Well we got Shubman but we really need to get Rohit or Virat shortly

These 2 bat for an hour together and they could pile them on ... mozz factor activated!!

    I'm just going on our form in this cup where we have won more batting first. But Cummins is thinking the dew will affect their spinners.

    Starc has hit some form at the pointy end of the series.

    Each match has different conditions to factor in

    And it's a team decision so McDonald (the coach) would be on board with the decision.  Along with the other senior players

    But I do like attacking decision making in any kind of sport

    1-54 off 7 overs is advantage India, all the same

    I'd say even Stevens at the minute.

    Good score at 8 am over.

    But two down.

    Head is one of the best fielders in the game for me.

    What a catch, Head!!! Loved the Maxxy celebration, Rohit looked ominious, big break through!!!

    Bowling first and now they're 3-81

    Hmmmmmm

    And as we all know, wickets can slow the run rate ... unless it doesn't!  haha

    That Travis Head catch was a contender for mark of the round.

    It was just a freak effort.  Especially in such a big match

    He may have lost sight of the ball as well which makes it all the more remarkable

    Mozz factor is working (for now)

    It's like the spectators version of a powerplay

    The script is there to be written for Kohli. However, if we break this partnership early we are up to our eyeballs in this 😍

    Building pressure. No boundaries.

    Time for a wicket I say.

    Yep, we created a holding pattern but they will launch again soon enough

    As you said, another wicket needed to set them back again

    Right now, I'd take 270 - 290 as India will want more than that

    Yep. No boundaries but still scoring.

    Think they will be happy with easy runs then will start to accelerate.

    Agreed a 270-290 a good effort to restrict them to this. Hopefully bit better and lower than that with the start we've made.

    Yeah, but it's Kohli ... he will have set himself to make a big 100

    Anything less than 270 is a bonus right now ... they could get 5 or 6 an over from here in 1's & 2's

    The issue for India right now is they need to get some 2's at least ... but we have fielded brilliantly and are keeping them to 1's only

    Remembering that Jadeja is their no.7 and he's more of a hitter not an occupier ... their next batsman in (Yadav) is the last of their recognised batsmen

    That's the one we wanted and the one we needed ... Virat gone, played on!

    Aussies on top but another quick one would give us a big advantage

    Yes!!! Like he read my mind, thought it was time for the captain to step up and bowl few overs. Crowd silenced. Come on Aussies!

    Another one!  5 - 178 off 36 overs

    The ball is starting to hoop with reverse swing ... and Hazlewood is the man for the occasion.  Starc & Cummins can exploit as well but Hazlewood is in the spotlight just coming on now ... 4 overs left

    We've done our homework pinging the ball in on the bounce at every opportunity

    All legal of course but I remember a time when the umpires would warn players if they deliverately threw the ball in on the bounce ... times have changed

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
