Aus getting close to full-strength. Will they receive another hiding?

Aus have really collapsed after Marsch got out.
292/5 after 41.4.

AUS 352/7 (50)

400 was definitely on the cards.

Eish, is this a sign of things to come this world cup; flat batting decks with crazy high scores? Who would want to be a bowler...

 

[Maurice Kitching]

That was out. Bat on the line. Commentators are conspicuously quiet about it.

Its India. It will be high scoring with the odd bunsen burner when the groundsmen screws up.

Definity should have gotten more then 400. When I started watching they were 220/2 in the 29th over. Only added 130 in the next 21 overs.

I thought so too. But reckon it was too close to call.

Saw about the same portion. India did well to pin them back. Now look on target to take it comfortably, but anything can happen.

I think the Aussies struggled in the humidity.

Fluke catch my Maxwell.

Which is strange, given how many of them should have plenty experience playing there thanks to the IPL.

Well first time I've seen a chair coming on the field during drinks.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Big fish out!

Seen it in Sri Lanka before. There the humidity is horrendous.

 

[Maurice Kitching]

Game's taken a bit of a turn.

Can the Ausies pull this back?

 

[Maurice Kitching]

Going to reiterate what I said the other day (at the risk of some ridicule), I think Marnus has a real role to play in this team. Batting aside, his catching is really good, and in a team that fielded well today, he stood out. I reckon he was worth at least 20+ in the field.

Also surprised to find out he's the top ODI batsman in terms of runs scored for Aus this year? I took a double take when they flashed that on the screen.

Must've been due to his time here
