In just over 41 overs, Australia rolled India in tonight’s ODI by 50 runs. And I guess it’s fair to say that if you were an Indian cricketer, you’d probably be asking yourself what it takes to beat the Australian team. Despite some poor batting performances recently, Australia’s bowling has been sublime, consistently winning it matches around the country to the delight of crowds.
While Australia’s batsmen will undoubtedly be spending even more practice time in the nets before the next match, I think the team can be confident that only some kind of disaster is going to stop it taking out the series, based on current form and room for improvement. The most interesting question, at this point in time, is whether Sri Lanka or India will make the final. I’d suggest India.
