Whats with Starcs obsession with bowling on leg or outside leg to left handers?
 
A bit happening in the cricket, Gayle given out caught behind, after reviewed it, the ball had hit the stump. Two balls later he was given out LBW, he reviewed again, the ball had pitched out side leg stump and was going further down leg, 1/29.
 
Third time unlucky for Gayle, given out LBW, on review it was umpires call, so he had to go, 2/32

Previous ball was a massive front foot no-ball, not called, should've been a free hit.

But fancy the ball clipping the stumps at Starc's pace and nothing moving!
 
Gritty win after the Windies had the upper hand a couple of times. Not sure about our bowling depth - Starc, Cummins & Zampa bowled well but the others looked shaky.

Very unusual one-day wicket, perhaps we’ll be better suited in conditions closer to standard.

We were behind all day, if that makes sense. Should never really have won but the Windies batting left a lot to be desired late on.
 
It was disappointing to hear the crowd continually booing the Australian team. Very racist.....

Yeah, Zampa, Coulter Nile, Maxwell and Stoinis won't have too many batsmen worried.

But it was an excellent effort to win after being 5/79.
 
Warner strike rate of 54% after 17 overs chasing 350. He's going to have perform from here.
 
A very very flat pitch and batted second.
Absolutely ideal for Indians.
With any pace or bounce on the wicket we are a seriously good team.
Zampa is a problem on a flat pitch.
Never likely to win once we bowled a few balls.
Nothing to worry about unless the same is served up in a final.
 
Bloody impressive by Kohli to stand up for Smith.

In situations like the ablett booing on friday night, I would love to see the players stand up and do the same.

It is a *smile* act by supporters and we have experienced it recently with rance last year. IMO it impacted his form.

Took balls by Kohli. True leadership.

Yes. A fearsome adversary; you might not like him but you damn well better respect him. I held Hansie Cronje in similar regard until the thing.

I don’t believe Smith necessarily merited such intervention, but such is the power Kohli wields.
