ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Mahdirakib]

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.

This big victory would help Australia to forget their series defeat by 2 - 1. Personally, I wasn't expecting to see anything like this. Finally, Travis Head has shown his capability in today's match. Where Cameron Green has shown more powerful batting performance than Travis Head in the match. Unfortunately, Australia couldn't break their previous highest ODI score record. They were 3 runs short from their past record. They had scored 434 runs against South Africa in 2006 and lost that match .

South Africa could not show their mettle by defeating Australia in today's match. Earlier, they were able to win by chasing a target of 435 runs, but lost today's match by a huge margin of 276 runs. Although if South Africa had performed as well as they did in the previous two matches in today's match, the margin of victory could have been reduced, but instead they were all out for just 155 runs. In today's match, South Africa could not understand the ball of Australian bowlers Cooper Connolly, Xavier Bartlett, Sean Abbott. Australia had a fantastic comeback in today's match, but unfortunately, after losing the series, the comeback did not pay off, but the winning margin was 2-1.

It was truly a great innings from Australia. Only four batsmen scored 430+ runs on the scoreboard. Three of the top order batsmen scored centuries and the fourth batsman would have scored a century if the over had not ended. Australia performed well under pressure and this match may be the biggest proof of that. Australia lost the series to South Africa by a big margin in the first two matches, and similarly, if Australia had lost the third match against South Africa, then they would have been whitewashed against South Africa. Only to avoid the shame of this whitewash, they batted so aggressively in the first innings and scored 430+. Seeing the batting of these two, green and head, it seemed that they were not playing an ODI match but they were playing a T20 match. Many congratulations to Team Australia for giving such an innings after a long time.

[Compromise me]

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.

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 International cricket team performance was excellent in the last match and they were angry by performance of them as they made good target in this match . Three players made centuries in this match and one player made half century in this match and match was totally one sided and players did brilliant in last match but they have to be patient to win the tournament.Travis Head was a top performer of this match because he made important 142 runs in this match but that team lose the series by 2- Many players also did brilliant in this match to give win to their team . Mitchell Marsh also made good partnership in this match because he played very fast in this match.

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.

South Africa struggled in the first two matches with good performance due to which they were able to win the series. This bad defeat shows the strength of Australia, but this victory did not make Australia performance as good as South Africa's two-match winning streak. The Australian players played so well and with such speed that they had given a target of 431 runs, which could not be met by the South African players and they could only score 155 runs, which led to a heavy defeat. In this last match, Australia's performance was in both batting and bowling. The Australian bowler has put pressure in this match, which has been able to control South Africa very well. But at the end of this last match, South Africa won the series and the strength of this series, with which both have won one series each.

Today we saw brutal Aussies, who have the capability to destroy any team anywhere. South African bowlers were helpless in stopping Aussies from playing big shots. Aussies just lost 2 wickets and finish 50 overs with 431 runs on the board. After Aussie batsmen, their bowlers destroyed South Africa batting in just 24.5 overs. Cooper Connolly bowled best spell of his career by picking 5 wickets in 6 overs. South Africa win the series but Australia by winning the last ODI by big margin destroyed their victory celebrations.

This big victory would help Australia to forget their series defeat by 2 - 1. Personally, I wasn't expecting to see anything like this. Finally, Travis Head has shown his capability in today's match.

They were 3 runs short from their past record. They had scored 434 runs against South Africa in 2006 and lost that match .

Still, I would say that winning this match is a consolation prize for Australia after enduring so much humiliation. But what I don't understand is, have Australia's batsmen forgotten their ability to perform like this in the previous matches?
However, we were actually very satisfied to see all the top order batsmen of Australia perform well, especially after a long time, when we saw Travis Head perform well again. Now it remains to be seen how Australia's batsmen perform on the New Zealand tour.

When Keshav Maharaj out to Travis Head at the very first ball of the 34th over, it seemed that now they could stop Australian scoring. At that time, the team's score was 250, but they knew this challenge would not be easy.

