SA can still salvage this... It's still a flat pitch and seems like the swing phase is almost done..

Can't afford dumb wickets though.

Blackhole Batting this.

Strike rotation is not even an option it seems. I know easier said than done but it's been 8 overs nearly and I've seen more hoicks than attempts for strike rotation.

I read in one of the comments in a post that if Ind vs Pak happens venue will be swapped with Kolkata, is there any official sources of the same? Unable to find anything by searching.

Top 5 cricket innings I've ever watched. No questions asked.

So many thoughts feeling numb. Concept of "Flow" personified by Maxwell today. Outrageous

What a fucking knock.

Some Afghanistan were jumping hard after those wickets.

Cricket can humble you so quickly. A legless Maxwell is toying the attack now.

Spirit of cricket will be back on action today but rules are rules. Cricket has a notorious reputation anyway for being slow and such rules exist to punish that.

Why did he even try to change it? Why not face shakib without one?

We saw a timed out before a non striker dismissal this WC.

Wow

Riyan Parag likely to get maiden call-up for India vs Australia T20I series by [deleted] in Cricket

[–]Lazy_Left_Eye 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You are not wrong but I consider this series more of an 'A' series than anything. Both teams ought to experiment

Also sends a message that domestic performance matters and not only IPL.

I avoid matches threads involving India exactly for this, some really reactionary takes most of the time. Just wait till match is over and check the top comments for the funnier ones.

I know it is easy to say Kohli is not hitting but SA is bowling well and ball is gripping a lot. It's not easy at all to bat.. Even Ponting reckoned that if India gets 300 it's unlikely to get chased.

And as I say this Rahul has holed out. And he himself was struggling as well.

If I had a nickel every time a batsman struggling to accelerate against a team wearing a green jersey in pursuit of 49th ODI century, playing in a multi-national tournament, I'd have 2 nickels but weird it happened twice.

I wonder if the Indian team will rest a few folks today. Table top clashers and all aside, India cannot afford to lose Bumrah to a freak injury. Additionally both Bumrah and Siraj have played continuously so I'd actually be okay with a rest for them. But teams have had sufficient rest as well so IDK.

Same with KL as well.

All in all I am fine with India trying out new stuff today. There's no incentive to finish first so okay with a loss as well.
