Some were surprised, it's just second time 300 has been chased in WOdis but that's bec Aus don't concede 300 a lot, so couldn't chase it more time 😅 But jokes aside, games moving forward too, better decks, more shot making, we can get more such games.

Against Aus, with things getting better in evening, you had to have more cushion which was possible. When their bowlers travelled around, what makes you think that won't happen to ours? It was a largely flat-ish track with a bit of grip. So ofcourse your bowlers would travel too 🏏

Against SA India didn't score enough especially with dew coming in, it was combination of them collapsing and bowlers doing really well, that gave us the start which made it tougher for them, otherwise it could have been a walk in the park for them. 🏏

Play the 6th bowler it would help but that would still not change the fact for me, that the team has left out runs in all 4 games, 3 games top order didn't show up, last one lower one didn't. Bowlers won you the first two, and even in the last two were largely good. #CWC25 🏏

It's here where India lost it, again the focus would be on the bowling when I believe that they did well with what they had, ran it close but if you leave 25-35 runs out there, you aren't giving your bowlers the best chance to win. #CWC25 🏏

The sequence that took India from 294/4 (42.5) to 330 all out (48.5) was absolutely pivotal.

It ensured the chase - while still a world record - was within the realms of possibility.

Australia women have bowled out the opposition in 18 of their last 21 ODIs.

I know after this game again conversation would be about 6th bowler but the thing is again we didn't have enough on the board. Bowlers again like last game have been largely good, its batters who have left out runs in each and every game we have played! #CWC25 #INDvAUS 🏏

As if Australia’s batting depth wasn’t silly enough already, now they have Ellyse Perry batting twice. #CWC25 🏏

🎙️ PODCAST! It's an Interlull episode with @gunnerblog.bsky.social which certainly contains some Arsenal and football chat but also includes discussion of root vegetables, probably too much beard and moustache talk, a discoloured arm, plane gigantism, and lots more.

Problem is that these guys have King at 10 😭

330 on board. Ofcourse it isn't bad but you would feel it isn't enough on a good track with dew too about to come. Hoping bowlers can pull something out of their bags as once again batters leave runs out there (also not completely play the 50 overs) 🏏
kocricket528.bsky.social
So a five-fer for Belsy on her birthday! India finish short of where they would have hoped and don't even play the full 50 overs. That would hurt! #INDvAUS
kocricket528.bsky.social
3 overs, need atleast 30 to have some chance! 🏏
kocricket528.bsky.social
300 uppp!!! Still more than 6 overs left!!
kocricket528.bsky.social
Yep good to see that but would have still sent in Harman. Harman has done really well too.
kocricket528.bsky.social
WI have shown up for this game and it shows. It's still very far but if they could make this side chase something like 150 in the last innings, a few ghosts from recent past might return. Ofcourse that's too far as of now but if they can do it we might have a game on our hands. #CWC25 🏏

Seeing a debate around whether Haaland has done enough to be considered amongst the best strikers to have played in the PL, how would you compare strikers from different eras, is stats the only thing that matters, or is there more to being a striker? #arsecastextra
kocricket528.bsky.social
Like don't know what Amol and co are doing, you needed someone more proactive at this stage, to keep the charge going for a 350 odd total... You can't allow things to curve down especially considering it was Smriti who got out 😭 #CWC25 🏏
kocricket528.bsky.social
150 uppp. 150 run stand between Smriti and Pratika!!
kocricket528.bsky.social
128 off 22 overs is a good start but India needs to keep going. It shows the kind of surface this is as well and we shouldn't forget that last game we had dew play a role too. So need cushion for that too. 350 odd should be the target as of now!! #INDvAUS #CWC25 🏏
kocricket528.bsky.social
Smriti starting off well already making things better for India. She's going at over 100 here, so Pratika being slow not hurting to the levels it would have otherwise. Need to better the rotation of strike for sure!! #CWC25 🏏 #indvaus
kocricket528.bsky.social
50 for Smriti! 100 run stand!!
