India V Australia 3rd ODI 22 March 1830hrs @ Chennai

[frankrizzo]

I'll say it again..

How do we constantly win odis in india but not tests? i understand it's more of a all in or out type of match but it still boggles me

Is it really that hard to understand? pakistan won a one day world cup in australia but always get thumped here in tests is a completely different form of the game on completely different pitches played by different players.

Got any predictions for the WA/Vic final starting today?

WA and there quicks being the difference.

My thoughts exactly, will be easier for Morris to acclimatize and succeed bowling on bouncier tracks, then Handscombe batting on a bouncier track, after weeks batting on low slow dust bowls.

 

[Freezin]

I was nervous for him before tour, but he was clearly the best gloveman out of the 4 that played in both tests and odi

Pity it sucked the life and intelligence out of his batting in India.

 

[Westend]

Wow we won thought we where gone when I went to bed.. they did a us and collapsed with the bat

Well done lads

Still annoyed about the batting though

 

[dumb]

not going to bowl teams out with agar and stoinis bowling 20 overs together

They won't bust open a team like Starc but they did the job

Kohli wicket was the turning point

Marsh has been in red hot form since returning to cricket....100+ for WA in a shield game, 50+ in the Marsh ODI final and then 2 x 50's and a 47 v India on their home decks..... when on song the guy could be anything, pity he doesn't sing enough.

I'm coming around to him having a Khawaja style redemption arch for the test team tbh.

He's been nothing short of World Class for a while in most forms of cricket.

Green + Marsh would be an interesting prospect at 6 & 7 in certain conditions.

Green and Marsh handy all rounders too. How old is marsh now anyway

31.

Pretty much the prime for some batsman.

Khawaja had just turned 35 when he returned at the SCG.

He knocked a run a ball ton in his only Shield Game this season a month ago against Tassie.

 

[Around the Wicket]

If Labuschagne is in the side he should bat 3 and if Warner is in the side he should open the batting.

 

[M Malice]

Geez my predictions are always spot on, don't get enough credit.

I am starting up a go fund me page for you to purchase this AtW.

Thankyou, will come in handy.

Last 3 predictions.

2nd Test when Australia were 1/60 at stumps in the 3rd innings I predicted Australia would lose 9/70 and lose, they lost 9/53 and lost.

Last Test after looking at the pitch before a ball was even bowled I said it'd be a flat track draw, people abused me but I was 100% spot on.

Last night Australia 220/7 I said it'd be a tough chase and India would lose.

I know my cricket.

Just enjoy the win Westy.

It was a bloody hard pitch to bat on.
The scoreboard tells you that.

 

[Tugga27]

If Labuschagne is in the side he should bat 3 and if Warner is in the side he should open the batting.

They both shouldn't be.

 

[Tugga27]

Media reports saying Australia will have a dilemma with the opening batting combination.

No dilema at all.
When someone comes in to replace you and gets the man of the series, it's obvious who should be opening.

If Warner doesn't open, and he shouldn't, he shouldn't be in the side.

 

[Drunkcat]

I like Agar in T-20s and 50 overs just not tests, Warner just needs to piss off, and N Ellis should get more games, and Labushagne is a shit batsman in the short form of the game

 

[Around the Wicket]

Labushagne is a s**t batsman in the short form of the game

Disagree, there is room for him in the ODI side.

 

[Tugga27]

Disagree.

Can't have two anchors in the side and Smith is better.

 

[largebus]

With the WC in India, this shows we can still win with the spinners if Starc has an off day. More encouraging than the last game.

Are Hazelwood and Cummins available for the WC?

 

[Moonwatcher]

We definitely need to play horses for courses in the world cup and not pick based on status.

 

[Around the Wicket]

My XI for World Cup

Alex Carey (wk)
David Warner
Marnus Labuschagne
Steve Smith (c)
Glenn Maxwell
Mitchell Marsh
Cameron Green
Pat Cummins
Mitchell Starc
Josh Hazlewood
Adam Zampa

You'd imagine so, but since it's in India you question the need for too many specialist pacemen.

 

[Westend]

Disagree.

What we did learn is that you cannot have marnus smudge and warner all in the same side.

They all provide the same anchor role. Too many for the team one is enough two max
