India vs Australia
Transcript
00:00Right, he'll find the gap now. First idea of what the outfield is like.
00:06Tells a story.
00:09Well, he's picked the gap now. This is a very fine shot because he's shortened the length.
00:14I don't think it was that short, but he's shortened it beautifully.
00:20Oh, that's been taken.
00:23Virat Kohli has put down a couple earlier on, but that is a very, very good catch. He's gone low to his left.
00:30Australia 34-1.
00:48Aaron Finch gave the charge straight away. Australia losing their second wicket, 45-2. Aaron Finch dismissed for 20.
00:55Brilliant shot. He's not to the pitch of the ball, but he's gone through with the shot.
01:01He's in amazing form, and that's a great strike from Baley.
01:07And this time he's gone over. Oh, that's a huge one. That is a big one.
01:15Full toss. That's asking for trouble. It's too easy.
01:19There's no danger of hitting against the turn. It's gone the distance as well.
01:25Oh, he's lofted this into the stands. What a great shot that is.
01:30His confidence exuding from the bat.
01:36Now then, that has cleared the fence, and it's gone for six, and it's spoiled what looked like a very good over.
01:47That has hit the boundary cushions, and that'll be another six.
01:51Bailey's hitting these improbable sixes.
01:59Will he get four here shortly? It will be. It absolutely flies over this surface.
02:06And it's run away from Jadeja, one of the quickest in the side. 32 overs gone. It's 188 for two.
02:14Oh, he's hit that really hard.
02:16So now he's been clobbered at the back foot.
02:21Oh, a tremendous shot. It's gone through.
02:25Oh, on a ground like this, the bowlers need all the support they can get.
02:30Bounce keep coming all around.
02:34I'm telling you, that's even better.
02:38He's just enjoying himself now, Shane Watson.
02:46This will be the boundary that he needs.
02:49Well played, Shane Watson.
02:51Seized the opportunity, realized it was there for him.
02:58Oh, he's gone through it this time.
03:00What a sequence of deliveries. 4-4-4, and then one right through him.
03:08Not dissimilar to the dismissal in Ranchi.
03:12Mitch, fantastic knock. 102 of 94 deliveries. Australia in a strong position. 213 for three.
03:21Even better. This time, it was a little easier for him.
03:25Because Angle was taking it down the offside anyway.
03:28But he's an exciting cricketer.
03:30Conventional one.
03:32And that was bad enough.
03:35Now this time, there's a fielder underneath it.
03:38Touch and go. Touch and go. Take it.
03:41Bhuvaneshwar Kumar takes the catch.
03:44Just thinking he was caught in two mines.
03:46And Maxwell dropped on the back foot eventually.
03:49But this is a very good catch by Bhuvaneshwar Kumar.
03:52Because it's one of those tricky areas just around the boundary rope.
03:56Poor bowling.
03:58Proper cricketing shot. And even a better catch.
04:01Maxwell out for nine. 224 for four.
04:05Down to third man. Very good batting.
04:07Will that go all the way?
04:08A good fielding by Amit Mishra. But he can't stop the boundary.
04:12This was the best of the lot.
04:17It's in the air. Long on. Amir Spectator.
04:20It's into the stands.
04:22Great strike once again.
04:24From Bailey.
04:27And this is sweet.
04:29This is very, very sweet.
04:31Right from the middle of the bat.
04:33And it's gone a long, long way.
04:35Again full toss.
04:37Long on. No chance.
04:43To the offside.
04:46150 for the Australian captain.
04:49And it's a fabulous performance.
04:55Goes straight.
04:57And taken at long off.
05:00Virat Kohli making no mistake.
05:01And bringing an end to a fabulous innings.
05:04From George Bailey.
05:07But take a bow, George Bailey.
05:09Wonderful hand.
05:11Captain's innings. 156.
05:13So here's Jadeja.
05:15And straight back.
05:19Hundredth wicket in one day internationals for Ravindra Jadeja.
05:23And he's got two and two.
05:25First, George Bailey.
05:27And now, at the end,
05:29George Bailey.
05:30And now, Adam Borges.
05:32More of the strike.
05:34But they want to check now.
05:36They want to check the no ball aid.
05:40Oh, another one.
05:42And Borges might have to go back.
05:47And now, this will be a free hit as well.
05:53Rohit Sharma will cut that off.
05:59Should be taken in the deep, yes.
06:06Out for a dunk. 346 for six.
06:11So single off the last ball.
06:12Australia finish.
06:14After 50 overs.
06:16After being put into bat.
06:18350 for six.
06:20In their 50 overs.
06:21And that's a terrific batting performance.
06:28It's a very good shot.
06:30That will take all the way to the boundary.
06:32Once again, a pitched up delivery.
06:34And very nicely timed.
06:36He's so strong off his bat, Shekhar Dhawan.
06:42Ariel, another boundary.
06:44They need more of these.
06:48Lovely shot.
06:50That's beautifully played.
06:52Superb placement.
06:54He's talking about ahead of the match.
06:56Oh, great shot.
06:58That's hammered to the offside.
07:0150 for Shekhar Dhawan.
07:08Oh, he's picked his spot.
07:12Drives handsomely through the covers.
07:16That's a brilliant shot to end the over.
07:1814 of it.
07:20It's 129 for the loss.
