How do you describe about today's match? Is that India played really poor or Australia played something exceptional.
Its good to see the terrific opening partners back into action.

Indian batting line up is always dependent on one batsman earlier it used to be Tendulkar and nowdays it is kholi. If Kohli does not performs the whole middle order gets cracked. If any team wants to win against India they only need to get the top three batsmen and they will win the match.
You underestimate the current Indian lineup way too much. The Indian batting lineup goes deep due to plenty of capable batsmen and judging them because of a single match is pure bullshit. Plenty of match-winners in this team. Pitch was Flat
Humiliating for Indian fans
OZ were outstanding
Rohit was rusty
Dhawan-Rahul misfired
kohli saying - Ben $%#$-
Sheyas got scared
Pant is a dud
Jadeja meh meh meh
Shardul tried to fit
Kuldeep was unlucky
Aussie hammered rest of them

. I don't think Shardul will last long in this squad since he seems to be a better batsman than a bowler. Chahar or Bhuvi will probably replace him in the near future.

What a terrific experience of the home team, Nobody expects such type of result even Team Australia, I think this is the lesson for the India and Virat, I think 255 was not a good score but what Warner and Finch have done that was unbelievable, only a lot of dedication and confidence could be the way of getting such type of performance, After coming back to the team, Warner is passing a marvelous time with his bat, So this is the way a great player has to prove, again and again, I think team India has to learn a lot of thing from that match but my prediction goes to Australia to win this series.
What do you really expect from the bowlers, when the batsmen failed to put even 260 in a perfect batting track where a total of 300-320 would have proved insufficient?
I expect them to at the very least take a couple of wickets since they are world class bowlers. I don't blame the batsmen completely since Dhawan and Rahul did perform. They failed in all 3 departments(Not just batting).It was the batting department which lost the game for India. Indian batsmen once again proved that against good opposition, they are too much dependent on Virat Kohli and if he fails then the team will end up with a below par score. The number one team, playing at home and losing the match by 10 wickets. How does that sound?
Kohli himself is not that consistent these days. India lost on all 3 fronts which is why it is stupid to just criticize the batsmen. Bowlers should not be blamed because its a batting track? Silly logic. Not a single bowler performed well basically.Indian batting line up is always dependent on one batsman earlier it used to be Tendulkar and nowdays it is kholi. If Kohli does not performs the whole middle order gets cracked. If any team wants to win against India they only need to get the top three batsmen and
they will win the match.
I would not agree to it beacuse now each and every player is capable of match winnings innings by himself as against before case . Now consider Rohit , Dhawan , Hardin, KL Rahul, Jadeja etc can make you win by bat as well individually .

When Tendulkar was playing he was the only player who could change the match and the entire team revolved around him until Gangually and Dravid established themselves in the team but now the team might revolve around Kohli but Rahul and Rohit Sharma are performing as well and if India is getting a good start then they usually set a good score and Dhoni was there to protect one end even if the top order failed but now we are not having Dhoni and if the top order fails the entire team fails 
I really don't want a whitewash from them
Whitewash? I don't think so. India is still in this tournament even after such a humiliating defeat, but don't count them out just because of a single loss. They will bounce back though it will definitely not be easy against such a powerful Australian side.

I would definitely blame the bowlers since they could not take a single wicket between which is downright pathetic. Both the bowlers and batsmen performed horribly. However, Warner and Finch had a lot of luck in this match. Lets see if luck favors them in the next one.
Yeah, but bowlers shouldn't take all the blame when the batsmen too did not perform well. Not being able to take a single wicket was still fine if they had to have a good economy rate and let the Aussies struggle with dot balls. Except for Jadeja and Yadav, the remaining best bowlers of the team were miserable. Jadeja made Warner struggle.
Winning the toss was a major factor so hope next time India wins the toss and bowls first.

Too much experimenting with the batting line up has resulted in this worst performance by the Indian side. As a captain you know you are set as 3rd batsman for more than a decade why experiment with the order?
This tournament is not meant for experimenting, I guess the captain and the coach forgot.
It seems match is already slipped away from India now as they are 110/0 in 14 overs and now just require 147 runs in 36 overs with 10 wickets in hand. It should be very easy chase for them now as Warner and Finch are hammering the bowlers everywhere. Can India turnaround from here?
The Indian captain made the mistake of sticking on with the pace bowlers. Shardul Thakur and Mohammad Shami were conceding a lot of runs, and the Australian batsmen (David Warner and Aaron Finch) were making use of their pace to score runs. He should have called the spinners earlier. The run rate dipped once Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja started their spells.
Bowling has always been an issue with the Indian side. Four seemers and only one spinner was a big mistake. Indians are known for spin balling and Australians are known to struggle with it.

They will bounce back though it will definitely not be easy against such a powerful Australian side.Can't blame the bowlers as the batsmen were equally disappointing. Thakur, Bumrah, Shami all had over 7-8 economy rate. Glad Kohli said he was miserable in all three departments.

However, Warner and Finch had a lot of luck in this match. Lets see if luck favors them in the next one. It's the second largest chase without a wicket loss. These records are certainly much worth than individual scores. And this all done in an stadium in Mumbai. This shows a promising new team for the next world cup in India. India has been strong in the past decade on its home soil getting it's 2nd ever world cup.
Australia dominated India while they are touring and it was a special match for everyone as they were able to defeat the hyped surrounding India when they defeated minnows in cricket for the past few months and i was looking forward to their series against Australia New Zealand and England and how they are going to play against these nations rather than the rest of the countries and i am sure India will bounce back from the defeat but the first match showed how dominant Australia can be with their current form.
Not only disappointing but an embarrassing match. Australia won in just 37 overs and that too without losing any wicket. Can't blame the bowlers as the batsmen were equally disappointing. Thakur, Bumrah, Shami all had over 7-8 economy rate. Glad Kohli said he was miserable in all three departments.
Aron Finch and Warner has once again broken their own record of partnership against India in ODI. The performance by David Warner after his return to the team is something big. Right now India is strong in Chase and need improvement on batting first. In today's cricket as most of the users mentioned a bigger target could've been set for chasing.
Warner had a horrible time during the Ashes. The Australian selectors showed a lot of courage by not dropping him from the squad. He made less than 100 runs from 10 innings against England. But then he came back strongly against Sri Lanka, Pakistan and New Zealand. Today I feel bad for Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne. They didn't got a chance to bat, as a result of the record breaking stand between Warner and Finch.

I didn't expected this when match started and I don't remember many games where India lost to Aussie in such manner. Last humiliating and one sided game i remember is 2003 WC final match. One thing is clear, no matter what. Best batsman should bat at Number 3 and now Indian team need to get their shit together in the next game, which they are very capable of doing. Otherwise this home series will not look good in their scorecard.
When the match started i was expecting a competitive match and i am seeing India dominated by an opposition in India after a very long time, when ever any team comes to India the matches are always close victory and i was also expecting that but this was a one sided trashing and India was experimenting too much with weaker teams and now the experiment backfired and it is good to see some teams dominating India.
