2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Game 5 India v Australia 8/10 1900hrs @ MA Chidambaran Stadium

19 run partnership. Need to end it now.

One day a rooster and the next day a feather duster

What a cluster*.

I still can't get past that Marsh drop. Man, that was so bad and could cost us badly here. I hope he bowls out of his skin, because his contribution so far has been putrid.

Was a tough chance. Had to get there with no time to settle for the catch.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Crowd has me believing every run is a 4

 

[Moonwatcher]

Tight at least from Green

 

[hawkman]

This is an awful pitch for an ODI

 

[Moonwatcher]

India happy just not to give Max any wickets.

TBF if we catch Kohli then it becomes real tense.

Hate to be one of those 'T20s and boundaries suck' people but this is compelling viewing compared to the vast majority of ODI's.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

You need to bowl slightly short on this pitch. Work it out Australia.

Appalling drop. I'm still not over it

 

[Moonwatcher]

Need a wicket every 20 runs ( a bit less) so need the 4th by 79 runs.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Wonder what Stoinis would have done had he played today

 

[Moonwatcher]

Yep, Carey was no where near it but distracted Marsh.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Wonder what Head and Marsh would have done had Head been available

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

This is an awful pitch for an ODI

To be fair if I was a neutral I wouldn’t mind watching a stressful match like this. Even 30 more runs makes this a contest and a half.

As an Australian I’m stressed and I don’t like it

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

What sort of dh bowler would pitch it up on this pitch,?

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Pies

 

[hawkman]

Green is too inconsistent with the ball

 

[Aussie_boy]

Can't bowl there to Virat. Green still a bit too loose with the ball IMO.

 

[Moonwatcher]

That's phucked his bowling average.

 

[scottywiper]

We're a lot sloppier in field than we used to be

 

[Moonwatcher]

We're a lot sloppier in field than we used to be

Started real sharp

 

[HK_Hawk]

FFS, Green. Why would you pitch it up on this wicket and do it a second time after getting smashed the first time. Dumb dumb dumb cricket in the circumstances of this match.

 

[Bedi]

Yep, Carey was no where near it but distracted Marsh.

Carey was literally right there so not sure what you mean
