ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[JSRAW]

It tells you more about lack of emerging talent in Aussie ODI camp. After Smith not many batters are claiming his number 3 position, Marnus was supposed to replace him as he was doing exceptionally well in test cricket but he also lost form in red ball and it's showing in ODI as well.

Big question is who can replace Marnus on number 3?

Lack of young batting talent should be a concern for Australia. I watched their U-19 team during the world cup in 2024. They had some terrific young pace bowlers, such as Callum Vidler, Mahli Beardman and Tom Straker, but the only batsman who got my attention was Sam Konstas (who is out of form right now). The Sheffield Shield is widely regarded as the best domestic competition in the world, but there also you will find hardly any batsmen in their teens, or even early 20s.

Their u-19 setup used to be heavyweight and there was a time when many players used to graduate from this very setup to seniors but that's not the case anymore and majority of young talent get lost.

Nowadays they have their own version of green mamba or simply flat ones and no inbetween competitive decks in Sheffield maybe that's why batters are running out of carrots early in their professional career.


Aus vs SA

Ladies can we bet on ODI world record, 500 runs on the board?

[Bluedrem]

The Australian batting line-up has really failed in this one-day series. Australia was a team that always scored up to 200+ in T20 games, but now in one-day games, they find it hard to reach the 200 runs mark.

Travis Head is not in form and the team should not depend on him. I think this is the end of Travis head prime form now. We will see him back in his form after 2 to 3 years as we see from every player, every prime had a downfall and every downfall had a comeback in this sport. Will this final clash between the two teams bring anything good for the Australian team and can they save the whitewash 

In the ODI format of cricket, victory or defeat cannot be decided based on the performance of one or two players. It is not only Travis Head's lack of form but also the batting failures of other Australian batsmen that have led to Australia losing to South Africa time and again. If you look at the first ODI, you will see that Mitchell Marsh batted brilliantly in that match and he scored 88 runs in that match and Josh Inglis scored 87 runs in the second ODI. Apart from them, no other batsman could score any good runs in both the matches as a result they could not surpass the runs scored by South Africa. As a result, they lost the match.
If you look at the third ODI match between South Africa and Australia, you will see that both the first two Australian batsmen are unbeaten after 31 overs, Mitchell Marsh is unbeaten on 95 runs and Travis Head is unbeaten on 122 runs. That is, Australia is moving towards a big total today due to the good performance of the two batsmen. If they can maintain the consistency of their performance so far in today's match, then it can be said that Australia is going to win the match today.

[Haunebu]

Good to see Head scoring well after a long, long time while Marsh is in the form of his life. Both played really well together and they much pretty saved their team from getting whitewashed in my opinion.

Bet on the Aussies to win this final match and it looks like I made the right call. South Africa is missing Rabada and Ngidi though.

They slowed down after Head and Marsh got out. Looks like the target will be in the 400s now. Proteas need someone like Gibbs to save them now.

[As-Soon-As]

Today, the Australian team has regained its previous momentum, because Head has performed very aggressively today. The opening pair, entering the field as an opening batsman, lasted for a long time, where Mitchell Marsh provided support and also scored a century. Due to the long-lasting partnership of the two, the subsequent batsmen must have performed without pressure. The Australian team scored 431 runs in today's match for the loss of 2 wickets, which indicates the victory of the Australian team in today's match.
Because it is almost impossible for the South African team to meet the target of 431 runs in the third ODI match. How much argument can you give in the case of the victory of the South African team?

[Bitcoin_people]

Australia played very poorly in the first two matches of the ODI series due to which they lost the series against South Africa. In the third match, Australia's performance was sky-high, they scored 431 runs for the loss of 2 wickets in 50 overs. Australia will definitely win today by a huge margin, but the series result will be a 2/1 win for South Africa. In today's match, the Australian batsmen played brilliantly in the beginning and each of the top order batsmen scored a century, due to which they collected a huge score.

[Powerjumboo]

Today, the Australian team has decided to bat at the stumps, this decision certainly points in a positive direction towards the Australian team, because in the first match and the second match, the South African team has performed batting performance from the beginning, as a result of which they have won. However, today's match can indicate the result in favor of the Australian team, because the Australian team players have started with a good performance from the beginning.
Because in any way, the Australian team must win this third match today because they have to be aggressive enough to protect their reputation. Head and Mitchell Marsh have formed the opening pair, but let's see how much role this opening batsman can play in the victory of the Australian team?

