Saala.. Kya time aa gya hai.. This is a **** Australia and we are having so many apprehensions. Hamare 2 batsmen aur 2 bowlers bhi chal gye to inki lanka lag jayegi 

 

All depends on Rohit,Kohli and Shami

No dude. Never ever ever underestimate your opponent. This same Australia had us at 3 down for nothing in our first match. Their fast bowlers can end the match in first 4-5 overs ( just like ours can )…. So let’s not underestimate them. 
 

Both Starc and Hazlewood can be deadly

with the hard new ball if there is a little bit of help in the air and off the pitch

Preview from Aus perspective. These guys are awesome

Going to be one tough match. Hopefully, its a slow wicket with a bit of slow turn. Not sure India can consistently beat Australia on flat pitches.

not really.IMO the Kiwis were a tougher opponent.We know how to beat Australia,we just have to execute .

[wanted_desi]

Getting nervous for this match. Australia even they are not on India's level, they do punch above their weight. 

[rish]

All pundits predicting an Indian win.Not sure how.

 

Australia are no joke.They have too many match winners.

[putrevus]

You can never write Aussies off.They are resilient bunch who will fight for every run.

 

India has to play at their level best to beat them.Hope pitch offers some turn.

Yeah & we troll them too...  Nothing wrong in pointing out the obvious.  No political angle in this thread so far.

Only Gill has the experience of beating Aus in the final...  U19 WC. 

Both openers are crucial here.

Same Kinda track we saw in India - Pak as per reports.  So no extra bounce.  Skiddy Shami would be lethal I feel. 

Kuldeep should enjoy as well.

All i want is big partnership at really high RR to start with and then Kohli getting out before wasting too many balls and then KL, Iyer and SKy going bananas. Put as many runs after a good start.

Smith and Maxwell will want to make amends against spinners.They have seen how Mitchell neutralized by hitting straight.

I do expect them both charging down and hitting straight.

 

If Australia bat first I see them hitting 320 odd with Head or Marsh scoring big and Smith playing an 80+ odd innings and Maxwell hitting a whirlwind 40.

 

If they chase they will get to 250-260

 

not sure who wins though

Oh the bowlers - Bumrah and Siraj - definitely were below par. Nervous or "out of rhythm" from a 10 day break with only Holland in between.

Smith can...  But Maxi's strength are his slog sweeps.

Mitchell hits it straight vs pacers too..  Perhaps his muscle memory helps him there.. 

Iyer too has similar way to dominate spin by hitting straight.. Rohit is more midwicket cow corner guy vs spin.

It was swinging too.

[AKane]

I am living outside India.

 

Are there any shows where ex-cricketers are criticizing the wides and bowling effort (minus Shami) in the NZ match? The fielding effort and misfields too?

 

Any questions to Rohit/Dravid about the same?

 

It is good to point out these things and not be everything roses and sweets. A win makes this team an all-time great. A loss will send it to the crap-heap with a chokers tag. All the ten previous wins will be for naught.

On contrary India hammered them in the first 2 matches of recent odi series in flat pancakes. In last 6 odis in Aus against Aus on their roads its 3-3. Ind won series in 2018 they won in 2020/21. Indias batting has always been good on flat pitches..
