I am looking at a big inning from Gill at that stadium. nevada and SRT100 2 Link to comment

I don’t think he has any agendas like that , even if he officiates , India will win Did I say there is logic ? He is just a panauti - he has a 100 % record over a sample size of 10 years. Unless there is pressure from BCCI to change how ICC uses semi final umpires for finals ( go check all the previous world cups ) - Kettleborough will officiate in the finals. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment
Nikhil_cric Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Read one of the Cricviz analysts , Ashwanth, on Twitter. Bumrah finding his line and length in the first over is absolutely key . He has rarely , in his ODI career, found his accuracy back when he messes up his first over. Very important that he does not go searching for non existent swing in Ahmedabad with his radar.

Number Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) There is no need to overplay this "Aussies mentally stronk" thing. We have smashed them in their backyard in their favorite formats 2 times. They have lost their fair share of matches in WCs. It can go either way but to beat us they will have to play good cricket.

rangeelaraja Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) My biggest fear is Starc and Hazlewood with the new ball. Starc on his day ( and he is a big match player) , can finish a game in his opening spell with that sharp late in swing into the right handers. He was the mastermind behind us being 3 wickets down for nothing in the group game. And he did to South Africa again today. If we can survive Starc with the new ball - I’d back us to win 100 % . He is not that great with the older ball. We just need to survive Starcs 1st spell and play Ashwin instead of Siraj. Edited November 17, 2023 by rangeelaraja Link to comment

Yes, we did smash them but the Aussies bounced back to trounce us in the WTC final. Travis Head came out of nowhere to play a match winning knock. We need Gill or maybe Surya to sting the Aussies and take the game away from them. Rohit and Kohli are due for law of averages failure. Also, the Aussies could target Shami as he is our chief weapon. It would be nice if Siraj went back to giving powerplay breakthroughs and Bumrah got his line and length right from the first over. Link to comment

We had no proper preparation for that match. 4th seamer Yadav was useless and clear weak link. Australia were better prepared and better team in English conditions as they play there way too often than us. Link to comment

Yes we are slightly nervous. Just mentioning that we are not like SA or NZ who lose the match against Aus before the toss due to their mental block. Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 If we get Travis Head early on.... It's over for Australia. He is the dangerman... Already smoked us in WTC. Big games don't fluster him at all. Beating a bogey side like NZ will always help. We are Australia's bogey side for last few years... So match up suits us a bit. The Hound 1 Link to comment

dilliboy Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Australia has Mavericks like Maxwell,Head and Starc who are just likely to have a stinker or a WC game where they blow the opposition away. India struggles against these kind of players on the big stages... let's hope atleast 2 of the 3 fail SRT100, nevada, The Hound and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Is Dua Lipa coming to perform in the finale? .. Star sports has been promoting her in last week or so... She has album coming too I guess. Laundas may line up in Amdavad... SRT100 1 Link to comment

SRT100 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 While India is 99% likely to go with an unchanged team, surely there must be a discussion of including Ash for SKY. Link to comment

cowboysfan Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 imo it will be a drier wicket than Mumbai.both pacers and spinners will do wll but batsmen can still score on it.Toss wont be a big factor in this game . Link to comment
