1st ODI: Australia v India at SCG Jan 12th 2019 - AUSTRALIA WON BY 34 RUNS

[Eelectrica]

Maxi Pad is busy and a natural boundary hitter, he needs to come in at overs 35-40

Yep. I'd flip Maxwell and Stoinis in the order. Too many dot balls from Stoinis.

 

[typicalfan]

Maxwell and Stoinis are the wrong way around in the batting order.

Stoinis just took too long to get going.

 

[TheParraboy]

I tell you who this side could really use to bat at five, keep the runs ticking and hold up and end whilst the bloke at the other end tries to go hard - Jordan Silk.

Problem is you have SMarsh and Khawaja batting 3 and 4, who should be able to do this role

Alex Carey c: Sharma b: Yadav 24r 31b 77.42s

Aaron Finch b: Kumar 6r 11b 54.55s

Usman Khawaja lbw: Jadeja 59r 81b 72.84s

Shaun Marsh c: Shami b: Yadav 54r 70b 77.14s

Peter Handscomb c: Dhawan b: Kumar 73r 61b 119.67s

Marcus Stoinis 47*r 43b 109.3s

Glenn Maxwell 11*r 5b 220s


You read that as openers failed and 3/4 batted too slowly and didn't kick on to 3 figures.

Stoinis will get a pat on the back for batting more than a run a ball but the start of his innings was deplorable. Maxwell would have obviously pushed this score over 300 if he has more deliveries to face.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Do we need anymore evidence that Justin Langer has NFI?

I can only presume he’s behind some of the batting order & lineup.

I mean Maxwell at 7? He’s the only batsmen we have with a great strike rate.

Stoinis comes in and shoulders arms?

Credit to Handscomb for a decent innings.

 

[TheParraboy]

early wickets are the key

if we get 10 of them, we most likely win the match...

 

[vvvrulz]

That was a real Dhoni innings - looks heroic on paper but pretty poor in context

 

[TheParraboy]

Gilly was saying we have 12 more ODI after this one before the world cup

2 more v India on home soil
5 v india in india

Who we play in the other 5 ODIs?

 

[shiznit]

Yikes... don’t really know what to say about that...

They certainly weren’t terrible... very solid... but considering the wickets in hand it seemed about 40-50 short of what they should have got...

Having said that... the surface could be slow... the batsman seemed to struggle abit to get the ball away at times... even a guy set like Stoinis. so it may not be a bad score.

Is the SCG a drop in??

 

[TheParraboy]

$5 on Handscomb top scorer and Lyon top wicket tacker for Australia

35/1

collect $175

COME ON GOAT

Hohns - 'Glenn, focus on white ball cricket champ. 2019 is your year.'

2015 World Cup
88 off 39 batting 4 against Afghanistan
66 off 40 batting 6 against England
102 off 53 batting 5 against Sri Lanka (At the bloody SCG)
44 off 29 batting 6 against Pakistan (Semi-final)

Why the hell is he batting 7?

Even if he does bat 7, why were 3-6 batting so slowly knowing our main lever-man was waiting to bat?

 

[typicalfan]

Sydney is always on the slow side. India will get them easily especially with the JLT cup bowling attack.

293

Im calling it

278

you were closer

 

[TheParraboy]

Will be a great score if we win the match

Will be 30-40 runs short if India get there with couple of overs to spare, but thing to consider with master tactician and mathematician Dhoni in the side, he could take it further into the innings than it needs to be

 

[mozza91]

The Swans will be looking to sign the entire Indian 11. Amazing display of fumbling.

 

[TheParraboy]

Got a bad feeling India will make a flying start...

 

[TIGER14]

Handscomb goes up in the Man of the Match stakes for going with the yellow floppy hat.

 

[blaza88z]

They should make the Perth Scorchers play the same time as Australia plays ODI, see how fast Langer wants to bring in the WA players then

 

[jargan83]

Aaron Finch is a genius

 

[blaza88z]

That's called "doing the Watto", horrible review
