*Official* Match#5 - India vs Australia

[Gob]

Stoinis and head are massive losses to this line up. Warner, Smith and Marnus take way too long to get going and Carey is a joke of a selection. Can’t expect maxwell and the lower order to pick up the pace easily when they scoring around 4 an over

Stoinis is pretty bad mkay

Carey hasn't fallen off a cliff he was never good

Australia will want to finish it early with the perfectly understandable goal of getting the hell out of Chennai asap.

It's all going to plan so far!

Australia made a massive error by picking one Frontline spinner

 

[number11]

This Indian side has all bases covered. As always quality batting, and now top draw spin and fast bowling. Only an off day or an England special can deprive India this WC.

Watching on mute. Listening to shayari on my phone.

Do they have any other

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Huh. No turn at all according to ball tracking.

The fix is in

 

[Spark]

Or a pool

Should fall into another one

"Off day" - just like 2019 semi-final.

It’s also way different when they have Head and Marsh in the top 4 compared to Smith and Marnus.

marcus "I average less than mitchell starc with the bat since 2019" stoinis is not going to make this team any better. India's spinners bowled really well on a deck with some assistance and some fantastic fielding.

his still way better in this lineup over Marnus. Got way more intent to score and not bat a test innings plus he can bowl 4-5 overs . Head, Warner, Marsh, Stoinis as our top 4 would of been way stronger but injuries happen

I've been saying that from day 1. Having 1 front line spinner in squad of 15 in subcontinent is ridiculous. It will cost them dearly. Even Bangladesh will give them run for their money with their spin attack.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Eww. Bumrah lateral flexion is giving me back pain. He should be rested against minnows like Australia. The priority should be for him to be fully available for the big matches.

Bruh Stoinis averages less than 20 with the bat since the WC. Half of domestic cricket could do better than that.

If there was any doudt whether SA should play 2 spinners in Lucknow, this batting display from aus vs spin should settle it .

 

[honestbharani]

Strange one. Looked like it spun a bit more live than it did on DRS replay.

Jaddu always gets such LBWs bowling around the wicket to the lefties. Remember quite a few in test matches like that. Didn't seem odd at all as it hit him below the knee roll in front of middle.

Intent doesn't not always reflect talent

And lol in the top four

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Another 100 runs somehow and Australia back in the game
