Looking at this next ground for Wednesday nights decider, there hasn't been an international ODI here since oct 2016, the last 5 games not a single team has scored over 300, and only on one occasion in those last 5 has a team scored above 250 (india 263). Interesting if this trend continues.

Finch went for a slow 27. Fuck me dead, can we start a collection to get Jeff Gilooly to take him out before the WC?

Not the smartest play from turner there, just hit the first ball of the over for 6, the next was a wide and than gets out trying to clear the rope again the ball after.

Our score is consistent with historical scores on this ground but i think we might be 30-40 short, see what happens, it is certainly not the easiest pitch to bat on. I am going to state the obvious here but on this kind of pitch, we need to get kohli back in the pavilion early.

272 competitive total. Very defendable on this pitch. Depends on the dew though. The key is Sharma and Kohli. Get them for under 50 each and we should win this game.

If khawaja gets dropped from the team for Warner then it proves our selectors are duds. Finch needs to go when Warner and Smith comes back.

I dont care if we have to make Carey captain or even Maxwell. It might actually help Maxwell.

220-30 has been the avg on this ground for awhile now. More than consistent. Get Sharma and Kohli out without too much damage and we win

Wow such an ordinary ball gets Kohli so cheap Haha. Was a 4 ball from Stoinis gets a nick to the keeper. They needed that. Just need to get Sharma out. He is looking good

Boom! Sharma stumped! Zampa couldve had Sharma out 3 times in 3 overs. Finally though he is gone.

This would be the greatest choke if we cant win it from here

Zampa has been great in this series, has taken big wickets when we needed them.

India all out for 237 off the last ball.

Well done aussies. The 5th team to come from 2-0 down to win a series. Confidence boost before a world cup knowing 4 players from your team in Smith, Warner, Starc and Hazzlewood are still to come back in the team
