2nd ODI at Sydney, 29 November 2020

Does anyone else have trouble telling apart the careers of Vinay Kumar and Varun Aaron

 

[Arachnodouche]

At least the batting's clicking. Only problem being, unlike Aus, most of these guys aren't playing the Tests.

Bhuvi I feel is in the sort of mold of bowler that India have done pretty well at producing historically tbf

In the longer format , yeah I suppose. He's a better version of someone like Praveen Kumar. But his LoI death bowling is extremely valuable and much better than anyone not named Bumrah

Henriques with the key plays of the game again. What a catch!!! Real difference between the two sides. Aus improved their fielding today, we were same level of pathetic.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

All hail the greatest cricketer Portugal has ever produced

 

[Spikey]

hook these replays into my veins. how good was the side on shot

Varun Aaron broke Stuart Broad's nose. The only nose Vinay Kumar could break were the ones who thought he would be test class.

Henriques would make the perfect Reindeer

Overall:

Smith: 18.5

pretty sure the bloke still has sunburns on the back of his mouth from watching the ball sail back over his head at perth tbh

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah pretty sure at the very least Varun Aaron would have scared a couple of their tailenders had he been the one bowling at Perth.

 

[Spikey]

yeah, cause if it's serious the bloody kiwis are gonna start talking about kane

 

[mr_mister]

please tell me this is a joke post

i can show you my formulas and algorithms i used to come up with these ratings

Moises has been ****ing awesome. Great selection in hindsight - barely bowls for nsw these days but knows this track backwards.
If Aus win this they can give Green and/ or Dermo Sabba Abbott a hit in Canberra

Frankly consideing his usual line and length I would be more concerned if I was the square leg umpire tbh

Stoinis won't have caught that, would he?

if they go with Carey as opener - they won't, it'll be Wade - it does open up a spot for Green

But Dermo is doomed to benchwarm.

The lack of strike rotation in this team seriously sticks out as a big weakness. The only one capable of scoring at close to a run a ball even when the boundaries arent flowing is Kohli. Even for Rohit, who's probably a better ODI batsman than Kohli at the moment, its a weakness. Atleast the power hitting isnt as big an issue now with Pandya back.

Which is exactly why he would scare the tailenders and not the batsmen. The one he does get right will hit them out of nowhere at genuine 150+ pace.
