Dhoni's innings has been ridiculous. Effortless hitting and this could set up an interesting run chase as there is no reason the Aussies can't just do the same. The new fielding restrictions need looking at I think but McKay and Coulter Nile have bowled fodder. At least Faulkner bowled with some sort of idea and theory to try and stop the run fest. The spinners were a waste of time, floating up hit me balls all day.

With those boundaries I reckon India are 20-30 short of par  ;)

Score was always on the cards.  McKay looked lost.

Small boundaries + altitude. Chase is always on

ODI's in India are possible the worst form of cricket ever. No contest between bat and ball, boundaries become just as mundane as dot balls. Give me a 200 run pitch over these pitches any day.

'Chase is on' - who cares! It's still a boring game when scores are this high. It's not #worldclass players, it's average to poor bowling on super flat tracks with stupidly biased power plays.

I just wish sky wouldn't waste their time showing any game in India, completely pointless. Their bats end up with massively over inflated egos and stats and then Indians claim them 'the best ever' etc. sorry but I take a player avging low 40's in low scoring games over an Indian averaging 700+ on Indian tracks.

It is a shame there is no choice of which games to watch and then sky would see how boring this series is with low viewing figures.

Butcher saying 'dharwan/rohit/kholi haven't made a mistake' -u,m where you not watching just this game when rohit spooned it JUST over mid on, oh when he decided to spoon it up and only just dropped short of mid on, or dharwan top edging. Etc etc


They are mistakes, so to say its faultless and haven't made a mistake is utter crap. They are playing well on flat wickets, against poo international bowlers and getting a way with loose shots.

Think your lost on sky's viewing figures. Sky are still making huge profits otherwise they wouldn't bother.
You have a choice of not watching, if its not your cup of tea don't watch. Simple.

Your not going to get green tops in india. As I mentioned previously, all these rule changes were introduced to prevent spin domination in the middle overs (particularly part time spinners) to help certain teams who struggled in the middle overs rotating the strike and hitting boundaries.

Kinda lol.

Got it for £180, get all sky sports channels, Indian and Pakistani sports channels oh and some US ones.

Sky alone used to cost me £70 a month, now I only pay £20. Jadoo made my money back in 4 months.

Did they put a new drop in pitch down between innings for India to bowl on??
And does anyone else think Finch was unlucky?? Looked to be missing leg to me in real time and slowmo

Give a crap o'meter on which teams can/can't play spin. If you can't play spin then that's your own fault, don't change the rules so sloggers can prosper.

You don't have a choice, if you want to watch cricket the sky is about your only medium, which means ind vs aus is the only offering. I wonder how many who have watched it would have chosen to have watched pak vs sa (insert another match if you want)?? Just because 2 million have watched it doesn't mean 2 million WANT to watch it, just means that a certain % will watch because it's the only cricket on.

In the main only Indian fans seem to want to see these games, I don't know many that actually enjoy these slog fests (the odd one is amusing but game after game and series after series)

Bit like low level stuff, I understand why they restrict bowlers overs but if they want to force you to use 5 bowlers then it'd be better to say 'you must use 5 bowlers who each bowl 6 over' rather than restrict a bowler to x overs. Again, of it's to stop the spinners bowling loads and beating teams then it's the batsmans fault, not the rules.
