Bad luck for Finch. Missed the century. He got out at 93. Khawaja is at 100 now. Maxwell seems to be blast today. Svored 31 from just 16 deliveries. A big score is easier from current situation. This match will be interesting one since India will bat later and they play better at chasing. Let's see how it goes today.

Khawaja was dismissed in a soft manner, but he played an awesome innings to set a big total for Australia. Maxwell seems to be going berserk currently.

At this point, I am expecting Australia to post 320 on the scoreboard which India will most likely chase down successfully in my opinion.

It should be more but now it turned that they will be able to make 320. Right now 293 for 5 after 48 overs. I too hope that India will successfully chase it.

Some short of it they scored 313 in 50 overs for the loss of five wickets but as you said India have the batting line up to chase any score and it looks like a batting pitch so the chasing will be much more interesting guys.

India pulled it back brilliantly. At one point, it looked like Australia would score 350+ thanks to Maxwell. The Dhoni+Jadeja run out of Maxwell was insane.

India need to form big partnerships in order to win this one.

Where is our Oz friend @vella85 ?

It Friday vella you must be enjoying this fine evening with beers and some early wickets of India

Another great knock by Virat Kohli. I was an early fan of hin and now getting more addicted to his cricket. Bad luck that India possibly lose this match. 85 required from 56 balls but only with 4 wickets remaining. It's risky and India have less chance to win.

I know right , this ups his count of centuries and it seems like he is going to beat Sachin record of 100 international centuries . Well atleast the loss for India keeps this series alive and interesting , good match overall .

If India solely depend on Virat Kohli to perform every time they go on to bat it wont be enough to win the world cup, the fielding was horrible and they leaked more runs and missed a few chances in the out field, he could overtake Sachin as the top scorer in ODI and could very well score 100 international centuries but being a team sport i would like to see other contribution, what i have noticed is that, India always looses in flat wickets.

Just because too much batting lineup but failed to make the right combination of players for the each spot.I think India need to reconsdier the spot of no.4 batsman where they lost the rythm of match even,when two openers gone for few runs the next two batsman need to steady the match even if they are not scoring any runs which is what missing from Rayudu.

I missed today's match but again India had their betting disaster like the last match. They lost last 3 wickets in only 7 balls. If I am not mistaken then in the last match they also lost very quick last few wickets or they could add up more 20 - 30 runs.

India's lower order betting line up need some focus. Every run is important in big matches.

Today Indian team have really bad luck because of they have to win the match but in first few over Australia did very well and get queck wikets and finally Indian team loss match today, let's see the next match if Australia wins the series will be be come more interesting.

[vella85]

About time we saw the Australian opening batsman score some runs. Its been a long time since we have seen an Australian opening partnership of 100+ runs before losing a wicket. Finch played well and was unlucky not to score a century, Khawaja innings was perfect and they really helped set up Australia for that big total. What an amazing innings by Kohli scoring another century in ODI's making it his 41st century however it wasn't enough to get his team over the line. The next ODI will be interesting as Australia can equal the series with a win or India can win the series.

2nd Test between Bangladesh vs NZ delayed due to rain. Actually, the weather is so bad that toss didn’t happened & hoping to be tomorrow there will be nice  condition.Bangladesh is behind of NZ at 1-0.  

2nd day has been stumped without a single delivery. Even the toss was not taken place. It was a huge rain. Bad luck for Bangladesh. They promised to come back   and play better from the previous match.

Just because too much batting lineup but failed to make the right combination of players for the each spot.I think India need to reconsdier the spot of no.4 batsman where they lost the rythm of match even,when two openers gone for few runs the next two batsman need to steady the match even if they are not scoring any runs which is what missing from Rayudu.

Did Rayudu play aggressive? I don't think so. Even Dhoni also played steady. We must aporeciate Australian bowlers here. They did very well yesterday other than Kohli's century.

I didn't said he played aggressive,but you can see Kohli who played steady even while the wickets are falling so rayudu might be supported him from other end and blocking his wicket from falling it will change the course of that match after few overs but it happened,might be we will see someone replacing the place of Rayudu at the next match.

You are underestimating the Indian team way too much, aren't you? This is the same team that destroyed Australia and New Zealand in their own backyards earlier this year.

Also, they need 1 more win to win the current series against Australia which is why they are the hot favorites to lift the world cup this year. 1 match does not describe the entire story.

People are too quick to react. The current Indian team is one of the most balanced team than anyone else. The only team can be very close to them is the English team. So I do not see much worry about this Indian team.

I don't know why people keep saying Virat Kohli or Dhoni are the performer. They have Sharma, Dhawan, Rayudu, Kuldeep Yadav, Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar and many more great players. People just do not understand that there are reason for these players to be in the squad.

There are some finest cricket in the world now.

What you are telling is true, even India won last two match without Virat kohli playing well, so it is fully team work. If all match straight forward India will win then the fun of the series will be lost so to keep interesting India have to lose the match.

I disagree. Still it's fun to see your team is winning if you are India team fan.

Remember there used to be a time when Ricky Ponting was Australian captain and Australia was unbeaten for a marathon time? Ask an Australian if they were bored to see it? I do not think they will ever say that we were bored to see our team is winning.

They were unsung players for India,most of the time team can only win if the team performing so if India doing it means they were playing cricket as a team,Kohli might looks best on scoring runs but no one can win on cricket by just scoring runs other two important factors might is important to win a match.

Bumrah is the number 1 bowler right now and in the coming years I don't think that will change . He will make a great name in the likes of Brett Lee , Johnson , Steyn . Above all he has a great attitude too , he is calm and has lats of tricks in the bag.

Bumrah is a good bowler, no doubt but it will not be wise to compare him with Brett Lee, Johnson, Steyn (my opinion). You know they are kind of legend. Specially Lee and Steyn. But Bumrah might a best bowler for current situation because the world now has the lack of a legend bowlers. From my early days of watching cricket, I used to see bowlers like Mcgrath, Shoib Akhtar, Shane Warne, Muttiya, Brett Lee, Chaminda Vaas. But now I can't see a bowler like them.
