Four in four! Yorker uproots off stump. Richardson makes room and looks to go through cover but that crashed into the stumps.
Australia vs India, at Brisbane, Warm-up Matches, Oct 17 2022 - Ball by Ball Commentary
That's it from here. The warm-up games between England and Pakistan and Afghansitan and Bangladesh will start soon. Scotland should beat West Indies, check that out too. Revel in the cricketing carnival here on ESPNcricinfo. Cheers.
Prithvi : "Any reason why Axar didn't bowl at all? I am sure he will be in the XI and new to Australia. Shouldn't he get some practice too?" Not sure, maybe he'll be on in the next game.
king: "Aswin's six was the difference..."
Rohit Sharma: We batted well, towards the end we could have added 10-15 more. We wanted to stay till the end, which Surya did. It was a good pitch where you could trust the bounce which our batters did. You have to be smart while playing with big boundaries. Getting them is important but getting singles and twos to accumulate 8-9 in an over is just as key. We have focused on that since Perth. We need to improve at the death. We need to change lengths and tactics. Sometimes hitting the deck is a good option. Overall, it was a good game. It was a good pitch and their batting put pressure on us. Bowling Shami at the death was always the plan and you saw what he did.
Aaron Finch: We haven't capitalised in the chase in the last 3-4 overs. The bowling was good, was happy with the bat too and get a few runs. Richardson was fantastic, we have great depth in the fast bowling department. Zampa and Agar were great too. Can't wait for the New Zealand game. There will be some nerves but should be exciting.
5:30pm: That was a roller-coaster of a warm up. The chase started much according to norms. Marsh went big, Finch got going. He found form and made 79. India started with five bowlers in five overs. Ashwin was economical but didn't find wickets. They plowed through to the end and needed 29 off 18. Arshdeep was going well until an edge turned a 9-run over to a a 13-run-over. Shami came in at the end like a royal-rumble final entry and and turned into a hero by nailing yorkers. The brilliant catch from Kohli is worth a mention too.
Niraj Kheria: "Australia losing last 6 wickets for 9 runs"
How the turntables, seven needed off one
Yorker nailed, bails out to a flight. It zagged in and sped past the flick. Inglis falls over as the furniture is disturbed. Team hat-trick
Failed attempt to sneak a bye ends up in a run out. Shortish ball whizzed outside off, beat the cut. Inglis took off, Agar was late to start. DK threw it to Shami, who took off the stumps at the non-striker's end with Agar not in the picture.
Brilliant one-hander from Kohli at long-on! It was going over, he was backtracking. But while on the move, got out the right and plucked it. The Australian fielders are smiling and so does Cummins as he leaves. It was a full ball that was launched down the ground.
They run two to the midwicket pocket. Better execution of the yorker, Cummins skewered a flick into the ground to midwicket and they run two.
Low full toss, whipped in the gap wide of long-on. Was travelling fast but long-on ran across quick to the right and stopped it
Surprise, surprise! Shami's in!
The sides of fandom:
Justin: "Couldn't have done a better job of butchering this Australia"
Aakash: "A very different kind of 19th over for India."
Low full toss hits pad and ricochets to the off side. They take a single. Cummins crouched as the slower one dipped, tried to flick it along square.
Low, slow full toss. Cummins goes back in his crease and closes the face to nurdle it to midwicket. The space there is empty so they make two.
Goes for the switch hit, gets a leading edge. Ballooned well to the diagonal left of Karthik. Inglis gets a single, may have chipped the helmet while going up
15 off nine. Inglis on strike
Yorker on leg, clipped to deep fine leg.
Direct hit from Kohli at midwicket, sent upstairs but David's walked back. It was a yorker that was clipped, Kohli charged to his right, picked it up and threw it in one motion. David was fast and put in the dive but the ball beat him to it.
amaresh: "I always feel boundaries in all stadiums should be as big as in Australia "
Yorker cleans up Finch Harshal came from very wide of the crease and sent in a slower one. That ball could have been a nacho dipping into ranch. Finch tried to flick it but it snuck between. Finch was way too early through the shot signalled it was the slower one right after it hit the stumps.
Squeezed off the bottom edge and it makes to the deep-third boundary. Much needed boundary, required rate down to eight. It was a low full toss that David tried to get under and drive through cover. Suryakumar ran to his left and decided not to put in the dive.
Full and wide, jammed it to cover.
Whacked, clears the boundary! It's a slower ball on a length outside off, Finch went across and slogged it. His stance was almost squared-up, but he did it intentionally to go squarer.
Length outside off, looked like a flick. But he hung the blade outside to allow the ball to steer to deep point
Tim David comes in
Pulled in the air, straight to Kohli at deep midwicket! Looked to be the longer boundary because the fielder was well within the ropes. It looked a length ball that rose up. Stoinis was in a good position and played it well but couldn't muscle it far enough.
Length outside off, the cutter is cut to deep third off a thick edge.
Arshdeep
29 off 18 needed, with seven wickets in hand. Australia should be in front.
Venkat: "Look to see Arshdeep bowl the 20 th over to defend 10 runs. "
Tucks a length ball to square leg.
Fullish ball is turned to deep midwicket
DK's commentating behind the stumps in full flow
