Yup. It was a great decision.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2023
- Thread starter zing
- Start date
India don't have any depth. Other teams do
Gutted for Kohli, had done all the hardwork to unleash.
Interesting decision to get Jadeja in.
Interesting decision to get Jadeja in.
It's a good shout. He's more of an ODI batsman than SKY
It wasn’t hard work. He can bat at a 80 strike rate with his eyes closed
Kohli actually kept the scoreboard ticking. It's Rahul who's completely shell shocked here.
Australia taken the crowd out big time
KL Rahul gonna be this year’s scapegoat?
I disagree, it's a hard pitch to score on, especially if already under pressure.
To win 6 WCs between 1999 and 2023 is what I call an era of dominance
It would be 5 and I would suggest that giving them a trophy when the clear favourites for the whole tournament are 156-4 on a tricky pitch to score on is a bit melodramatic.
Some of you lot are a nightmare. Try not to treat this like a Utd matchday thread with claims of defeat 25% into a match. Loads of twists and turns to come here.
Come on far to soon to call this for Australia as of yet
I think Siraj will enjoy bowling on this.
India still Favs with all bookies.
300 still on.. Aus will struggle with anything over 250..
India's game to throw away ..

Australia are good odds to put a few quid on.
But yeah, there's still 20 overs left. Can easily get another 100-120 and all of a sudden india are defending 280+ with a strong bowling attack with the crowd behind them.
I think a wicket in the next five overs swings it however
Where are all the
love the wildly varying opinions in this thread -- can't ever accuse the caf of fence sitting
I personally want to switch off, get a nap and wake up in an hour because I am nervous
We can put 270 on here with some really good batting
we've been giving batting practise to Surya for years now, about time he puts some runs on the board
Yeah. India are still very much favourites for me with that destructive bowling attack regardless of what's gone on. This bowling performance just means it'll not be a procession as many may have expected.
Agreed, now we've given him some extra shielding too with jadeja coming in
Dew will make anything less than 300 an easy chase
It will be interesting to see how India's bowlers fare on this pitch. Doesn't seem like there's much in it for the fast bowlers, though I think Shami will be important against Australia's two left-handed openers. Doesn't look like there's a huge amount of turn in the pitch either, so Kuldeep and Jadeja's role might be more tailored towards stifling the run rate more than anything.
This is a final and India have three of the best five bowlers in ODI cricket in the world right now. Complete nonsense.
I think the key will be if Smith and Labuschagne can play the spinners at 5 an over
This is sensible batting. Milk it until the 40th and score 100 in the final 10.
hell just froze over
The tournament Shami is having he will come in and get 50 off 15 to take India to 300.
I think he's being sarcastic
Don’t get me wrong, KL is still a wasteman but his approach is justified today with the lack of lower order depth.
This is shit
KL is the ultimate wasteman successor to Ian Bell. Can't stand the prick
Rahul and Jadeja have to rotate the strike better. This has been poor by both of them
India's blowing attack is incredible.. 250 will be more than enough to defend ..
you reckon we should declare in another 10 overs?
Head and Marsh will make that a 150 chase in 40
Rahul has played so many supporting hands this WC. Here's a rare chance to do it all and immortalise himself
Yeah he needs to convert it, and possibly stay until the end
Bit of reverse swing..
