India really firing today it's good to see.
Nice.
"Pakistan have been bowled out under 100 on 13 occasions so far. They were bowled out under 100 in England three times in the 2010 tour. They have also been bowled out for sub-100 scores five times against Australia and once each against West Indies, Sri Lanka and South Africa."
Five, if you count Mitchell's.

Win the game, change the team. Doi.
Was very surprised to see the team tonight. You win, and you have fuck all games to get ready for the World Cup, so you...change the team? Drop THREE players from a winning team and drop the opening batter who made OVER SEVENTY in the first game to like number 6? Straight retarded.
Kudos to India...dat fielding. No kudos to Dussey...dat shitty calling.

Winning got to their heads.
I think talking to the commentators threw Dussey off.
edit: Still talking & LMAO Finch still totally upset with him. Drop a catch Dussey then you'll stop talking

This is insane. Insane.
Is this even cricket?

The best thing Pakistan did today so far was use their reviews in an idiotic way, rubbed off on England.

It's still better than 20/20
India have this one in the bag.
I feel it's been a long time coming for this Australia-India relationship and rivalry to develop. There are many similarities in terms of cultural characteristics as well as considering the "birth" of the respective modern nations due to participation in World War I and World War II.
The only difference is that India pursued independence directly after World War II - Australia could have pursued the same and would have likely won if it weren't for Robert Menzies sugar coating the monarchy.

They were joking around but Healy is still a tool.
ABC's Grandstand were saying that Bailey was acting reckless in the 1st match by pushing himself up the order. They weren't really happy, outside of the guest commentator from India who chastised his fellow commentators for hating on someone without strong evidence.
If India win the next game then Bailey won't touch a captain's catch again, even in the short form.

Well Aus played pretty damn shitty tonight. So many run outs, misfields, etc.
There is no third T20 game. Bailey's worth will have to wait longer to get evaluated.
And lol @ Dhoni.
Aww no, more hatin on Bailey. Too little too late though.
Damn shit. Why was I thinking that there was another 20/20.
Glad to see a tri-series back in some capacity.
Honestly, huge Bailey fan (Tassie bias) but that was some shitty captaincy tonight. Not helped by the worst running/calling and batting of the summer. Really bad bowling changes, SHIT field placement (you're defending 130 and you push everyone as far back as possible...really?) and not getting in his bowlers ears when everyone was bowling straight pies. Where were the yorkers? Mitch Marsh should fucking be ashamed of himself. Also dropping Travis Birt, Dan fuckin' Christian and Faulkner, and putting in...McKay? Really? The largest spud of Australian cricket? Disgraceful.
I actually hope people give that loss a working over, because even in T20, if you play like that on an international level you need to analyse how bad you actually were. Australia need to get back that killer edge on every stage.
Also lol@Pietersen out to left arm spin again.

A worry (and I pretty much hear this a LOT in Australia, see David Warner's switch-hit) is that the selectors and the general public pretty much seem to be "Oh well, it's only T20 LOL!" but I think that winning attitude absolutely needs to go throughout every format at international level. You just had to look at Kohli going nuts to see how stoked they were to win one fucking game against Australia.
Bell probably wanted to go to the loo, as he got the bug
I mean who gets stumped in a test match?
What England needed was to send Broad up. He's counter attacked with the bat very well earlier (56*) and given his bowling performance I wouldnt be surprised if he scored another 50.

Morgan gone too.35 lbws in the series and we are just into the first day of the 3rd test.Fuck this drs.
Honestly, it seems like DRS is working in this series? For too long on shitty arse tracks has LBW not been given, now it's really highlighting them. Umps would normally be too scared to give that many LBW's, but this is really making the right decision (nb: I say this without watching these tests extensively).
