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

[herbert henry1908]

Yeah - 4 days, 105 overs a day.

Will be allowed on a case-by-case basis. I think it’s to encourage tier 1 countries to find time in their schedules to play Zimbabwe/Ireland/Afghanistan. I get it from that perspective.

It’s fanciful, though.

They struggle to fit 90 overs in at the moment, plus I also think there’d be some concerns about the bowlers if they did get in 105 overs in a day.

I suppose if they only limit it to playing the smaller nations, but you know how these things go.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Was a good win

The 3 very early wickets plus the Dhoni crawl combination probably got us home
Berendorf and Richardson outstanding

We still needed to get 20-30 ruins more in the future , we aint gonna get 3 early wickets every game

Definitely need to tinker with the batting lineup. Maxwell is way too low, Carey isn’t good enough to be opening.

South Africa played Zimbabwe in a 4 day boxing day test, couple of years back

Good win, early wickets got us home. We need to tweak that top 4 though, all too similar batsmen.
Finch
Khawaja
Stonis
Marsh

37000 crowd, not bad

Probably 25-30k of that Indian fans?

Stoinis at no.3 would be interesting, you get the feeling he can score a few one day hundreds. He also seems to need time to get going, don’t think he’s suited to no.6.

 

[benched tiger]

Well if these two opening bowlers can keep producing effects like this I would prefer them along side Pat in the team rather than Starc and Haze who have been f##king ordinary in all forms of cricket.

Does anyone know Richardson’s previous ODI best bowling figures?

They’re bad before tonight, but he’s only played a few games

I don't think Khawaja and Smarsh's fifties were that great, but I'll take theirs over Dhoni's.

Warney only recited them about 5 times during the game and had a good old laugh each time.

Starc is the best ODI bowler in the country, craps all over Cummins.

Starc should be focussing on the World Cup and not playing against Sri Lanka.

Test cricket is the pinnacle of the sport and should always be treated as such

But he’s not bowling well enough to be in the test team. Problem solved.

He’s always been a much better white ball bowler anyway.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Ha! That was unexpected. Solid win.

 

[undertaker]

Just watched some brief highlights of the match. Excellent bowling from Richardson, and some decent performances in our batting lineup.

Did something happen to the batteries in the zinger bails/stumps? Thankfully there weren't any close run-out decisions to be made, as those dark bails at night would've been difficult to pick up.