07:25Another boundary up.
07:27So this is a good passage of play for the Indians.
07:30There's still a little bit of room on offer.
07:32Rohit Sharma making the most of it.
07:36He's got a glove on that.
07:38And it's enough for four.
07:40And it's a boundary.
07:42Which brings up the half century for Rohit Sharma.
07:4619th.
07:4850 in one day international cricket.
07:52Bull toss.
07:54It was a matter of time.
07:55And he hit it over mid-wicket for a six.
07:59This time through mid-wicket.
08:01There's a big gap.
08:03And it's gone the distance.
08:07Six more to Rohit Sharma.
08:09Six more to the Indian total.
08:14Another shot delivery.
08:16Field and the deep.
08:18And he's pulled off a stunning catch.
08:21Faulkner, the field and the deep.
08:23Hitting the toe into the bat.
08:25Rohit Sharma.
08:27Very disappointed.
08:29He was well said.
08:31He was batting a 79.
08:33And Finch has picked up a wicket.
08:35Out for 79.
08:37India now 1-7-8 for one.
08:42Leading into the drive.
08:44It's a real treat to watch.
08:46Virat Kohli in action.
08:48He's elegant and he's magnificent.
08:53Excellent use of the feet.
08:56Sheer brilliance from Virat Kohli.
09:03Catches the call.
09:05But he's gone over the top.
09:07Using the bottom hand to good effect.
09:09Virat Kohli is on the road.
09:11Oh, she stands through the ball.
09:14This is big.
09:16This is massive.
09:19Brings out the 200 for India.
09:21Beauty.
09:23He can not only hit them big.
09:25Deft touches as well.
09:31Big, big appeal.
09:33Slipping down the leg side.
09:35Ravi not impressed.
09:37They get runs as well.
09:39Full advice.
09:44He's still looking for two.
09:46Virat Kohli has to run to the danger end.
09:48It's been an outstanding effort.
09:50By Shikhar Dhawan.
09:52Sensational.
09:54This man won the international 100.
09:57All of 2013.
09:59And his first 100 at home.
10:01And isn't he delighted.
10:05Knocked him over.
10:07Getting a long way across.
10:09The fielder was a short fine leg.
10:11He was looking to go over the infield.
10:13And he's lost his wicket.
10:14Stumps everywhere though.
10:16Shikhar Dhawan.
10:18Like Shane Watson.
10:20Departs for 100.
10:22India 234 for 2.
10:24Madhav just a little bit.
10:27Oh, what a shot.
10:30He's batting magnificently.
10:32Now he's got to keep his cool.
10:34Because there's some needle out there.
10:37He's got that fine.
10:39Into the boundary.
10:41Fine legs up in the circle.
10:43And yet another half century for Virat Kohli.
10:48Crash through the offside once again.
10:50Slower delivery.
10:52It took his time.
10:54And once again the placement spot on.
10:59Oh, he's made himself room.
11:02And placed it beautifully through the offside.
11:05First boundary for Suresh Raina.
11:09More runs on the onside.
11:12Another boundary.
11:16Really getting into good positions.
11:18Virat Kohli to play the shot.
11:21Oh, fine shot.
11:24Very, very good shot from Suresh Raina.
11:31Now has he got a glove on it?
11:33Yes, he has. Up goes the finger.
11:35Nigel Longzai out.
11:37Raina is not happy at all.
11:39But there's only one thing that matters in the game.
11:40It's gone up.
11:43Dismissed for 16.
11:45India now 290 for 3.
11:48He knocked him over.
11:50It's been that kind of day for Yuvraj Singh.
11:53Mitchell Johnson was the bowler.
11:55He's troubled both Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh in this series.
11:58And he's come back.
12:00And he's knocked both of them over.
12:02In one over.
12:04India now 290 for 4.
12:06He's hit the gap on this outfield.
12:08That's good enough.
12:11Just wonder, just wonder
12:13if that was a shot born in desperation.
12:17Oh, what a shot!
12:20Where does this man produce these?
12:24Now he's got hold of that.
12:26And that's gone long enough for 4.
12:29So it started well.
12:31Virat Kohli goes up to 95.
12:32And by attacking the first ball
12:34he's put the pressure straight back on Faulkner.
12:38Oh, that is a stunner.
12:41I don't think Faulkner's done too much wrong here.
12:43Because he's followed Kohli again in.
12:47Nicks it fine for 4.
12:5061 ball century for Virat Kohli.
12:54Chased at a better young man.
12:56Chasing totals in international cricket at the moment.
12:58And he's got it.
12:59And he's got the boundary.
13:01He's got a boundary.
13:03He just knows instinctively where to play.
13:05This is a very, very special innings.
13:09He'll get a little more than that.
13:11In the middle.
13:13He's got it.
13:15He's got it.
13:17He's got it.
13:19He's got it.
13:21He's got it.
13:23He's got it.
13:25He's got it.
13:27He's got it.
13:29In the air.
13:31I think he's gone about 12 inches over.
13:33The ideal length is Faulkner.
13:38Down the ground.
13:40Can they sneak a second in?
13:42Yes, they do.
13:44Another memorable run, chase.
13:46Virat Kohli.
13:48Pulls it off once again.
13:50There's a better chaser in international cricket.
13:52I haven't seen him yet.
