The washout was good for the hosts as they looked down and out from the beginning yesterday. India vs Australia 4th ODI highlights show five dropped catches and poor bowling, and fielding.
India vs Australia fourth one day international seemed to be becoming very enticing match when all in a sudden light showers started disrupting the match and finally forced the match to be abandoned. I am sure the two guys who must have been most disappointed from this washout of such an important match are none else but Aussies captain Bailey and Maxwell both of whom changed the course of the Australian inning that seemed to have crumbled with Mohammed Shami’s initial attack in the game.
The two not just helped their side recover, they also took their team to a very strong position by adding 98 and 92 runs respectively in a great fashion. Compared to Maxwell, Bailey was a bit ‘slow’, nonetheless he made his 98 in just 95 balls while Maxwell’s 92 came off merely 77 balls that included as many as 5 massive sixes. To be true no on gave them any chance to come this far as they had lost their three wickets when the scoreboard read 32 runs and then another wicket when the score was around 77.
When the match was stopped due to showers, the Indian score was 27 runs and Sharma and Dhawan, the two openers were at the crease. When it comes to bowling the Indian team’s Mohammad Shami did very well in the beginning and had he got good support from the other end the situation would have been very different. But like always the lead bowler didn’t get any support from others and when the wickets started falling the damage was already done.
The most important aspect other than Bailey and Maxwell batting show was the poor fielding by the Indian side. They dropped five very important catches and Bailey, the destroyer of the Indian side in this tour was given three lifelines and Maxwell was dropped once. So the whole team India looked down and out yesterday. It was good for team India that the match was washed out.
