much as possible

As I said it's not going to be an issue if they kick on but those 3 or 4 slow overs could cost them 15-20 runs

 

[srbhkshk]

did slow down a bit here , ~85 in last 16 overs not terrible but also not great with two well set batsman. Still plenty of time and wickets to get a pretty solid score.

 

[White Ball]

Straya playing this week is bad new for England, if they lose tomorrow they are pretty much out.

So far this is my Platonic ideal of a bad time watching cricket and somehow the Australian fans seem more annoyed than me

I reckon theres a lot of "Aus batsmen making spinners look good" in it though

 

[Darwin Award]

If you had to pick an Aussie batsman who finally goes on to score a 200 in a ODI you'd reckon it'd be Mitchell Marsh.

Kind of guy who could play out quite a few overs at the origin of the team's inning and still unleash at the end.

Somebody like Maxwell even if he came out in the first 10 overs would still give bowlers about 5 dropped catches too many to get there.. lol

 

[Kraken]

for all of warners faults, he’s always been an absolute master of destroying pump bowling attacks

Wait until my boy Glenn Maxwell comes in and I start edging just for him to hit one straight up for a golden duck

 

[number11]

Pakistan are beaten here. Shot mentally and not in contention. Aus will be beastly going forward.

You score runs by not losing wickets and restarting partnerships in awkward passages of play, like against spinners, with a turning ball, in the middle overs of an ODI.

Australia 250-3 right now is going to end with a smaller total than Australia 226-0

 

[TheJediBrah]

FFS this is fixed

 

[Shri]

what are you smoking

 

[Spark]

lmao

 

[thierry henry]

no no no no no

 

[srbhkshk]

10 an over from here would get them to ~410, should be doable tbh.

Not only that Smith scored a duck last innings so he's probably going to come out tentative (like many times) and piss fart around before he gets things together.
