    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

    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

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
