Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self

In fact, Australia's two consecutive matches with South Africa have lost a big gap in Australia, especially in Australia, a strong team is being defeated with South Africa. Today, South Africa won by 2-0 in the series. South Africa has a relatively good bowling action than Australia, and Australia is being dismissed very fast in two innings. In a match, Australia could not finish until 5 ova. However, the statistics took place between South Africa and Australia in the last 20 matches where South Africa won five matches. South Africa is far ahead of Australia, especially in the last matches.

I will not blame the Australian bowlers. The pitch was not bowling friendly at all. But the Australian batsmen batted badly in both the matches. Even because of their bad batting , they lost both the matches. Australia could not even collect 200 runs in any match. In the first match , the two openers started a little well. But the next 5 batsmen batted badly. In today's match, except for the two middle- order batsmen Inglish and Green , no one else played well. It is impossible to win such a big target by relying on the slightly good batting of only 2 batsmen. If Australia's batting does not improve in the last match, they will be defeated.

Australia's batting was really poor, no doubt. Their batting lineup looks like a big concern right now. maybe it's time for a reset with fresh coaching ideas and stronger leadership! Credit to South Africa though. Their inexperienced side coming to Australia and dominating like this is huge. A 3-0 whitewash is now looking very possible.

In the ODI match against South Africa, I saw a new Australia who forgot how to bat well. Australia lost the first match by a big margin against South Africa but I took that match for granted and thought that maybe Australia would come back in the second match but South Africa proved that idea wrong. In the second match too, we saw South Africa defeat Australia by a big margin of 84 runs. In the first ODI match, a spin bowler defeated the Australian batsmen and in the second ODI match, a fast bowler left the Australian batsmen in a complete mess. Now the third match is a match to save honour for Australia because they definitely don't want to get whitewashed in the ODI series against South Africa.

This match was between South Africa and Australia, in which the South African team gave the Australian team a target of 277 runs. If we look at the Australian team, it is also very good and has a long-standing record, but their performance in this match was not special, due to which they had to face failure by 84 runs. If we look at the South African team, the start was not special, but Matthew Breetzke scored 88 runs and Tristan Stubbs scored 74 runs to turn the game around in this match and gave a good and excellent target and the rest of the players also supported like a good team. Josh Inglis † of the Australian team scored 87 runs, but the performance of the rest was not special. If everyone had responded well together, they could have completed this target and won this match, but defeat was written in their fate and victory was written in the hands of the South African team.
