He's doing his job and playing his role as the support. Steadied the ship and now the partnership has gotten them to 110.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2023
- Thread starter zing
- Start date
Australia have won this. Their bowling was excellent. Now all they need is just 1 and 2.
Badly need a wicket here and right now it’s not even been close to arriving.
Need to produce some magic from somewhere.

Probably. I’m more talking about how good he looks rather than how fast he’s scoring. KL Rahul was going slow too but looked solid. This guy looks like he’s struggling / not convincing but I suppose whatever he’s doing is working thus far
Won thisI know nothing about cricket, so shoot me down if I’m wrong, but the intensity seems to have gone from India’s bowling.
Now I know how my wife must feel when she tries to talk to me about football.

If I was supporting India for the first time now I'd be concerned. Can easily swing back. Aussies have one class batsmen left.
The body language looks down now. Rahul's innings should be shamed and named
Yup. He's one of those players, when he's bad he actively makes you worse in an innings
I mean, I guess people did say this would be a one-sided final!
Your main bowlers are only allowed to bowl 10 overs so you have to spread them out and hence allow the lesser bowlers a go too. Plus the new ball can be a lethal weapon (as can the old tbf in the situation / pitch / hands).
Would we have even got to 240 if he hadn’t scored as many as he did!? The guys after him were useless.
Seems that Aussies have been braver in general from the toss call, their bowling and now batting. still hoping for a couple of quick quick wickets.
Well you also need to rotate strike when you are playing well or look settled. Sky is useless but you expect your main batter to atleast rotate strike and take it till the end.
It's because India just can't build any pressure. There's not much to defend as a total so no scoreboard pressure, and Head is playing them easily.
India desperately need a wicket
Head’s still in there
India are giving up too many easy singles given the RRR.
India stopped being aggressive after the power play. They should have done a much better job of stopping the singles between overs 10-20.
This is done, me thinks. Innocuous bowling now.
Feels like we've seen this before
TBH i don't thin the bowling is bad -- defending a below par score
Terrible last 5 overs from India. Another 5 like this and it's nearly done.
India at least need to be tight and not give up easy singles to try build some pressure if they can't get wickets now
I can understand the thinking (dew) but really Siraj should have been bought on first change instead of both spinners
Good afternoon Gentlemen
Just found this thread and that this is live on Channel 5

RR is 4. India gotta try lift that somehow because it will be a stroll to the end for Australia
I can already see the headlines in the papers tomorrow: Ozzies give India Head!
India need a Bumrah special here.
Is Travis Head Ted Lasso?
welcome. as a quick run down of where we are; there’s more positivity to be found at a toddler’s funeral than there is from the indian lads in here, but a wicket will make things spicier.
Head has gone from looking like every ball might get him out when he first came in to now looking like nothing will get him out.
India losing this world cup
Australia winning it
Australia winning it
Travis Head has been brilliant since coming into the tournament. Great batsman and useful with this spin as well.
Ha yes my Indian counterparts are either winning everything or ready to commit hara kiri
Ohhhhhhh lucky lucky boy Marnus.
Well well Kettleborough
I'm alright with the umpire saying that is sliding possibly and DRS agreeing.
Australia batting how India needed to when they lost their wickets. India aren't helping themselves, whereas I think Australia saved about 30-40 runs from their fielding
I don't follow cricket as fanatically as I used to.
First sighting of Lab and Head was in the ashes and I wasn't convinced by either tbh.
I Thought it was missing in real time
