14th Match - India v Australia

[Flem274*]

india pretty much showing the template for dealing with most attacks with a normal depth batting line up. play out the couple of class bowlers, exploit the weak.

Medium pacers usually are batsman that just fill in with a few overs

 

[OverratedSanity]

Good stuff from Dhawan, need to keep this acceleration going. India are one of those lineups that need to maintain a decent clip throughout the innings , instead of just keeping wickets in hand and attempting to accelerate late on. Apart from Pandya, there's basically zero power hitting down the order and that lets them down on flat decks.

That was a stunning pull shot.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Stonis the next Andrew Flintoff in world cricket

Stoinis is a poor man's Colin De Grandhomme who played one exceptional innings. If Australia had Mitch Marsh for Stoinis and Handscomb for Carey they'd be tournament favourites

The Nathan Coulter-Nile story

 

[wrongun]

This is headed towards a heavy loss for Australia. Bowling and batting seem top heavy. Bowling short of a length to these two is suicidial

 

[NUFAN]

Zampa bowls like old people fornicate.

We want Xavier Doherty and James straight Faulkner back.

 

[Cabinet96]

Such a massive drop off for Australia from having Mitchell Johnson as the first change seamer in 2015 to Coulter-Nile now. Was Hazlewood really not an option for the tournament? Could've allowed Cummins to be the third seamer.

too soon to write off Australia imo. 2 wickets and they are right back in it

 

[wrongun]

This match has India vs SA Melbourne 2015 vibes. Hope it’s more entertaining. Kudos to India for not taking many risks.

 

[slippy888]

Coulter-Nile last first class game in 2017 it looks he given up on that format.

Wish I could watch this

C'mon India

 

[trundler]

India in total control. Australia will have to get off to a flyer and as such will be relying on Warner a lot. Not a lot of firepower in the middle.

 

[Burgey]

Been injured a lot. Has lost a fair bit of pace since

C'mon India

why can't you?

Absolutely not. Handscomb is mediocre at best with the gloves, absolutely no way he could be trusted as the main wicketkeeping option. If he was to be in the team, it would have to be instead of Marsh as reserve batsman

 

[Flem274*]

why are people writing australia off? did you not see their last game?

 

[wrongun]

too soon to write off Australia imo. 2 wickets and they are right back in it

Even if Aus contain India, I see their batting faltering to the spinners. They can be lethal.

 

[Burgey]

why can't you?

He might have family commitments mate. Jeez, it’s his Sunday, why put pressure on the poor fella?
