That was 100% pointless for both sides. I guess except it was as deserved as a five wicket haul could get. You could bowl a lot worse and get a five for.


Also light roller? Interesting.

Crikey there is actually time to get these runs.... (and wickets)... what a big day. This could be the game that the old ODI chase Kohli comes out

I reckon it would have been super frustrating for the Indian openers

270-280 would've been a great chase, but it will likely go the way of the draw now, if India don't bat like total fools.

1 day of application that their batters have to show.

To all of you who love the WTC stealing the focus here... without it both sides may have settled for a draw and settle the series in Sydney. But now they both need the points for a win to try and make it to the final. That can't be bad for cricket.

Imo they only need to bat normally and be something like 200/4 at tea, roughly 60 overs. Then they would need something like 140 in 32 overs against some seriously tired bowlers.

It really seems to depend on the ball tbh. Newish ball seems tough to face on this deck but get to over 50-60 and barely anything seems to happen. Lots of random vipers seems to shoot up out of nowhere though.

Yeah certainly a new ball pitch from a bowling pov

Very good first over that. Especially as the easiest way for India to chase this down was for Starc to bowl pies.
