I disagree. Giving Vijay the ball was the riskier option due to his horrible first over where he was getting clobbered all over the ground.

On the other hand, Jadhav kept the ball low smartly and even took a wicket or two which is why Kohli's decision to go with Vijay was a great call.

The risk had to take because Jadhav could easily give the remaining 11 runs. Low balls or great spin may not work if just only two balls would need to hit hard.

The last over Kohli needed someone who could bowl such a way that the batsman miss it.

Right,even the best spinner can't defend the runs on last overs so they left out with no other option to pick Vijay and he is also having good first class career and can bowl as a regular pace bowler on Indian pitches.In future we may see him as bowler as well.

True and if you ask me , Bumrah is the one who changed the match and got the victory for Indians . Although Kuldeep managed to pick up important he gave many runs at the end of his spell but Bumrah maintained the pressure and bowled a fantastic 47th over which pressurized Aussies even more .

Completely true. Bumrah proved why he is the number one baller in ODI cricket at present. He is easily the best fast bowler at present.

I especially love his death bowling strategies where he actually ends giving less runs while other ballers usually struggle in comparison.

He is one of the best bowler because of his unusual bowling action which is confusing the person who is at the crease at every ball he bowls.I hope he will continue to be like that but if people starts to read his action then he might be less effective just like the story of lasith malinga.

Lasith Malinga still is a good bowler. He is a wicket taker for Sri Lankan.

By the way, who is watching Sri Lanka Vs South Africa? My pick is Sri Lanka today. May be they can afford some wins like they did in the test series?

I really lost interest on these matches because Sri lankan team was not at the best like how it used to be before so for me it looks like always going like one sided matches.Lets see who will win today.

Its been a big difference from the test series where Sri Lanka played well to the ODI series where they are losing badly. Being bowled out for just 138 runs when chasing a moderate total of 251 runs is a poor performance by Sri Lanka and I expected them to do much better then this. Right now they don't look like doing well in the upcoming World Cup unless they can turn their form around in the remaining three matches.

I need to say that they were failed to create the players at this generation,we saw many legendary players from Sri Lanka but now nothing to talk much about it.I think they need to use the upcoming IPL tournament well to get their form somewhat for each players.

[AB de Royse777]

Again Sri Lanka lost the last ODI and with that I lost my money too :-P

This Sri Lankan team needs some betting depth I think. They are always failing in Betting. 251 runs were not too big to chase in this pitch.

You think this will help them to perform better in the World cup? T20 and ODI are two different platform to perform.

I’m surprised you choosed to place a bet on Srilanka in the first place, it was a risky bet right from the start you should have studied their form before placing a bet on them. This Srilanka team has no legendary players that can help them win, and I don’t think their current squad will even win more than 2 - 3 matches in the World Cup. I’ll agree Ipl form won’t help them in the World Cup, as in IPL the format is different and more money is involved, but in World Cup there’s less money so that’s always a factor.

It's the supporting philosophy. I think I already expressed it in here that I was a big fan of Sri Lankan cricket from the 1996 world cup. Since then I always had this soft corner for them and support them.

Yesterday, in some point I felt they may win despite they lost some wicket but it did not happen. Anyway, I am ok with that. I really hope Sri Lanka become a better team.

I can understand your affection for them, but the current Sri Lankan team is plain horrible and they don't stand a chance in my opinion with regards to winning the world cup.

They need to make drastic changes to their team and this is something which everybody would agree on.

And I am on the same page like you :-)

It was just a moment which triggered me to bet for them :-P

I do have no expectation from this Sri Lankan team in this world cup. I doubt even they will pass the group round.

Indians are red hot favorites to win the world cup and I guess nobody can stop them , I was of the opinion that England could be the one team who can stop them but now I don't really feel like that , what do you guys say ?

Although England is playing good cricket, they will have the home ground advantage but if history repeats then England will be the runner up again. My prediction is that England will fail to pass the Semi final.

I think England will perform well, but I do agree with your statement that England might not reach the finals. Instead, it could be New Zealand or South Africa in my opinion.

Imagine Bangladesh reaching the finals. That would be insane.

I don't think Bangladesh is a balanced team yet although they have some very good cricketers. May be in future they will have a chance. For Bangladesh I think 2nd round is enough or may be the quarter final.

Hey Royse, why have you bet on Srilanka? I would never do this because their current performance is poor. The test matches were some kind of bad luck for South Africa, I think.
