Cricket match prediction discussions

[JSRAW]

Did they announce the team for 20-20? I didn't find any details.

I didn't get any update till now. Newzealand all rounder Neesham will be missing because of his injury. I think it's a big loss for Kiwi team. He was in form too.
By the way, I don't think there will be a big change in Srilankan team for t20 than ODI. Almost all of them will be played in t20 too.

Thanks, went through cricbuzz quickly. Softy -Mitchell Santner- making comeback after his knee injury  he's handy all-rounder like Neesham so kiwis shouldn't worry much.

Special mention to team management.

I thought you used to hate them? changing sides now lol  
.

I don't hate them as a person or group but I do despise their spineless act and baseless rigidness when selecting a team. only because of this we lost Test series in SA and Eng.

But here they at least made the necessary changes when needed so more power to them and hope they will select team based only on Merits Only.

India Pakistan fight here too? 

Anyway, I always learn that Pakistan is an unpredictable team. Who thought that they will win 2017 ICC Champions Trophy Final? But they did? India is much more predictable. They have consistency. But when it comes to Australia then you can not just say that you gonna win.

ODI series will be interesting to see. My bet is for India though.

Indo-Pak wars history:

No.1: Indo-Pak War of 1947 (on Kashmir and Jammu)
No.2: Indo-Pak War of 1965 (on Operation Gibraltar)
No.3: Indo-Pak War of 1971 (on Bangladesh)
No.4: Indo-Pak War of 1999 (on Kargil)
No.5: Indo-Pak War of 2019 (on Bitcointalk's "Cricket match predictions discussions")

 

Fighting here is a lot better than fighting against eachother in border. we can save lots of innocent life, we can save our sanity if we choose to fight like this instead of bullets.

Oh man, can you remember the first t20 final? How the hell Pakistan did play? I was supporting India and gave up the match. I had forgotten India was playing with Pakistan- the most unpredictable team, lol.

Yes mate I am also expecting the positive side of India team against Australia in odi series, I am now that Indian team have good batting lineup and bowling attacks but Indian team have to setup a good opening batsman to get great start let's see who the Australian team doing this odi series.

And what about Jugindar Shwarma. I would like credit Dhoni and Jugindar Shwarma much. You know this was a tough decision for Dhoni to push Jugindar there but he made it. I was like what the fuck Dhoni is doing. And when Jugindar Delivered a wide ball, I thought India was going to lose the match. But hey, Jugindae did a good delivery later.
And yeah the misbah also put some contribution, lol.

I see Indo-Pak has a long history of war and war but I also see finally they are doing something together.

Indeed bro and please  pass the msz to pakistan team that we don't want to see pakistan beating india in any world cup atleast in next 50 year or so. One champion trophy defeat is enough.

And what about Jugindar Shwarma. I would like credit Dhoni and Jugindar Shwarma much. You know this was a tough decision for Dhoni to push Jugindar there but he made it.

Anyway, well done Indian Team. Record is a record.

no one will remember who played.

True! You summed it up all beautifully. after 20-30 years, no one going to remember who played in this test series. except for the result.

Everyone forgot What happened in 2007-08 series and moved on.

I'm sorry to say but I don't agree with this, in 20-30 years from now I still think people will remember that one of the best batsman in the world at the time of this test series in Smith wasn't playing for Australia and that one of the best opening batsman in the world Warner was also not playing. Don't forget that this ball tampering from the three Australian guys will always be remembered due to it was the biggest thing to happen in Australian cricket so I believe everyone will remember that in this test series where India beat Australia on home soil that two of Australia's best batsman were not playing. Like I have been saying if they were playing it would of been a different story and the series would of been a lot closer then it was.

I totally agree with that. This test series between Australia and India was completely tasteless without Warner and Smith. India might succeed again in winning the upcoming ODI series against Australia, but for the Indian team, that should not be something to be *very* proud of.

Indians have a lot to cheer about in context of this series. It was not that tasteless for Indian or every cricket fan around the world for the following reasons.

1. Mayank Agarwal: Debutant faces the likes of Starc and shows in a foreign condition that he can bat no matter who is the opposition and he's here for a long run. time will tell how he transforms his test career. it depends on him.