As soon as Cameron Green arrived who was playing even more faster than Travis Head and the difficulties were rising for the South Africans and  at that time, South Africa understood there would not be chance to stop Australian batters today. They lost the hopes and gave up. When they came to bat, they knew it was impossible to chase it down, hence the results are in front of us.

[Nanga Parbat]

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 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 performance was good in both bowling and batting which helped them win by a large margin.

The Australian batsmen have actually played very well and strongly in this match and their batsmen have given a very good target due to which they have succeeded and in addition to this their bowlers who have played the match very hard and have made it very difficult for South Africa to victory. If South Africa had not been controlled, South Africa could have played well too but one thing is that the target given by Australia was quite high due to which South Africa could not succeed.That's why they couldn't play well most of the time. If they had a good effort from the beginning, they could have done their best in it which would have allowed them to play well near the target. If South Africa has been strong in the two matches, they could have achieved this target and besides, Australia also gave a difficult target that they couldn't play well in it at all.

Yeah In the third ODI Australia has made the best score in the ODI games against South Africa where Australia scored a 431 runs target and knocked out South Africa at just 155 runs. Australia opened with Travis and Mitchell who deserved an award for their top performance with a partnership of 250 runs. South Africa bowlers couldn't even bowled out many wickets in this whole innings. Australia lost its second wicket at 267 runs snd after that they didn't gave any chance to opponents. South Africa bowlers were astoniched with this tremendous history making performance of Australia's batsmen where the innings came to an end with a target of 431 runs.

South Africa struggled from the start when their openers couldn't make a strong base as they lost early wickrts at 11 runs. More over the Australia's team was in form with aggressive bowlers who eliminated the whole team at just 155 runs and won this game by 276 runs.

The 20th match between Kenya and Qatar team was played at Grainville. Kenya won the toss and elected to batting first. Qatar team  won game by 8 wickets and 39 balls remaining. Kenya set a record total runs for 242 and lost the match. Qatar chased total runs for 243 and won the match. I hope Kenya they will play better in the next matches. The performance of Qatar team in the match was full strength and energy. Kenya also has the potential to win but they need more hardworking. The lost batting performance in Qatar team was by Imal Liyanage  scored 107 runs and 136 balls hitting 12 fours and 0 sixs. Congratulations to Qatar for their upcoming matches.

It is truly incredible that the Australian batsmen who were helpless against South Africa have performed brilliantly in today's match. If anyone performs like that in ODI cricket, then they will definitely have to accept defeat against them. Australia had a chance to win today's match but they will win in a way that was never expected. All the top three batsmen of Australia are scoring centuries. If there were overs, then Alex Carey, who was at number 4, would have been able to score a century.

Such incredible performances are actually very rare. We see many performances where either the top order batsmen play well and if not, the middle order or lower middle order batsmen score well and the team can finally give a good target.
But we rarely see such matches where three top order batsmen score centuries, and the fourth batsman scores a half century. From my point of view, this is one kind of record. Anyway there journey is not yet ended  rather I would say that  their real challenge is going to coming in the New Zealand series.

[Cheema02]

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 

There is no doubt that Travis Head was out of form in the first two matches, but in the third match he made a very impressive comeback and batted so well. The first 250 run partnership between the Travis Head matchmaker Mitchell Marsh helped Australia to set a huge total on the board. Travis Head played very aggressive in last match scored a well deserved fast century and out after scoring 142 runs and Mitchell Marsh also scored century and assist Australia to beat South Africa by huge margin. Australia's batting performance today looked like they had the strongest batting line in the world because three batters scored centuries and one scored fifty remain unbeatable. While chasing down a 400 plus runs total South Africa only managed to score 155 runs all team bowled out but they win this series with 2-1.

This big victory would help Australia to forget their series defeat by 2 - 1. Personally, I wasn't expecting to see anything like this. Finally, Travis Head has shown his capability in today's match. Where Cameron Green has shown more powerful batting performance than Travis Head in the match. Unfortunately, Australia couldn't break their previous highest ODI score record. They were 3 runs short from their past record. They had scored 434 runs against South Africa in 2006 and lost that match .

