Just a reminder that India are cowards for making sure they play on one pitch for the entire tournament and rely on spinners after token overs from pace because they're a one dimensional team of flakes

India clearly were nervous at the start but spin has given them much needed control of this game , terrific captaincy from Rohit to bring on Kuldeep early ..What a spell of bowling this is

awarded a win by default after drug testing reveals India are a bunch of PEDos

But Kane costs us games by batting slowly apparently, so our chances improved actually

Latham is perhaps our best against spin but weak against pace. Very strange for a test opener.
6 an over is a lagging indicator. 3 down and not much batting to come(in these spin conditions). not a strong batting lineup at all for the conditions. I think Australia was probably the 2nd best team of the tournament, they didnt play NZ to really get a gauge, played India tightly with a 2nd string attack. SAF were largely terrible, their attack was very wawyard and expensive in the SF.
crap tournament as not all the major teams play each other to gauge the true ranking, and rain meant we were robbed of proper games.
Either have a longer tournament, reserve days, and scrap ODIS 2nd string tournaments outside the WC. The ICC needs to commit to a position on this matter. Tests and T20s are the primary formats now. Just play them mostly all year. No longer a fan of ODIS, theres too much dithering/go slow from most of the teams in a match, as teams dont want to get bowled out prior to the 50 overs.

Yeah Rohit Sharma really going against the grain of Indian captaincy history by *checks notes* turning to spin when *checks scorecard* seamers had no effect

Whatever it takes!!!
haha... our fielding is usually proof that there is usually no such thing being taken
Silver Silva

He could have held Kuldeep back , generally he bowls in the middle overs ..Also I don't appreciate your saltiness, your team is losing that's not my fault.

Just pointing out that Bracewell averages 47.5 at 142.85 s/r vs India. We're still looking at 380.

Mitchell is looking bloody good though. Not put a foot wrong so far. Latham is usually the type of batsmen our spinners hate - the Andy Flower, Shiv Chanderpaul, Michael Bevan mode busy player with lots of sweeps and stuff. Axar and Jaddu have to step up else this game is gone.
Wont be a surprise to see us lose a big game though.