2. Hanuma Vihari: Numbers don't support him but he has only 4 test under his cap and this guy showed grit and intent when facing English bowler in England and same here in Australia when given chance or throw under the bus (responsibility to open, according to team's requirement).

3. Rishab Pant: He is my fav youngest player in this Indian team along with Prithvi Shaw. I have been following him since under 19 world cup 2016 and let me tell you he's a very destructive player. his average is almost 50 in test despite throwing his wicket with the loose shot but he played only 9 Test match, made 2 centuries in Eng and Aus and missed 2 in India by playing loose shots. so he will learn from here and with more games, his wicketkeeping and batting will improve. no one can deny that his last inning in England and Australia was a good treat for every cricket fan.

Not including Indian Fast Bowlers.

Alright, guys, the Indian fans took it way too serious, so I'm taking my words back; the series was not tasteless. I should've said, "the series would've tasted better if Warner and Smith were playing."

The only thing I'm afraid of is the possible "over-confidence" of Virat Kohli in upcoming matches and series; it can prove to be very bad for the Indian cricket team.

Good luck Indian team (and fans) with all the upcoming matches!

Yes I think some are taking it too seriously while we have been pointing out that the series would of been a lot different if Smith, Warner and Bancroft were playing. I have praised Kohli and the Indian team on the series win however they didn't beat a full strength Australia team and when you play one of the best teams on home soil you want to beat the best team and Australia didn't have their best team out there playing.

Aussies mayn't have all the strongest players but still I feel the T20 and ODI will be difficult for Indians to win on Aussie pitch . Remember when Sachin , Sehwag , Laxman , Dravid all left we felt Indian team doesn't have experienced players but they still made their way through with young team .

That's because of the one man army. Dhoni made it. He know how to play with such a young team. No one can deny that. When Sachin Sehwag left, I expected a huge bad season for India but they played still well as you mentioned. Dhoni has the power of maintaining a situation whatever it is and that's why he is called Mr. Cool, lol.

Well India have Kohli now. My opinion is that Kohli is a brand for the world cricket. As a captain he may not as good as Dhoni but he is not very less as well. India still is a very good team to beat anyone in ODI even my guess is that they may win this world cup too.

Good luck India.

I don't believe it's fair to compare India's ex captain Dhoni, and their current captain Kohli as these two are different sides of the same coin while the former one is gentle, the latter is aggressive. I do believe team India are high on confidence, they just won their first ever test series in Australia but their all rounder Pandya has caused lot of unnecessary distraction for the team. I feel if team India is chasing they'll win as they have players who love to chase and finish, but if they're batting first then I would consider Australia favourites as their bowllers will put pressure on team Indias batsmen.

Right , I heard that the two superstars of Indian cricketer ( Rahul and Pandya) have been suspended for two weeks and also have been banned to participate in non-cricket shows . It was unnecessary if you ask me , now they gotto focus on their career more since very few people get these chances.

I have seen the episode and did not really found the KL Rahul ban was justified. Yes when they are representing India they should be more sensible and mature and  do not get so much carried away that they forget the rest of the things. This might just be the caution to the rest of the players when they go to any of the chat show now.

Today is the first ODI match between Australia and India. India are currently the favourites to win this first ODI and the series but I wouldn't count Australia out as its a completely new look team for the ODI series with only a few of players from the test team playing. I'm surprised to see that Strac isn't playing in this first match and instead they have called up the veteran in Peter Siddle who has been in top form in the Big Bash League.

Australia choose to bat and lost Aaron Finch earlier. Although it's 9 over now, I don't think it will be a big score from Australia. They wouldn't be able to make 300 possibly by this team and anything below 300 will be an easy win for India, I guess. Anyway, I expect to have a competitive match, not like the test matches.

[vella85]

India are in big trouble losing 3 wickets in the first few overs for only 18 runs. Dhoni will need to bat well to get India out of trouble and try and get as close to the Australian target as he can. India need 289 to win the match but it looks like it could be a tough ask right now. India at one stage were 3 wickets for just 4 runs, Kohli only made 3 runs.
