ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[TheGreatPython]

Really, what was this match? Neither team could score almost anything in this match. Australia scored 195 and when I thought New Zealand might have a chance, they got all out for almost 80. This was not what was expected. At least I did not expect that. Australia has won the series. They are leading 2-0 in this three-match series. Now I wonder if New Zealand will be able to do anything in the final match. But at the same time, I also expect Australia to try out new things. So New Zealand might actually have a chance.

A shocking result from both sides specially from New Zealand side as they are completely down and out from quality cricket with this performance they can't imagine having any positive thing is going to happen to them in near future they are currently the worst side in all formats even have many quality players in their squad.

As they bowled out Australia at figure of 195 there were feelings they will win, and we are going to have a good challenge in third and final ODI, but suddenly things were out of way, and they all bowled out for just 82 which is not acceptable at this level from them Starc and Zampa are giving best for home team even they are also needs few changes but still manageable at home.

Yes you are right. New Zealand and Australia game will be a very tight fight.  I think maybe New Zealand will win this match. Because of that New Zealand players play a bit better.  If Australia try to play well then nothing can be said until the match is over.  Both teams will try hard to win the match.  So we have to wait to see who can win the match.

It is very difficult to predict which team will win this match. Although Australia dominated both matches, it was not easy for them to win after that. New Zealand's batsmen did not play well in the two matches. But they have the ability. As they have been defeated in two matches, they will no doubt try hard to win the match in the last match. I think New Zealand will win the last match.

I think it is up to me whether New Zealand can do anything like that now.  If they try to play a little bit better then they can do it. They will have to struggle a lot for that. But I think batting and bowling both play an equal role in winning a match for a team.  I think so.  I think Australia and New Zealand are two very strong teams.  Both teams have good batting and bowling.

At the moment, New Zealand and Australia teams are almost equal in quality. Both teams have a lot of talented and experienced players. New Zealand lost the first two matches. The main reason for this was the performance of their batsmen was not good. Australia set a target of only 196 runs in the second match. Still New Zealand could not win. If the New Zealand batsmen can play well in the third match, they will win. But if the batsmen are not able to play well in the last match then Australia will win the last match easily. But my guess is that New Zealand will come back in the truck in the last match.

New Zealand and Australia can perform very well in both teams.We have seen Australia and New Zealand play before but they can put up a great performance.Especially Australia at one time but a lot of discussion and cricket they could shape in their own hands.Currently, Australia may not be as good as it used to be, but still it can perform fairly well But let's see how well they can perform on the field.

Yes, you are right, once Australia was a very good team, but they can't play games like they used to.  But I think if they still hope to do well then I think it is still possible for them.  It will be seen in the match.  I think the match will be a tight fight.  After the two teams fight, whoever can play better will win the match.

Even now Australia have got good players, but they weren't able to give the consistent performance same as the team under the Captaincy of Australia. Nowadays every team have started to progress well. Coming to the ongoing ODI series against New Zealand, it is already a win for Australia. The third match seems like a win for New Zealand, because they'll try to get out of the whitewash.

lets talk about Afghanistan and Srilanka too
And what has happened after Afghanistan and Pakistan match was very strength - the abuse on the ground and the fight in the stadium was very alarming.

Why do you want to talk about T20Is while this thread is not for T20Is? You are welcome if you want to talk about any ODI match here. A different thread is available for the T20I discussion; you are already aware of that. So, I would suggest not doing such a discussion since there is a more accurate thread for your topic.

The next series within the 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League is going to be between India and South Africa (hosted by India). It is going to be extremely important for South Africa. They need to win at least one match to keep their hope of qualification alive (two wins would be even better). After this series, they will be touring Australia for 3 ODIs. So a total of 6 ODIs, and they need at least 3 wins. I am skeptical about this, but given the poor form from Australia, there is a chance. Anyway, we need to wait until March 2023 to find out who will directly qualify for the ODI World Cup.

New Zealand's performance is not satisfactory. They have lost two matches by a vast distance. They will play the last match of this ODI series tomorrow. In the last match, New Zealand will try to give the maximum effort to win the match. But it will be difficult as Australia are in form at the moment and the players are quite self depended they have the ability to finish from the bottom.

The problem is South Africa has been way behind from the beginning. There is going to be a lot of difficulty on their part in covering up this lack of performance. I am also skeptical about the performance that South Africa is going to be able to provide. If we look at the upcoming competitions in South Africa, we will see that they will not be facing any easy opponents. There is no doubt that South Africa is a very capable team, but this time it seems like they have their work cut out for them. There is no doubt that they are a capable team that is capable of getting three victories. But against Australia, it is not going to be easy at all.

