just copying a captain’s innings.

Would be funny if the lasting memory of the 'Narendra Modi Stadium' is India losing a WC final in it.
The struggle is real out there
50 overs seems like a stretch now.
Aussies fielding has been excellent. I think they’ve saved at least 8-9 boundaries.
Yikes 
brutal stuff

Yup quite amazing. The anticipation to go with the skill and dedication.
Again, really odd innings from SKY. This Indian batting strategy hasn’t been well thought out (other than Rohit).
Welcome to the cricket thread
Will India ever stop making stupid selections? Who was it in the last WC? I've even forgotten his name,
Yadav just gently waving his bat in the general direction of every single one of those bouncers.
Very poor from India to not make 250. Still game on but I can't call it now. Hoping for a nail biter.
He averages 27 in ODIs. He's lost in the format
They've been waiting for him to play that stroke. Just a matter of time.
Australia are going to chase this without breaking a sweat. No matter how good India's bowling attack is, this is hardly a score to defend.
Pathetic from SKY.
Isn’t that because he comes in lower down to just hit and give some impetus?
To be fair india have batted well enough for 250-260, aussie fielding has turned it into 225.
This is far from over though, just see at as 1-0 Australia at half time.
India need two or so quick wickets otherwise Australia will stroll to this total
I endorse this football analogy.
Big fan of Cummins as capt. Thinks on his feet, and leads from the front every game.
I like the way the feed is now constantly showing replays of Shami taking wickets rather than showing highlights from this game.
Like Linekar said ,22 blokes kick the football and the Bloody Germans always win.
Substitute Germans for Australia in Cricket.

Kuldeep has looked like a much more accomplished batsman than SKY
Aussies 2 overs late. They should waste some extra time in the final over. Take a silly review. Bring the dew closer.
This score is 350. Anyone thinking this will get chased doesn't understand the game.
He's definetly getting better but thought he bottled the Ashes a bit.
Unbelievable player though.
India are going to have to really up their fielding for the Aussie innings. This is probably a better score than it looks, but India's fielding is their weakest attribute.
He probably would have scored more trying to just smash it and get out sooner
Slow slow pitch.
Looks really difficult to bat once the ball gets soft

Would be a typical thing to do as well.
A 4 
Yea that’s what he should have done when Rahul was playing the overs.
How could he have bottled it when he retained it - odd description.
240!
India added about 40 by seeing out the full overs
241 in the last WC final
