***Official***THE FINAL- India vs Australia - November 19th - Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad (D/N)

[Spikey]

If India do go on to lose this it'll be somewhat equivalent to the Argentinian World Cup soccer side that lost in the final to the Germans 1-0 in 2014 (conceding a late goal) after only trailing in the whole tournament by 9 minutes or so..

The team india patriots. Kohli can be tom brady idc

We'd have won this if Pujara was out there getting hit on the helmet every over.

Head reverted back to "Never held a cricket bat before" mode. Needs to bat this out and hope his lara powers come back.

I am glad stephen and subz are back to enjoy the India loss. Though, tbf to stephen, he enjoys Aussies winning against anyone.

But the reality is, our batsmen lost us this game. Its very obvious the conditions meant we have to aim for 30 above par with the bat and we did not do that. Losing wickets in clumps just cannot happen when you have 4 #11s and we let that happen today. Its the one thing we had been good at avoiding all tournament.

And @subshakerz as usual waltzing in without watching the game. India have bowled really well, except that first 4 overs when runs went everywhere. Its just been rough conditions for the bowlers once the first 10 are done. If we had done our job with the bat and got to 320, that 50/3 would have been a telling start. As it has been in other games.

India should keep believing until this drops below 40 atleast. One wicket could easily bring 2 with Maxwell

No way he's ever got Lara powers. Totally different looking batsmen despite both being lefties.

Pretty wild that India only scored 75 runs from this point of the innings

YOu dont have to gambhir now mate.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

The placement of that one.

Gavaskar is gonna pummel Mark Howard in the commentary box if he doesn't shut up

 

[Andyhere]

Sluggish innings from Rahul costed India a decent total and created unnecessary panic in the dressing room. He made batting seem harder than it actually was in that pitch, and that sends wrong signal to those waiting to bat.
Not that he needed to power hit, but he failed to show intent to score and made it easy for Aussis to bowl part timers.

Nah, its what many Indian fans including me here have been pointing out all tournament. You honestly cannot bank on anything with this tail.

 

[Burgey]

We are playing these clowns next week on friday in a t20 revenge series so alls good

Honestly reckon half the Aus team may still be drunk when that game starts if this goes how it’s currently playing out

 

[TheJediBrah]

Good boy Travis. Come down the wicket to change things up. Make the bowler up his lengths

Reverse really killed any hope of the recovery

 

[GIMH]

Fair play to Marnus. I’ve criticised his one day abilities but he’s playing a blinder here

 

[loterry1994]

You just never have a good final when Aussies are in it always dominate wins

 

[Daemon]

I mean I‘d be very surprised if even half the players here show up in that series

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

100

Yeah boy!

 

[Spark]

What an innings. Remarkable given the situation

 

[Spikey]

Lmao is this the worst ton in an OD final. A suitably silly way to bring it up. What a guy
