stupid jadeja bowling no-ball at last ball of the innings...

 

[aussie1st]

Well played Duss, probably his best knock in ODI cricket.

 

[Sedition]

Haha, was hoping Dave would finish like that after the dropped catch. Just another day out for Huss

 

[Prithvi]

Specialty of Ravindra Jadeja!
This was a Jaddu? over!

 

[SaiSrini]

Again, rain spoils all the good momentum that was built up by India. Started off as an ODI match, ended up like a T20 innings. When we came out after the rain, Vinay and Praveen (our best bowlers) had already bowled a major chunk of their overs and were allowed to bowl only 3 more overs between them in the remaining 21 overs that we bowled. And the spinners bowling with the wet ball got more disadvantage. Jadeja and Ashwin both were completely off colour today, more so due to wet conditions. Only Rahul Sharma looked OK.

It would be a great win if we win this. But right now, Australia on the front seat. And India's target is going to be revised (for India's worse) when we come out. The rain curse looks to be following this all throughout.

kinda feel sorry for jadeja because they obviously didn't think about bowling the last over when selecting the team.

west indies one?

Superb knock by Dave Hussey and good supporting role by Christian. Christian's bowling will be useful today.

Jeez, over a third of our overs played like a proper ODI, and no adjustment made. Luckily Wade hit that 6 and 4 just before the break, or we might've lost runs

Never seen D/L not adding runs, strange to say the least.

 

[Num]

How is the D/L method not adding any runs to the target fair? Australia batted the first 11 overs of their innings under the assumption they would have to bat the full 50 overs and thus they wouldn't have been as attacking as they would be had they known it would be a 32 over-a-side game from the start, yet India get that very benefit of knowing their 10 wickets only have to last across 32 overs?

Starc! The no Tendulkar 100 roadshow continues.

Apparently 2 wickets = no added runs, which is bs. Starc reminding me of a certain left armed quick we used to have.

 

[angryangy]

I figured the target would be 219; but the calculations use a constant called G50, if they've changed that to reflect higher scoring matches, then it might adjust by less. Even so, only 2 runs.

 

[Sedition]

Starc strikes again That boy's starting to convince me.

 

[aussie1st]

Starc showing his other side tonight, hasn't got a wicket through his swing.