Australia performed well today, scoring 431 runs for 2 wickets in the allotted 50 overs, which I think will play a key role in today's win. After losing two consecutive ODI series, Australia may have already decided that they have to perform well today and win, but I don't know if they will be able to perform well today and win. However, it is very good to see the result of the Australian team's game today because today I saw that three out of the four batsmen scored 100+ runs. However, if Australia cannot win today, then it will be a complete failure of their luck and a failure of their bowling performance.

The runs scored by the Australian team in this match, we have seen that they could not make such a huge score in the last Test matches. The target of 431 runs in the ODI match is really impressive, it will not be possible for South Africa to meet the target in today's match. The opening batsmen of the Australian team played with patience in today's match due to which they all scored centuries. However, since South Africa won two matches in the series, they won the series, but today's match is not very important for them but important for Australia. If the third match of the series is not possible for the Australian team to win, then they will be whitewashed in the series, so they were able to give a good batting performance to win today's match, and I think the Australian team will win today's match easily.

[Bd officer]

Wow, the Australian batsmen impressed everyone, some batsmen batted in T20 style, Cameron Green scored 118 runs off 55 balls which was outstanding and his strike rate was 200+. However, Cameron Green scored his 1st century today in an international ODI match. Australia's opening batsmen both performed brilliantly, Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head put on a huge partnership of 250 runs, due to which the next batsmen batted aggressively. Now it is very difficult for any team to chase the target of 432 runs.

However, so far South Africa have collected 50 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 8 overs. Both South African opening batsmen were quickly dismissed, Aiden Markram was dismissed for 2 and Ryan Rickelton was dismissed for 11. South Africa's top order batsmen have failed, now the middle order batsmen have to do well. I think South Africa will be defeated by a big margin in this match.

[LDL]

Today Australia played their traditional cricket, especially Australia made a record against South Africa today. The highest score by an opening pair was 170 runs in 2002, but today Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh broke that record and created a new record of 250 runs. However, given the fact that Australia came out with the intention of winning today and batted aggressively, it was assumed that South Africa would not be able to win against Australia today. South Africa is in a dilemma from the start with a target of 432 runs and it is not possible for South Africa to overcome this dilemma, due to which South Africa will lose today's match by a large margin.

In the first two games, the Australian team were under performing. Today Australia scored 431 runs and lost just two wickets. We don't often see that first three players with three centuries. Finally, after some matches Travis head played in his comfort zone. And on the other end, Mitchell Marsh he is a good player and performing well overall in each matches but today he also scored century and then  Cameron Green cored 118 off 55 balls and Alex Carey was also about to create his century he was batting at 50 off 37 balls and then the innings got finished, such a wonderful game by Australia today.

Australia really played a great performance today. After losing two consecutive matches, Australia performed very well today and won by a huge margin. The way Australia batted aggressively from the start today, it was expected that Australia would win today. However, today's win was very important for Australia. If Australia had not won today, they might have been whitewashed by South Africa, which would have been a great humiliation for Australia, but winning this match was very good for Australia. My sincere congratulations and love to Australia for winning this match today.

Australia tried to redeem all of the questions raised about their form in last two ODIs in a single one. Even though they have already lost the series, they made a statement that they are not to be taken lightly. They had intention of making a good total as Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh completed their centuries in quick time but the largest contribution on reaching such record high score was from Cameron Green. Creating his personal best, he put 118 runs on the table in 55 balls. It was nearly impossible for South Africa to chase it and they struggled from the start. They were all out before playing half of the allocated balls and lost by a big margin of 276 runs.

It's a dead rubber match which is why this isn't much of a statement to be honest. South Africa were even missing some of their key bowlers like Rabada and Ngidi. Frankly, the opposite happened.

The Proteas decimated the Aussies on their own turf in a one sided manner which is why they proved why they should be feared across all formats at the moment. The legendary chokers aren't choking anymore.

