^^ Aussie openers are key in this run chase for Australia as few OZ batsmen have good striking rate over all. this pitch is flat and Dew factor surely come in the play during second inning so real test for Indian bowlers.

We still have 50 overs cricket left so sit tight and enjoy the game.

Fun fact :

29 times India scored 340 + runs

Won 28 , Lost 1

Against Australia

Now, I have a gut feeling after reading the fun fact, this will be a one sided match again. Chances are very high India winning the second ODI 😀😀😀😀

Excellent comeback by India team after than defeat. And now it's time for Australia to show that their batsmen are worth not only for easy targets but also for a challenging one.
Seeing the unimpressive bowling by Indian bowlers in the last match, the game is going to be a competitive one.

Brilliant batting by team India although shreyas Iyer was a disappointment overall everyone performed. Exceptional batting by Rahul coming down the order. This guy has proved again that he can bat at any order and perform.

Overall 340 is a good score by team India. Now the pressure is on Australian openers.

Brilliant catch of Virat changed the calculation of runs slightly in favor of Australia. Still India can fancy 50 more runs.

And one more wicket down for India, Pandey ji gone Grin

Last 6 important overs of inning.

I hate to say but i am loving KL Rahul's batting  Grin

Meanwhile 40 overs gone and its 249/3.Kohli looks dangerous at the moment and he can take away the innings to next level from now on.

The batsmen are doing their job at the moment and it seems like India will reach something close to 340 at his point which seems optimal. However, the bowlers need to bowl really well since the batsmen are clearly doing their job.
Once score reaches 300 it gives psychological confidence to their team in the second innings which will get reflected on bowling as well as fielding.

Australia was looking for a wicket and now they got the wicket of Shikhar Dhawan and they denied him scoring a century as he was caught in the deep and if Australia is able to pick some quick wickets then they can deny India building a huge total and i hope they can pick the wicket of Kohli and put pressure back to India Wink.
Do you really think India are not set for a big total at this point? 320+ seems easy at this point. India is actually piling on the pressure at present.

Good comeback from team india from their first ODI loss,its time for to get some revenge. Cool

India is playing really well and as long as Kohli is in the middle they will pose a huge total even though India lost a couple of quick wickets but KL Rahul is in the crease and with the form he is in i am expecting him to build a good partnership with Kohli and if they last till the 45th over then they have the batting power to score some quick runs and if India should win they should score above 340 runs to put any pressure on the Australian batsman.
Following the first match Australia have now chosen to bowl first. From the beginning everyone have played good. Dhawan played well and he missed the century. If he have hit the century further he could've scored some fast runs. Anyhow now kohli and Rahul stands to make the team strong. With the current run rate possible the score will reach between 320-340

I hope this is going to be an high scoring game,probably 350+ for sure since India hold their wickets and scoring at good run rate even in 30th overs.Final 10 will be more destructive if Kohli stays on the crease.

Shikhar Dhawan approaching his century and Virat Kohli coming back to his regular batting order and the counter attack is good and Australia is trying their best to pick up a wicket

India vs Australia, Australia main the toss again and again choose to bowl first. Will they repeat the same performance as they did in the first ODI. What do you think?
India started really well and even though India lost the wicket of Rohit Sharma they are looking for a huge total as Shikhar Dhawan approaching his century and Virat Kohli coming back to his regular batting order and the counter attack is good and Australia is trying their best to pick up a wicket but India is rotating the strike and scoring boundaries with ease and with the form Australia is performing in recent times India needs a huge total to win the match.

Just heard the news that BCCI has not renewed the contract of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The end of an era. After IPL I think he will announce his retirement from one day cricket. I do not think her will do the same for T20.
You are jumping to conclusions. Its not over until MSD himself announces his retirement to the world which will probably not happen anytime soon. Think about it. If he wanted to retire early, he would have done so immediately after the World Cup last year.

He will be back although I am not sure if he will be part of the upcoming World T20 squad(Am hoping that he makes it). My interest in the upcoming World T20 will fall considerably if he isn't part of the squad. Lets see what happens.

BCCI says as he has not played in last 6 months due to which they have not included him . But definitely it is a heated topic in the country beacuse India won all the championship and World Cup under his capataincy and not including him is like ignoring him . Hopefully they would have intimated and had discussions with Dhoni before announcing this news.

I am not sure what changes will be there for today's match but, if India goes out with 4 seamers then again they will lose today's match. Batting was never a weak point for India, it was always the bowling.

How can you say that batting is not a concern, when they failed to get a good score in the first ODI? In fact, it was the poor batting, which put pressure on the bowlers. A total of 255 is very difficult to defend in Indian conditions, and that too against top batsmen such as David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne. They could try going in with two spinners (Kuldeep Yadav/ Yuzvndra Chahal) in addition to Ravindra Jadeja. Or they can continue with just one spinner and replace Shardul Thakur with Navdeep Saini.

The fortunes of India will depend a lot on Jasprit Bumrah. I have a feeling that he is still not 100% fit. Playing a couple of Ranji Trophy matches would have helped him, but he refused to do that.

What do you suggest should be done on the batting front?

Last match the pitch report clearly stated that team batting first will have issue, and at that pitch a score of 260 to 280 was good. Unfortunately India did not reach 260. The only issue I found with the batting was Kholi batting down the order.

Australia just proved that they can dominate India and if India can rebound then it would be great because the odds will be in favor of Australia, i wanted good odds and for that India needs to perform better in the next match and if that does not happen then the odds will be loop sided. Before the series i was expecting a close series but it is a one sided trashing and India needs some extraordinary performance to win the match.

Australia is having a very balanced team and most of their players are in top form. On the other hand, India is heavily dependent on a few players, such as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for batting and Jasprit Bumrah for bowling. Unless the younger players (such as Sreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Shardul Thakur and Kuldeep Yadav) can share some of this load, defeating Australia is going to be a very distant dream.
Indian team also got the ability but they failed to deliver on that occasion.Its likely KL Rahul will replace the injured pant for the tomorrow's ODI it will bring the balance in the middle order? Hopefully I guess.

I can understand the sentiments of our neighbours but Solace in others misery is not a good thing Tongue.

Well, I hope Indians don't lose again tomorrow like the way they lost this one. Aussies, please lower the winning margin from next time; at least lose a couple of wickets before completing the target so that Smith too can get a chance to bash Shami and Bumrah! Smiley

Conspiracy theorist indicates that India should win the second game after all CA don't want to piss off BCCI Cheesy. In the limited over cricket smith is not dangerous and his batting is boring but i am more interested in Marnus Labu_Big_Name.

JSRAW and TalkStar,
Seriously guys I like your poetries. They are even better than TMAN's poetry. And I am out of F**king sources merits :-p
Well done to you both and by the way, next match tomorrow. My bet on Australia again and if India lose again then I hope to see some more poetry? :-D

Thanks Bhai, Although i didn't get your "TMAN's poetry " joke.
----Out of source merits----- you said the same thing last month  Tongue

~Snip~

If KL Rahul is keeping instead of injured Pant then would like to see Kedar Jadav as an batting all-rounder. India can use extra hand in bowling department when bowling in the middle overs.

Fans going gaga over this news " New Contract" in the social media.
Edit : MS Dhoni Starts Practising With Jharkhand Ranji Squad oh well, that was quick.
