And that's the game.

Turner finished with 84 from 43 balls.

Australia's highest successful chase. Overall the 5th highest ever from all teams

Now then what a selection headache for Langer but a welcome one.

Khawaja and handscomb in form as is Maxwell. Now Turner with one of the great knocks will be hard to be left out. Add in Smith and Warner. That's 6 batsmen.

Surely Finch and Marsh wont be in the team.

What about Lynn and Short. They surely have to factor in also in the squad

I went to bed after the Indian innings thinking they would wrap the series up.
Ash Turner you legend

I crashed when it was 2 for 90 something, should have stayed awake that extra few hours. What an innings from Khawaja & handscomb and than turners incredible hitting at the end.

I got a bad feeling Finch might be in the side because of the whole smith can't be captain thing, but maybe they will make maxwell captain if finch is gone? Hope so anyway. It is a real shame they didn't give short a chance on this tour, what a perfect opportunity they have wasted to see if he could have brought his shorter format form to the top level.

You pulled a late one.

Would have been an exciting end for sure.

Are we peaking in time for the world cup? We are world cup specialists, having own 4 (or is it 5?)

I've watched every game in India so far and we should probably be undefeated there.

I was thinking the same thing but England are at home, South Africa are always strong, India are the best accross all formats, the WIndies just showed against England that they have the firepower, NZ have a very strong team even after a disappointing series against India and then Afghanistan and Bangladesh both have the ability to play spoiler on their day... I really think there are 5 very legitimate chances (4 because SA are guaranteed chokers)

If the poms can't win with the best ODI team in the world and playing at home, they never will :laughing: You can never write us off though, we just have this knack of come good and winning that tournament :grinning:
