Shit debut by Manus, he did nothing.

What about Smith? Zip!

 

[King Corey]

WTF.

That's what Warner and Finch have always threatened to do but have rarely done.

India have 2 bowers in the top 15 ODI strike bowlers of all time. Playing them in India. On a pitch that allowed us to bowl them out.

Bloody amazing.

 

[Samsquanch]

We utterly pantsed ‘em. Bowled them out for 255 and made the runs without losing a wicket of our own. Finch and Warner were in control throughout.

Hmmmm

I'm in a conference call with a crew from India and strangely, nobody is interested in talking cricket. On other occasions they will be desperate to talk about anything remotely related such as which brand of helmet player X prefers. Today, nothing. Not a word.

lndia didn't look too enthusiastic l must say, esp. in the field.

It seems Warner's awesome ODI world cup form has been lost in the memory hole.

It was like watching an American sitcom without the laugh track - you couldn't tell if we had a wicket in some cases, because of zero crowd noise. Initially, I didn't realise the Smith run out was out as there was so little reaction. Same with a couple of the catches.

It hasn't. I was referring to exactly what they've done - they've roared out threatening to take out an entire team's total before but can't recall them doing it until now?

In one way it's amazing they've achieved it but in another it's amazing it hadn't happened before.

Am hearing similar sentiment.

Starting to question whether the Republic of India are even involved in cricket?

Right now crickets are all that's coming out of them (pun int).

Gotta get me some replay action.

Yet when they were batting they cheer every single like they had just won the World Cup. Makes it’s annoying while you’re trying to watch while doing the dishes.

Sheesh, to think a run total 10-wicket chase like that is still topped by South Africa chasing 270-something.

Your problem there is the dishes, not the Indian fans.

Few aussies in the crowd though.

Would you risk it?

Smell would kill me

Credit where credits due that is an absolute shellacking

Some gold by Sutherland.

Doesn't seem to have received the media it deserved. To thrash the Indians the way they did on their home turf - sensational win. Broke a few records along the way too. Media reporting somewhat underplayed I thought.

 

[giantroo]

This is fantastic.

Love this stuff. [emoji106]

We need a 2020 doco on North from Rd 1 to Premiership night.