New Zealand's quality is going down badly recently in all formats which is the biggest concern for them at the moment after winning WTC final against India in England now they are consistently losing matches and series and won only against teams like Ireland and West Indies which is surely big concern for them as they need to be aggressive and well skilled for next WTC tenure after going down badly in this season and things are surely wired because they have enough quality bowlers and batsmen as well, but sadly they are not winning matches which is surely mentality which needs to be positive and changed because with current situation they can't do anything positive which is very important for them.

Now in recent time, they have good advantage with native players many South Africans are also migrating for the better future in this game which is surely going to help them with improved quality and better skilled players are very important for them as well.

New Zealand have been performing well in cricket for a long time but in recent times there seems to be some changes in their performance. They are win less in the current series so far. But the cricketing world does not expect such a bad performance from them. Although winning and losing are part of the game, lately their cricket is showing off-form to play.

I don't think that New Zealand could have performed this well, without the South African players. Imagine a New Zealand XI, without players such as Devon Conway, Glenn Phillips, Neil Wagner and Colin de Grandhomme. New Zealand is one of the major beneficiaries from the emigration of South African white players. Now with ECB abolishing the Kolpak system, these players are having fewer options and New Zealand may emerge as the first choice. And it is rumored that from 2024 onwards the ICC funds may go up by 3x to 4x. If that happens, then we can expect a larger scale migration of players to countries such as New Zealand and Australia.

New Zealand won the toss and decided to field. The pitch condition looks like today's pitch is also a bowling-friendly pitch. The decision to take the fielding seems to have been the right one. But in the previous match, New Zealand lost all wickets for just 82 runs. If the batsmen bat like that stupid, New Zealand will be defeated today too.

New Zealand's bowlers started the innings well. At the end of 7 overs Australia collected only 16 runs, Australia lost two wickets of Inglis and Finch. But if Australia manage to score 200 runs today I think they will win

Australia has already won the series. I am expecting Newzealand to come back in this match and not allow Australia to end this series as a whitewash against them. Highly disappointed by NZ's performance in this series just before the T20WC. After this match the next time these two teams will play against each other would be on 22nd of Oct 2022.

[YinShuiSiYuan]

I think the Australian team is going through a very bad time.  And loose against Zimbabwe is also a proof of that.  But now I think the pressure is little decrease they have won two out of three ODI matches with New Zealand.  But today, Australia went into bat against New Zealand and managed to score only 19 runs in the first power play, with losing 2 wickets . This match is still not predictable but if New Zealand can continue like this then I think they will have more win probability in terms of match prediction.

In last ODI Aus scored 195 runs and still manage to win the game, thanks to batting of lower order starc, zampa and hazlewood. These three now only take the score to 195 but also manage to destroy the NZ batting lineup. Today Aus are 55/2 in 20 overs and it seems like it will be a low scoring game today.

New Zealand won the toss and decided to bowl. The start looked good with two early wickets. Further Smith and Labuschagne have withstood the situation and started to develop partnership. The runrate is low, but they're on the stable scoring. At the end of 24 overs Australia have scored 73/2 which is good considering the early wickets of 16/2

It will be another low scoring game like the last one. After 25 over Australia are 81/2, smith and Labuschagne have partnership of 65 runs and they have turned the game in favour of Aus. If Aus can enter last 10 overs with 6 to 7 wickets in hands then they can easily score somewhere around 225 to 250.

Australians are very much complacent in the match right now and they will end up making a good total. Also Australians have lost only three wickets and this means they have players to hit the bowl hard at the depth.
Australians have already won the series 2-0 and all of those were easy wins for them. This win will make them a clean sweep on their home ground.

Lol Zimbabwe won, this should give them some confidence and will surely help in the climb up at the ranking table.

Kind of bizarre to see an Aussie scorecard, that's some epic collapse in the same match where 1 batter scored 94 runs for the team and the rest of the team contributed only 38 runs, 3rd best scorer was Extras 9 runs.  

It was a holly molly moment when Zimbabwe scored the winning run and that too against a strong Australian side. Ryan Burl single handedly orchestrated the Australian collapse in the middle order and he took two catches in the outfield and picked up 5 wickets and then when Zimbabwe was struggling chasing the score he contributed with the bat as well and once in a lifetime moment for him .

I think the Australian team is going through a very bad time.  And loose against Zimbabwe is also a proof of that.  But now I think the pressure is little decrease they have won two out of three ODI matches with New Zealand.  But today, Australia went into bat against New Zealand and managed to score only 19 runs in the first power play, with losing 2 wickets . This match is still not predictable but if New Zealand can continue like this then I think they will have more win probability in terms of match prediction.

There is no telling which team will win until the game is over.  Australia vs New Zealand, 3rd ODI Australia is now batting in this game.  He has lost 3 wickets so far.  They scored 203 runs in 44 overs.  Steven Smith played very well scoring 105 off 130 balls.  If New Zealand can bat the ball then the match will be a beautiful game.
