Match Thread : India vs Aus 1st ODI, Wankhade on 14th jan 2020

[Ajju]

Perfect time for Dhoni to comeback with pant injury

[R!TTER]

Wankhede is one of those places where there are lots of one sided games, in part because the conditions can change drastically from day to night! If you are batting first then 350+ is the minimum you should be aiming for, unless of course the pitch is turning square.

[ShoonyaSifar]

When will Kohli's cheerleaders sitting in the commentary box start saying the right things and criticize his pathetic leadership, team selection and lack of support to youngsters? Or is the PR mafia far too strong for that to happen?

[vayuu1]

Wankhede main gaanghode khol diye

[Straight Drive]

Now Finch gets a ton as well.

 

35 overs, two new balls being used, yet not a wicket. Runs been scored at 6.74 runs per over.

I was getting negative vibes and didn't watch a single ball so far.

Has the pitch eased out under lights or was our batting direction less against quality bowling.

Several of indian wickets were gifts. The pitch has seemed pretty consistent to me

wristslitters reunion

[raki05]

Aaj Mai full post match presentation dekhunga.....would like to see * face Kohli reaction.

[ganeshran]

PR machinery to come out in full force now.

[aditya19]

all matches on batting pitches...cant see indian team winning batting first. 

[shortbread]

Did Jadeja finish as the most economical bowler?

 

Somehow he always manages to do enough to make it into the next match!

[Fool]

Sorry guys. I know you wanted a diff result. Well some of you based on the comments.

 

I doubt you play 3 openers next match.

Yes PR Mafia is too strong to overcome,lets see how Gambhir and Ganguly go from here

Laxman already said he would like to see Thakur over Saini

Someone was saying Starc,Cummins can bat,yes they can bat Starc is hit or miss kind of bat, Cummins will not loose his wicket but won't play blinders either

We should be trying Chahar the leg spinner,

Wicket takers should always be preferred over fake allrounders who barely do their primary job

Thakur isn't a long term solution,they have messed up with Pant already,

I don't see Shaw,Gill given fair run either ,dark days

When iyer was settling in at 4 , they change positions 

Rahul position will be changed again

Garland in a monkey's hand. Or something to that effect as the saying goes. 

[Straight Drive]

It's a shame that not even 1 wicket was picked in 37.4 overs that too bowling in familiar conditions. Aussies scored at an impresive 6.85 rpo adding insult to injuury. The bowling attack needs to be changed.

we needed this badly,it shows our Aukat in LOI cricket right now.Years of bad selections like Jadhav et all have derailed our team,new selectors have to take charge from Kohli and bewda.

True, that was a much needed annihilation. However, the fact remains, if there is no 100 from top 3, India lose.

Maybe if the top 3 had not been selfish all these years, hogging all the batting vs easy opposition, the younger players would have developed by now. Add to it wasting 2-3 years on Rayudu, Jadhav, DK