No doubt this was consolation win for Australia because South Africa already won series, and they bring all bench power for this game, but Aussies took good advantage of this and punish them badly.
This is worst ever defeat for South Africa in ODI history while history will be written no one will add South Africa was playing with their reserve players they will write Australia punish them badly and won by biggest margin.
Four batsmen on crease with 3 centuries and 1 fifty while in bowling youngest ever bowler have 5 wickets for Aussies in this game as well.

I've been noticing for a few days that when a team wins the first two matches in a series and wins the series with one match left, the team that already won the last match of that series doesn't put in much effort and they lose those matches. I recently had a performance like this but I can't remember which team played that series. Anyway, I don't know if the South African team has already took lightly this match or not.

[Zaka1221]

There is no doubt that Travis Head was out of form in the first two matches, but in the third match he made a very impressive comeback and batted so well. The first 250 run partnership between the Travis Head matchmaker Mitchell Marsh helped Australia to set a huge total on the board. Travis Head played very aggressive in last match scored a well deserved fast century and out after scoring 142 runs and Mitchell Marsh also scored century and assist Australia to beat South Africa by huge margin. Australia's batting performance today looked like they had the strongest batting line in the world because three batters scored centuries and one scored fifty remain unbeatable. While chasing down a 400 plus runs total South Africa only managed to score 155 runs all team bowled out but they win this series with 2-1.

In this match, the Australian team gave the South African team a target of 431 runs, which is a very good target and the team that has to complete this target is also a very strong team. Four Australian batsmen batted and hit sixes for the South African team, in which Travis Head scored 142 runs, Mitchell Marsh scored 100 runs, Cameron Green scored 118 runs and Alex Carey scored 50 runs to give a target of 431 runs. If the players of the South African team had also performed well, they could have completed this target because their team is also a good team and they have defeated the Australian team in the previous matches. But in this match, after seeing the batting of the Australian team's batsmen, pressure was put on the South African team, due to which no player of this team could call well and they faced failure in this match and Australia's  The team won.

Aus vs SA

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

I don't think ladies were watching this game and thinking about bet on 500 runs because mostly were enjoying their super Sunday on beds.

But still this was surprising comeback by Australia after losing 2 ODI and series here South African feeling comfortable about their next tour of England because here they can also feel good, and hopefully they will do good against English team which is still leaking their wounds after have lost in last test at Oval and draw series against India.

Only to avoid the shame of this whitewash, they batted so aggressively in the first innings and scored 430+. Seeing the batting of these two, green and head, it seemed that they were not playing an ODI match but they were playing a T20 match.

If there were overs, then Alex Carey, who was at number 4, would have been able to score a century.

Australia's win in today's match is really unbelievable because after losing two consecutive matches, everyone might have expected Australia to lose to South Africa. But if Australia had played a few more overs like they started today, their century count would have increased and their runs would have reached 500+. However, even though today's match was an ODI match, it felt like a T20 match which made the audience very excited and happy. However, based on Australia's performance from the beginning, I said that they would win because today's performance was very exciting where it was clear that they were playing with so much aggression to win today.

[hafiztalha]

Australia International cricket team performance was excellent in the last match and they were angry by performance of them as they made good target in this match . Three players made centuries in this match and one player made half century in this match and match was totally one sided and players did brilliant in last match but they have to be patient to win the tournament.Travis Head was a top performer of this match because he made important 142 runs in this match but that team lose the series by 2- Many players also did brilliant in this match to give win to their team . Mitchell Marsh also made good partnership in this match because he played very fast in this match.

3 rd odi game was ended up between South Africa and Australia teams today and this was the last of this series. Australia team performance excellent effort in this game and they set 431 very big target in 50 overs by losing 2 wickets. Travis was not played well in past two games but today he made brilliant century and hitted seventeen 4s and five 6s. Mitchell and Cameron both also helped Australia team to win this game and Mitchell made 100 runs in 106 balls hitting six 4s and five 6s. Cameron scored 118 runs in 55 balls and hitting six 4s and eight 6s.  Both also performed very well with Travis and that's why Australia won this game and gave big target. South Africa did not chase this big target and lost 3 rd game by 276 runs. Congratulations Australia team won this game but unfortunately they lost odi series.
