Wowsie. The thread already has 56 pages even before game starts. I can see a lot of excitement building up!

 

Hope the team don't buckle up under the pressure of expectations

After having lost the first two matches, Australia have made further changes to their squad with Steven Smith and Adam Zampa having already boarded the return flight. They will soon be joined by Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis, Marcus Stoinis and Sean Abbott, who're all expected to play their last match tonight.

I was kind of surprised that Steve Smith stayed back for first 2 T20s. Being an elite batsman, why would you even want to even play these matches just 4 days after winning the world cup?

he wants to be in the frame for IPL selection, no other reason otherwise...

If Gaikwad doesn't score today, i expect him to be out once Iyer comes next game. It will be uphill task for him to be in T20 WC task after that meaning only insane IPL would make a case of that.

This Gaikwad seems like a lazy ass runner…. He converts doubles in to singles. I have seen him doing this earlier as well against SL.

Effect of him getting run outs few times already.

Next-Gen bowling is crap.

[raki05]

Are we going to choke once again !! 

[vvvslaxman]

Is it one of those matches that was meant to keep the series "alive"?

[cowboysfan]

Gaikwad is a wanker,where did we find this idiot.

[vvvslaxman]

Ball is swinging all over.

[vvvslaxman]

SKY hit a six in one ball .   1 run in the remaining 11 balls. Now another six. But point is he cannot live on those sixes in ODIs.
