ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[|MINER|]

In the end, it was a very closely contested series. Rain interruption added to the drama and Australia emerged as the winners. But England had a lot of positives to take away. They fielded a very young squad, with a lot of players in their early 20s. Their performance bodes well for them in the future. On the other hand, Australia fielded a very ageing squad, and especially the bowlers were not in great form. Despite the series win, a lot of questions will be asked to the team and also to the selectors.

Are you talking about the last match between Australia versus England ? Then I will say that even then if there was no rain there were also high chance of winning Australian team. Because they also did great performance in that match. The way they played in that match in my opinion I think they will easily touch the target and the target wasn't at that amount which cannot be touch especially for the Australian team. Anyway we had a great innings to see in this series lucky England won two match.

Most of the people here were rooting for England, and England played well.  But Australia's win was really interesting and great, although this series was very competitive between the two teams till the last moment, Australia team won the series for DLS. Anyway, both the teams in the match performed very well, but due to the rain, England's chances were further reduced. Travis Head got off to a great start, and they batted a lot early on, which led to Australia winning the series. But Australia must be congratulated that although they had a poor performance in two matches, they showed their strong performance in the last match.

I agree with your statement. Match could be change and we could see good bowling in middle overs but DLD method can't predict that because that is only calculation and AI . But human mind don't believe that the situation of last match of Australia could be the same as empires showed that . England team gave good target and they were eligible to win this series but rain interrupted and they could not win this series but I Know actually the winner of that series is only England team because they are quality played and they always try to win every series and they did not lose heart in any match and that is big reason of their success.England bowlers could bend the match to their sides but the result was different due to rain and DLS method.

What a decider between England and Australia ongoing at the moment. On one hand, it looks like Australia will cruise to a series win while it looks like England can pull things back in their favor through successive wickets on the other hand.

I bet on England since the odds were extremely favorable even though it looks like they will lose this match and series. Also, why Inglis instead of Carey? Weird!

Edit: Looks like I lost my bet thanks to the annoying rain interruption. Anyway, congratulations Australia as expected.

Sad to hear you lost your bets. England would have had some chances if it hadn't rained, but the rains blew away all chances. But Australia batted brilliantly, especially early on, if Travis Head and Matthew Short had not been aggressive, the DLS system might not have led the run-rate. However, Australia eventually won the series. Best wishes to Australia for winning this very competitive series.

Australia used a good strategy here, they tried to hold on to as many wickets as they could in anticipation of rain. If England could have restricted Australia to a few more runs, on the contrary, if they had picked up one more wicket, the result would have gone in England's favour. However, in this series we saw a tough competition between England and Australia, as England did not give Australia much of a chance as England toured Australia and won the ODI series in a tough contest. If the fifth ODI match was abandoned for some reason, then the ODI series would have been inconclusive just like the T20 series.
