2019 India vs Australia (2-match T20I series)

[omarlittle1]

What an innings by virat the gun Kohli best player in the world, his shadow would be the 2nd best. We need to bat out of our skins to win this.

In the short formats. Yes.

 

[Pea Nut]

Woeful from Stoinis and Finch.

 

[omarlittle1]

Please never play for Australia again Finch. Utterly useless.

These selectors who keep picking finch should be sacked. He's made no runs the whole summer still gets picked. Rather Matthew Wade be given a chance.

He’s had a few chances this summer for Perth and in the ODIs and got slapped. We’ve selected a side with 8 bowling options so it’s not bad to have specialist bowlers for particular parts of the innings. Unfortunately they all seem suited for the earlier overs rather than the death.

It'll be interesting when Starc come back into the side. He'll take the new ball with dorf

 

[Snarls Barkley]

serious question... how much worth are you guys putting in the performances of these few t20 for the WC. Or just waiting for the ODI series

For me, very little. Probably the good performances more than the poor ones. I think the games too different to put too much worth into it, it would just be certain situational performances I’d put weight into. If one of the bowlers had have bowled well at the death that’d help there WC cause. Maybe if Turner has a great innings as a finisher that could factor in. I wouldn’t be dropping people on poor T20 performances though, Zampa maybe enhanced his case today.

Maxwell top edges one for 6, oh that was lucky. Indian batsmen top edges one for 6, Indian commentator loses his mind. Uppercut both those flogs Haydos.

yeah exactly. I'm thinking it more like great chance to practice specific skills. Like you said death bowling etc.

Definitely room for both. I think Behrendorff is battling with Hazlewood for a World Cup place (in the XI, presumably both are in the squad). Both sort of bowl the same overs. Long spells at the start of the innings, completed their allotment by 35. Think it’s hard to fit two of those types in the same team

 

[Pea Nut]

5th grade number 11s don't get out playing shots as bad as the shot Finch got out playing. That is awful, awful viewing.

Yeah this is what I was thinking about. Jhye + Cummins more suited for middle overs. Dorf and Hazlewood are very similar but I can back Haze in the back end of an inning.

These commentators are a dead set joke. Non stop making excuses for India. It's worse than listening to Eddie commentate a Collingwood game. Shithouse form Foxtel.

When did Eddie last do that?

Pretty sure the press red for Ed happens once a year.

 

[Pea Nut]

Time to bat deep Maxy.

 

[omarlittle1]

Poor from Short at the end there but a good innings overall.

Was looking good up until then.

Great 50 Maxxy. Now take us home.

 

[Pea Nut]

Handscomb looks like he's out there batting with a golf club. Any danger of middling one champ ???

 

[Pea Nut]

Hey that worked.

 

[Nel_cats]

Maxwel!!

 

[Pea Nut]

You're a freak Maxy.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Still need one big over

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hundred is on

 

[Pea Nut]

Still need one big over

Still at just over 10 an over. Just can't afford to lose Maxwell.
