T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[pakhitheboss]

Indian team is struggling atm and in last 5 overs Aussie took 3 wickets and gave only 25 runs, run rate is under 7.

LOL! Australia destroyed in the first T20. They could not even chase a small score, Indians dominated the second half of the match. Australia won the toss and thought they would easily destroy Indian bowling, they tried their level. Actually, they still struggle to play spinners in their own field and that is why Yuzvendra Chahal took 3 wickets just for 25 and was declared the man of the match. Now, after this match, you will see spinners being introduced in the early stages of the match.

Justin Langer and Finch looked pissed when Chahal came as a concussion replacement for Jadeja.   Well it turned out Chahal did turn thing for India today. We are going to see some concussion substitute debate in the cricketing world.

Now Jadeja should get man of the match award and Chahal should receive the award as replacement.

Edit : Lol i guess its first time in the cricket history, where replacement player winning the MOM.

Concussion substitute option is just another one in the list of retarded innovations from the ICC. There should be additional terms to make sure that the teams doesn't use it for their advantage. In the end, it was like India was playing with 12 players against an 11-member Australia. And if Jadeja had bowled his 4 overs instead of Chahal, Australia probably could have won the match.

Yeah, Australian 11 players have played against 12 from India. I think these rules of ICC need to be amended. Chahal bowled just great. He took 3 wickets with only 25 runs in 4 overs. On the other hand, Jadeja has batted very well. It was mainly because of him that India managed to collect a score of 161 runs. If Jadeja had done 4 overs then maybe the result of the match could have been different. Jadeja is not a good bowler like Chahal.

Also, I have a feeling that Jadeja has been rested for the remaining matches, in order to quell the controversy. Justin Langer (Australian coach) was very animated when he was informed that Chahal has been named as the substitute. He had lengthy arguments with the officials. But in the end, India just made use of the loophole, and Australia could do nothing about it.

ICC is fond of creating weird rules so as a cricket enthusiast we can't do anything about it but overall it was a good performance and I didn't had time to watch the match. IPL is helping the India's T20 performance to get better and better but long format is more important in international cricket than T20.

To me, it seemed unfair. How Chahal is the replacement for Jadeja? Jadeja is a batsman or all-rounder. Although he is an all-rounder, but he has not been bowling for some time. But Chahal is a bowler. India could have replaced Jadeja with a batsman or an all-rounder. The replacement of Jadeja and Chahal did not seem balanced to. me

When rules allows them to do then no one can stop them such kind of swaps which maybe unfair but who bet on India yesterday feels that their luck is also a reason for such incident.

[Little Mouse]

When did the rule get implemented? I had no idea about it and I was a bit surprised to see the swap. Can someone give me a reference link to this? I thought players are only allowed to play such swap in warm up matches only.

As far as i remember it was implemented last year during the Ashes. Warm up games are different ball game, teams are allowed to use 14-15 players back to back if they need more practice.

Similar to concussion replacement now ICC considering Covid-19 substitutes as well (Like for Like players only) This rule might get green signal from the upcoming series next month (Eng vs WI). Nothing wrong with the proactive approach.

COVID-19 substitutes under ICC consideration

Currently, substitutes are only allowed in Test cricket in the event a player suffers a concussion, when he can be replaced by a like-for-like player. Marnus Labuschange became Test cricket's first concussion substitute when he replaced Steve Smith in Australia's team during the Lord's Test last summer after Smith was hit by a Jofra Archer bouncer.

However, the ICC are now looking at whether to extend the scope of the measure to cover any player who develops symptoms of COVID-19 during a match. Although the ECB are finalising the medical protocols that would be followed in such a scenario, the player would be isolated immediately while tested and then removed from the rest of the game to isolate if they tested positive.

COVID-replacements are certainly something that the ICC are discussing," Elworthy told Sky Sports' The Cricket Show. "I have seen communication about that and it's certainly something we hope would be allowed - specifically for Test matches, not necessarily ODIs or T20s.

Anyone following the LPL ?  Dambulla Viiking scored a massive 207 runs in 20 overs and look like they will win this match against Galle Gladiators
easily.  110 runs partnership between the openers Tharanga and Dickwella was treat to watch.

I am watching this match but believe me this is not a one sided match as you told us. Even though  DV scored a giant score, the GG are playing well here and look like they will win it if they do not lose quick wickets. They have a perfect platform to accelerate now with 8 wickets still intact. Gladiators did not win any match in this series but this might be the turnaround for them.

Even i felt that the main difference was the inclusion of Yuzvendra Chahal instead of Jadeja which i thought will not be bowling and India will be having a bowler short but the substitute is a major setback and no wonder Justin Langer was not happy with the way it was implemented. Bad day for Australia and India bowled well picking wickets when needed and the fielders held to the catches.

[vella85]

I think after what happened in the first T20 match that Australia will come out firing. Australia will need to improve on the batting middle order and get some partnerships together as this is what let them down in the first match after getting off to a great start. It was India's bowlers got the job done at vital stages of the game even though there was that substitute that basically changed the game but we move on now and I think Australia will bounce back.

Jadeja will not be playing today's match. I am sure India will be missing him greatly as his contribution in the last match was the reason why India was able to put a score of 161. Chahal is playing today's match. Google's probability score states both team have 50/50 chance of winning this match. This mean today's match is must watch one and would be very close.

Anyone can tell me if this India Australia series is telecast live in Pakistan and if so, on which channel ?
PTV Sports (Pakistan National Sports Television) is not covering this series but covering LPL and also will cover South Africa / England series .

You can watch these matches on Sony and Ten Sports if these channels are broadcasted in your country. I can see Pakistan in the below listed countries.

TV Guide: Sony Six, Sony TEN 1, and Sony TEN 3 to broadcast live coverage of India v Australia three-match One-Day International (ODI), three-match T20 International (T20I), and four-match Test series in India and its subcontinent (Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Maldives, and Bhutan) countries; all matches streamed live in the Indian subcontinent on SonyLiv digital platform (Website, App). Sony Pictures Sports Networks India (SPNI) has bagged exclusive telecast rights for International matches played in Australia; they also acquired OTT (Audio, Video, and other media services via the internet) right.

India won the toss and sent Australia to bat and they started really well. I am surprised that India is resting players like Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, may be they have the confidence to win matches without them but no idea whey they are not in the team and with Jadeja injured Yuzvendra Chahal   is the replacement.

Edit:
Australia lost the first wicket.

I bet on Australia today. In the previous match too, I was bet on Australia, and lost. After 12.4 overs, Australia scored 121 runs by losing 2 wickets. There are still great batsmen like Smith, Maxwell Henriques and Soinis. I would expect Australia to be able to target India more than 190 runs today.

Is this the sign of match fixing and also to make the series level 1-1   

There is no way India should rest the two main pace bowlers in this all important match.

Bumrah taking rest for Test series and so far Shami looked out of the rhythm according to his own reputation and In last game new bowlers did well so Indian team can afford to rest him as well.

---
Australia should touch at least 190-195ish from here, they don't have their main bowlers. Although plenty of options in bowling but adding extra cushion for bowlers is not a bad option.

[Iranus]

Australia's innings is over. They have scored 194 runs in 20 overs. They gave India a target of 195 runs. I think that's enough. Today's Australia can easily win if the Australian bowlers can perform well. The required run rate for India is 9.75. It will not be easy for India.
