That action though.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Within the rules, but I don't agree with it. 

[Jairzinho]

Wasn't so much that I think it's against the rules, just that it looks fucking ridiculous.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Definitely.

 

I smell a few wickets coming up, Aussies gonna have to risk it soon. Good bowling still. 

[Captain Howdy]

Khawaja fail

[Captain Howdy]

Maxwell looks up for it

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Maxwell is a better option imo, far better player and keeps the score ticking. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Aussies will believe they are still in this, India went some in their last 10 though. If these two stay at the crease it could be a lot closer than I thought. India maybe thinking they had already won? 

[Captain Howdy]

Smith gone

[lifetime fan]

How the fuck did the ump not give that out? 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

4 down now, big wicket for India getting Smith out. Shit umpiring though, just as well India had their review, looked plumb from the off. 

[Captain Howdy]

All over now

[lifetime fan]

All over. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Wickets slow down the RR and up the pressure. Massive over this for India. 

[Captain Howdy]

Good catch

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Great catch all things considered. 

[Captain Howdy]

Carey’s had a good knock here

He has, but the Aussie commentators were going a bit OTT about him. If you look at his ODI career so far his strike rate is only in the low 80's and an average of 31. Good innings today though, finding the gaps well and just going for it. Aussies have made a better go of it than I thought they would, so fair play. They certainly have a few headaches about their batting line up in future matches though. Warner also looks a bit out of nick and searching for some form. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

That is some over from Bumrah. Something Starc couldn't do for Aus at the end of the Indian innings. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Good game that and a deserved win for India, they look mighty impressive in most aspects of their game. Aussies all out and India win by 36 runs. 

[Captain Howdy]

Aye, can’t see past India for this, we have every chance but I think they have the edge

[Jairzinho]

India are 5/2, we're 7/4...I just don't get it.

 

New Zealand at 9s and West Indies at 12s still represent good value, I reckon. Not convinced the top two in the market should be so short.

[Mudface]

Over optimistic punters.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

So the game between the West Indies and South Africa was abandoned due to rain yesterday and the same fate seems likely today for the clash between Bangladesh v SL. It would also be the second game without a result for SL as their game v Pakistan was also abandoned last week. The weather for tomorrows game between Australia and Pakistan at Taunton is also looking very dodgy indeed.

3 washouts already... and still two-thirds of the programme to go.

 

That's an irritatingly high percentage.

 

Hopefully today's game gets finished.
