Have to say it’s pretty annoying Aus are (rightly) playing a decent amount of lead up games in India ahead of the WC when they cbf doing the same ahead of the test tour early in the year so the player could play bbl

 

[G. S. Kohli]

1.30 pm IST tomorrow at mohali
ind v Aus

. Australia have won six of the seven ODIs they have played in Mohali

. In the last four ODIs where he's batted, Jadeja has scored a total of 43 runs. His record against Australia could do with some improvement too; in 28 innings against them, Jadeja has 515 runs at an average of 24 and strike-rate of 74.

. Pat Cummins hasn't played an ODI since November 2022

. In Mohali, Ashwin has picked only two wickets in the 29 overs he's bowled in ODIs here

. KL Rahul averages 19 as captain in ODIs

Hoping to see Lokesh average (as captain) shoots past 20.00 tomorrow

^ Tim David far better with the bat and ball

 

[TheJediBrah]

Tim David probably is better with the bat (not a high bar) but he literally can't even physically bowl the ball without throwing

 

[Kraken]

haha this has Stoin making runs written all over it, to cement his place in the side forever

 

[G. S. Kohli]

India have won toss & have to bowls vs Australia at Road of mohali


Australia (Playing XI): David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Cameron Green, Josh Inglis(w), Marcus Stoinis, Matthew Short, Pat Cummins(c), Sean Abbott, Adam Zampa

India (Playing XI): Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w/c), Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami

Good luck Aus to win here 8 times out of 9 ODI vs india

 

[Gob]

Is Tim David part of Australia’s squad?

He is being replaced by far superior S Smith

 

[Nintendo]

Australia are taking the piss with that xi, lol.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Matthew Short is playing? And surely not actually batting at 8? And where are all the bowlers lol

 

[Kraken]

Haha just came in here to make the same comment, what’s the point of short if he is batting 8
Happy for him, but surely he plays instead of Warner

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Shami to marsh & Gone caught by Gill : 4th ball of the 1st over of the match

India only playing with 5 bowlers, that too the fifth bowler is Shardul. Hope the gamble doesn't backfire.

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Matthew Short is playing? And surely not actually batting at 8? And where are all the bowlers lol

Not need.

 

[Burgey]

Best fielding team in the world

They must be treating this as an extended centre wicket practice with that line up, otherwise with Short as low as eight they’d be going hammer and tong

 

[Daemon]

Thakur punished yet again

 

[Burgey]

#punished

This really looks like it’s hard to time anything on the fuller side of a good length. Lots of mistimed drives but anything shorter seems to sit up a bit

 

[TheJediBrah]

Smith looks in a "I just want time in the middle" mode

 

[Burgey]

Thakur feeling sick at being #punished tbh
