ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

Today we watch much better and organised South Africa as first they done very good job in batting and now have very competitive and good fielding and bowling right now South Africa controlling match Australia is out of match after few quick wickets now its very tough for them to  handle Ngidi and Shamsi as both leading home team for first ODI win.

It was a dominant performance by South Africa, Heinrich Klaasen was the player that made the difference as South Africa was able to put a good total on the board so that they could put pressure on the Australian batsman and the South African bowlers especially Ngidi bowled really well and picked up wickets at regular intervals. After seeing the T20 series i did not expect a performance like this from South Africa especially when they lost Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma within the first 10 overs.

1st ODI between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh has started at Sylhet. Bangladesh winning the toss have decided to bat first. Liton das is on fire and batting at 62 in 56 balls and has played some magnificent shots in this innings so far. They are 105/1 in 20 overs and Zimbabwe bowlers were not hat effective in the first 10 overs bowling wise. Zimbabwe require some quick wickets to be back in the game.

Awesome performance by South Africa, Australia being the favourite were destroyed by the Africans. They played as team and perfomed on all levels. Australians were struggling from the beginning. Two more matches to go with SA leading by 1-0.

An all round performance by SA team has lead to this superb win over OZ. And due to which they were able to beat OZ by 74 runs margin which itself is an achievement for them. SA will have to maintain this balance in coming matches so that they can win series as well. Klassen was his 123 not out innings was named man of the match.

Don't read too much in to this win. Apart from a few individual performances, South Africa still looks like a weakened squad. They were in trouble earlier on, but the partnership between Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller made the difference, with another good knock from Kyle Verreynne. Let's see whether they will be able to maintain the momentum.

For Australia, their middle order failed for the umpteenth time. This time it was Mitchell Marsh/Carey/Short.

Linton Das was retired hurt at 126 runs, Mithun in the end played 50 runs innings which helped Bangladesh to score 321/6 in 50 overs. In reply Zimbawe have started very poor and have lost quick 4 wickets for a just 66 runs in 19.4. Now, it seems quite impossible for them to score another 255 runs with average of 8.55 runs an over from here.

Sri Lanka posted a decent total of 307 runs and West Indies started really good and the openers gave a really good start without loosing any wicket and if they can put partnership like that they can avoid a white wash and win the match. Sri Lanka started really well and they were poised to make a huge score with the way they were batting but West Indies started picking up wickets in the later part of the innings and that is how they were settled for 307 runs.

SL's almost batsman today has contributed with the bat and helped the team to reach 307 runs in 50 overs. In response, WI have started very strongly and just lost their 1st wicket. they are now 113/1 in 19.1 overs. The match is equally poised and if WI have wickets in hand they can clinch this match. It is going to be wickets that matter here if WI lose it SL will win the match as it would add more pressure on coming batsman.

What a superb match being witnessed between WI vs SL , where the way WI started seemed that it should be an easy chase and in later on SL pulled the wickets and in last Allen fast paced innings of 37 in 15 balls almost bought WI to victory but wickets kept falling on other end and as a result SL pulled back the match on their side and won it by 6 runs . It was a real roller coaster ride both teams have gone through in the match .

West Indies once again proved that apart from the T20 format, they can't compete against quality sides in international cricket. They have some of the best T20 players in the world. No T20 franchise league is complete without the West Indian players. But this overemphasis on T20 has taken a toll on the ODI and test formats. They are losing even to weak sides such as Afghanistan in the other formats.

West Indies had a really good start with century opening partnership and then loosing the match is just a big mess they have to sort out, Angelo Mathews played an important role in the match with his bowling picking up wickets at regular intervals to put pressure back on West Indies and it is a good performance by Sri Lanka. The problem with West Indies is that majority of the players are tailor made for T20 who could smack the ball a long way and this West Indies team lacked Andre Russel nor Gayle
even though he is 40 he could make a difference if he keeps going, West Indies needs to find young talents rather than relying on really old players.

Yes bro west indies has got a solid start from opening partnership score and I thought that when they are in 218/3 for 40 overs, west indies can easily chaise the target. But last 10 overs change the match because of great bowling performances from Sri Lankan and they can win the odi series with 3_0.

ICC needs to open its eyes. Every year, close to 12 million USD is send to the Zimbabwe Cricket Board by the ICC. And most of this amount get stolen and the quality of cricket in Zimbabwe continues to decline. At the same time, promising sides such as Nepal and Malaysia are struggling due to the lack of funds. My advice is to suspend Zimbabwe for an infinite period of time, and distribute the funds among the associate nations.

Another ODI series is coming up or should i say another pointless series for India. It might be helpful if BCCI plan some T-20 games ahead of WC instead of 50 over cricket or give some break to players, their schedule is ridiculously packed.

South Africa tour of India

1st ODI - 12 March
2nd ODI- 15 March
3rd ODI - 18 March

Rohit not playing due to his injury and Virat is also taking break from ODI. Word is one of them (KL Rahul or Shreyas Iyer) might lead India against the SA.

This would be good opportunity for these two players. I think K L Rahul has more chance of leading the team. Prithvi Shaw will again get a chance, I am sure he will be replacing Rohit shetty as an opener.

If it was that easy to do ICC would have done that already, i think they have cut short the funding and degraded their status recently, it is not that easy to claim that the funds are stolen just like that, either you need some evidence to substantiate the proof to completely stop the funding, if not it will be against the contract they have, i guess they have a contract with the Zimbabwe cricket board regarding the funds.

Bangladesh lost two wickets because of their sloppy running between the wickets but Tamim Iqbal is still in the crease approaching his century against Zimbabwe and if they are able to score over 280 runs it will be a tough chase for Zimbabwe.

Bangladesh after winning the toss decided to bat against Zimbawe and the opener Tamin played one of the best innings of his life by making 158 runs. This has helped the team to reach 297/5 in 46 overs. If Mithun can stay till 50 overs then Bangladesh can aim for 335+ runs easily and would be a good score to defend.

With the sudden increase of suspected coronavirus cases in india, I doubt this tournament will happen. In just two day more than 6 new cases have been detected. Till yesterday it was two.
