A well directed back of a length ball finally gets Prithvi out. Aussies have not been bowling those enough and feeding him fuller balls for some reason.

Pope just dropped a straight forward catch...Sutherland is like a mix between Starc and Hazlewood?

Eshen · #28 January 13, 2018, 11:06 PM

Waugh Jr does not seem to be much of a pacer. Is he in the team as an allrounder?

Eshen · #29 January 13, 2018, 11:09 PM

Another catch dropped, by Ralston. Edwards minimized the loss by taking the catch on his next ball while he was still at his follow through

aklemalp · #30 January 13, 2018, 11:10 PM

Aussies catching has been poor.

Lackadaisical!

aklemalp · #31 January 13, 2018, 11:15 PM

Lakshan and Mendis bossing the chase

Eshen · #32 January 13, 2018, 11:15 PM

Is Waugh Jr a fan of Fizz? Has been bowling lots of cutters.

Eshen · #33 January 13, 2018, 11:19 PM

K Mendis - another freak spinner from Lanka, he can bowl with both hands!

Eshen · #34 January 13, 2018, 11:26 PM

What happened to this guys? Kevin Koththigoda? I don't see him in the Lanka squad.

Eshen · #35 January 13, 2018, 11:33 PM

Sangha's captaincy has been poor. With experience playing at higher levels, you would expect him to marshal his main bowlers better. When Shaw was driving his pacers so well, it should have been intuitive to ask the pacers to hold back their lengths.

Using so many part timers did not help either.

Eshen · #36 January 13, 2018, 11:44 PM

I would rather face Aus in QF, even though we managed to beat India in the Asia Cup. India's batting look much stronger with Shaw and Gill added.

Eshen · #37 January 14, 2018, 12:26 AM

I am impressed with Indian pacers - they're fast and also extracting better bounce from the pitch! Pretty solid skill-wise too!

Looks like Pakistan lost the bragging rights for producing the best batch of pacers in the subcontinent!

Eshen · #38 January 14, 2018, 12:41 AM

Fastest delivery from Shivam Mavi - 144.5 KPH!!!

Eshen · #39 January 14, 2018, 12:47 AM

The Indian keeper is pretty crappy though, couple of wickets should have been down already otherwise.

Eshen · #40 January 14, 2018, 12:55 AM

Nagarkoti top speed so far - 146 KPH!!!

Yankees · #41 January 14, 2018, 01:06 AM

How are you watching the games? Any links?

Eshen · #42 January 14, 2018, 01:13 AM

This Indian team is nothing like the one faced in Asia Cup. That team was missing half the players!

Eshen · #43 January 14, 2018, 01:32 AM

We already heard of Shaw before. Find of the tournament for me will be Nagarkoti. His bowling action is just a thing of beauty!

Eshen · #44 January 14, 2018, 01:38 AM

Over hyped Sangha gone early

Shaan · #45 January 14, 2018, 02:44 AM

Boy that Nagarkortti got some serious pace, the boy look skinny but he is very talented lad. Bright future for India.

We need to take care of them and make sure they don't fade away or lose pace, years of investment finally bearing fruits. Also 145+ u19 level means they are genuine 150+ prospects.

Roy_1 · #48 January 14, 2018, 11:22 AM

Just checked Nagarkoti clocked 149kph today, exciting days ahead.

Eshen · #49 January 14, 2018, 01:18 PM

Only issue with Nagarkoti is that he is relatively short. Dada (commenting on the match) was not all that excited about Nagarkoti. He was more interested in tall and strong looking Mavi.

brockley · #50 January 14, 2018, 03:02 PM

Too many allrounders,missing batsmen like Harvey,and not enough specialist bowlers.