Australia today scored 10th highest team total in ODI history. The target is huge but I am surprised to see batting of South Africa, the whole team got out for just 155 runs. You are right, though Australia already lost the series but their today's performance clearly sends a signal that they are not a weak team. Look at batting figures of Australia, only four batsmen scored 431 runs today. Three Australian batsmen were centurion while Alex Carey is the only one to score half century today.

Australia are a strong team so they should not be taken lightly, and I don't think anyone will take Australia lightly. But this match was not so important for South Africa as they won the series with one match to spare.

Australia lost the first two matches due to the failure of the batsmen, if the Australian batsmen could have performed well in the first two matches like today then Australia could have won the series. In the first two matches, the South African batsmen performed well, due to which they won. But today South Africa will lose but I didn't expect them to lose by such a big margin. Dewald Brevis scored 49 runs for South Africa today which was the highest score, besides the performance of other batsmen was not good. Australia turned around but it was too late.

[JSRAW]

When it's a dead rubber fixture and opposition gives you chance to face rookie bowlers, disguise as testing bench strength.

You are supposed to feast on such opportunity and if possible humiliate them and Aussie did exactly that by belting them. Bowling was such a mess that Green was denying a single so that he can clear the boundaries, mind you non striker was not some dummy with the bat and Carrey was striking over 130, which is a lot in ODI.

South Africa had already confirmed the series following their first two games win. Today Australia's batting finally clicked, giving the home fans something to celebrate after a rough start. It may only be a consolation win, but it showed the team's fight and ability to bounce back. For Australia, this performance is a small boost of confidence to carry forward despite losing the series.

I think when things come to Aussies ego and team dignity then we will have always such kind of new surprises and record to be wrote. No doubt Australian were really off colour and completely out track in recent two match, but now they scored almost same of previous match proteas target combinely in single match and brutally punished thier opponent in order to keep his dominance alive. Honestly I had already predicted their victory as it's huge shame to be White wash back at home for such legendary team. Anyway Aussies rest of lineup were on fire and really dominate things in both field. Hope things will be much more spicy for them in coming series and tournament.

If fortunately South Africa had already won the series, South Africa had been defeated by 276 runs today if Australia could have done the second match, then the results of the series would have changed. In today's match, the way Australia scored the 10th highest score with three batsman centuries shows that Australia made the mistake of decorating their squad. If they could have done today in the first and second matches, South Africa might not have won the series by defeating Australia. In today's match, Cooper Connolly has collected 5 wickets with just 22 runs in six overs, if he were to be the first and second team, then the Australia series would not have been lost.

[Popkon6]

The third and final ODI match between South Africa and Australia will be played in a while. South Africa is already leading this ODI series 2-0, meaning that South Africa has already won the series. Australia's performance in the previous two matches was not that impressive, especially since they lost each time due to batting failure. Very few of the batsmen from Uttar Para have been seen performing. As a result, they have lost both matches by big margins. Today, their last ODI match, they must win this match to maintain Australia's honor.
On the other hand, it remains to be seen whether South Africa can whitewash Australia.

The Australian batting line-up has really failed in this one-day series. Australia was a team that always scored up to 200+ in T20 games, but now in one-day games, they find it hard to reach the 200 runs mark.

Travis Head is not in form and the team should not depend on him. I think this is the end of Travis head prime form now. We will see him back in his form after 2 to 3 years as we see from every player, every prime had a downfall and every downfall had a comeback in this sport. Will this final clash between the two teams bring anything good for the Australian team and can they save the whitewash 

I think this time Australia team needs to change their strategy completely as since Australian cricket team made they use to be power hit no matter what the format is test or T20 or One day, and wins the game but now they are looking for the same thing but I think they should go with easy for some period and then when their players will perform consistently then play with that scheme and should go with different player in different tours. Today they are batting with much more confidence, made 191 runs and didn't lose any wickets.

Australia, after losing badly in the past two matches, performed the most aggressively in this match, and the Australian team regained its former form. The Australian team was quite aggressive in this match, but the South African team lost wickets very quickly in this match due to the pressure of the Australian team's bowling. However, the South African team was under a lot of pressure because the Australian team had thrown a big target of 431 runs on the South African team.
Because the South African team's players know exactly that they will not be able to win this match today, because it is very difficult for the South African team to meet the target of 431 runs. However, the Australian team's performance was good in both bowling and batting, which helped them win by a large margin.
