Haha  NO! Grin Not talking about you or anyone in this forum but my other cricket buddies IRL. TBH people are very respectful here as there are hardly any banter goes around in these part of the forum.
Small happy group without much fuss, the most calmest group in the entire forum belongs here i guess, no enmity nor stabbing. Cheesy

Anyways, NZ vs Ind tour is coming next week, its one month tour ( 5 T-20, 3 ODI and 2 Test)
It is going to be an interesting tour and hopefully the fast bowlers will perform well especially Bumrah and Shami.

Anyone can have a bad day and I think Bhomra had the same in the first ODI. But in the last two ODI he was outstanding. I had bet on Australia in all the ODIs and I was like come on Bhomra, give some space. His economic bowling always put pressure to the batsmen coz they know to cope up with the run rate they will have to hit the other bowlers. And when some of the other bowlers are top class spinners then batsmen are bound to make mistskes. I think India was very successful in their game plan execution.
Lol Royse. Its Bumrah(Not Bhomra). Felt great to see Bumrah retain his form so quickly after his injury. Kohli always depends on him to pull through during the crucial moments and he almost always does that. Kuldeep was my 2nd favorite since he took crucial wickets at crucial stages of the games.

After gigantic win against India in the first match, Aussie brigade ( read; fans) got very excited all over the interweb and Some of my Aussie friends were predicting clean sweep this time. they were saying that upcoming NZ vs India series going to be in between Australia's 2 bitches lol now they are hiding their face.  Grin
Lol. I tend to ignore such haters. Some people jump to conclusions way too quickly. Many people dismissed Rahul and Shami sometime back and look where they are now.

Boom Boom Bhomra( Wink) cornered the Australian players helping other bowlers gain wickets. I observed him doing this in both the 2nd and 3rd ODI matches though his performance was pretty bad in the 1st ODI.

Kohli deservs Man of the series. Batting, fielding and captaincy were as always outstanding.
I agree. People tend to underestimate the burden that Kohli had to shoulder especially after the 1st loss. He turned it out completely thanks to his own individual and team effort.

Fact is the entire Indian team was looking very confident even after losing the first ODI. I think they knew that they are way ahead than Australia especially their spin department in the middle overs and not to mention Bhomra's economic spells.

my player of the series is KL Rahul  Wink.
True that KL had some outstanding moments in keeping and also was able to prove him as a key player of the team but still I stick to Kohli. As a batsman he led the team from front, as a Captain he knew when to make changes, as a fielder he also had some great moments. So I have no doubt that the team who is responsible to find the MoS did the right thing.

It was as taugh call though.

How can Rohit deserve it? He had a century and a total of 169 runs in the 3 matches. Virat has two half centrury with a total of  183 runs in 3 matches. Besides his captaincy was good too. I think Virat deserve the MoS reward, not Rohit.
Virat Kolhi already won the man of the series award and since there was a debate regarding that my man of the series award goes to KL Rahul for this wonderful performance in the second ODI and then taking into account the wicket keeping skills that will help the team in including a batsman or a bowler and the dismissals he was part of as a keeper and the ability to bat in any position the team wants, my player of the series is KL Rahul  Wink.

Kohli winning the MoS was a bit weird as the MoMs were Rohit and Rahul. Rohit deserved it more I feel but overall their performance was good though expected them to get the required runs by the 40th over to recover from their first loss.

Kohli claimed they were trying something new in the 1st ODI and their plan failed. And with two consecutive wins, it seems he was telling the truth as Australia still seems to be a easy competitor for India in home. Though India suffers playing world cup in other countries, they are once again playing in home the next one. It's really difficult for other teams to play against India in India.

Yes the Indian team has made some experiments 1st odi match that gone for wrong to team India because we know the king kohli has comas to bat at no 4 and it when wrong but after the first lose india did necessary changes in the team and India overcome from first lose now won the series against australia really great show from Indian team.

Changes when done on right time lead to the desired results and this is an excellent example of it. They made changes and wanted to experiment some which they did in 1st and when they saw the result quickly they changed it and got the results in their favour too.

You need to see the bigger picture. Kohli captained the side in an excellent manner and in each of the games he was saving 15-20 runs with his fielding. His bowling changes were spot on, and his tactics proved handy against the in-form Australians. Rohit might have score more runs, but Virat scored the runs when they were required the most.

Kohli claimed they were trying something new in the 1st ODI and their plan failed.
The experimentation of shuffling the batting order failed other than that i did not find any further experimentation and they were not able to score a big total and Australia chased the total with ease and India were not even able to pick a single wicket in the match and in the rest of the match India played really well and won the series because the top order were able to perform in the matches they won. Now India will be traveling to New Zealand and it will be a good battle and hopefully the fast bowlers will be trump card in the series.

Actually player don't consider about their personal stats when they are in a need of a win to seal the series. Dhawan also missed centuries in this series and he could have reached them if he played little bit cautiously.

Kohli still have time to increase his personal stats of international career. Smiley

They only messed up during a single match against New Zealand due to 45 minutes of bad Cricket. Apart from that one match, they seemed like clear favorites to grab the cup just like England.

Kohli would be little disappointed due to missing of his century by 11 runs .Kohli was named man of the series and Rohit was man of the match . A good end as compared to poor start by India in this series .
I doubt he would be disappointed. He needed 11 runs while the team needed 13 runs to win the match which is why it was always difficult for him to hit a century. He didn't seem down too after losing his wicket since he knew that they would be the winning side.

India won the match in style and the series, Kohli missed out on a century but he proved again he is the king of run chases even though he was not able to stay till the end. The only player that will stay in the end in any chase is Dhoni and i really miss his performances. The reason i like the present team is that they always perform when the series is on the line.

Next India will be traveling to New Zealand and hopefully we will see a good contest.
Revenge done after losing the first match of the series.Next series will be the real test for team India because of changes in pitch from subcontinent and overseas will differ a lot so batsmen and bowlers will get struggle but they are good balanced team so yes it is going to be a good contest.

Fabulous innings by Rohit and Kohli helped India to win the match easily . Kohli would be little disappointed due to missing of his century by 11 runs .Kohli was named man of the series and Rohit was man of the match . A good end as compared to poor start by India in this series .
