CWC 2015 - Ind Beats Pak At Adelaide - Champions For India

Champions of #India's Historic win against #Pakistan at #Adelaide #CWC 2015

#Shikhar Dhawan​ - set the foundation with a un-Dhawan like innings - risk free and lot of patience. My man of the match really.

#Virat Kohli​ - got back into form and took to the Pak bowlers with usual disdain and touch of arrogance. Did most of the two chances he got.

#Suresh Raina​ - capitalized brilliantly on a solid platform and took the game away from Pak with his power hitting

#MS Dhoni​ - marshalled his troops well in this crunch game and on back of a some poor cricket over last three months. Press, media and supporters, including me, were gunning for his throat. His personal form is still a worry but this CWC needs Dhoni more as India captain than batsman.

CWC 2015 - Did England Lose Match At The Toss v Australia?

England won a great toss but chose to field. Did they lose the game there?

#EoinMorgan mentioned at the toss that he'd like to exploit overnight moisture at the #MCG early and inserted Australia in. Was it a fatal mistake? Big game, Tournament opener ... was it not a better idea to bat first and put runs on the board?

#GeorgeBailey was very happy to lose the toss and still get his choice - bat first. He mentioned the pitch would be great throughout and it did play true throughout the game.

Morgan's decision would have been vindicated greatly, if Aaron Finch would not have been dropped in the very first over on nought. He went on to make 135. Huge dent...

The specially minted #coin for the match toss is beautiful though.

CWC 20115 - Ind v Pak Starts In A Few Hours !! Super Exciting This

In a few hours from now, the biggest game of the competition (in terms of traditional rivalry and passion) gets underway at the Adelaide Oval in a Day/Night fixture.

#INDIA v #PAKISTAN

The sub continent giants collide very early in the tournament and am sure that will ignite, rather explode into a gala event!

India has never lost to Pakistan in a #CWC game.
See stats here...

On form Pakistan look a better side than India.
But, the occasion is such that its more about mental skills than cricketing ones that would decide the eventual winner. #MSDhoni holds an edge over his counterpart #MisbahUlHaq in that department.

All in all an exciting prospect and look forward to a great game of cricket.
Best of luck to both teams

  

CWC 2015 - Aussie "Mitch" Trio Demolishes England at MCG

The trio of three Mitchells - Starc, Johnson and Marsh run amok (claimed 9 of the 10 wickets to fall) at the MCG against a hapless and hopeless England batting order in their opening gam...e of the #CWC2015.

 

 

 

 

Chasing a mammoth 342, England collapsed to 231 all out.

The only wicket to fall to other than a Mitch was #JamesAnderson run out at the end of their innings. #JamesTaylor played a valiant knock of 98 in vain.

  

 

Bowling Stats: 

Mitchell Starc 2 for 47

Mitchell Johnson 2 for 36

Mitchell Marsh 5 for 33

Run out - James Anderson

 

Man of the Match: #AaronFinch

 

 

CWC 2015 - Mitchell Marsh 5-For Brakes England Chase Badly

#MitchellMarsh 5-For against #England.
Marsh is producing an amazing spell of seam bowling at the #MCG
 
His current figures read 8-0-20-5 .. simply amazing.
 
Another wicket in his next two overs and he may just snatch that man of the match award from #AaronFinch. Who would you give it to?

New Zealand: 331 for 6
Sri Lanka: 233 all out.
