    @MN5 @mariner4life one day I'd like to get you two together for beers.

    But I'd leave before the homo gear starts.

    Australia chase down 358 to draw the series in India 2-2.

    Ashton Turner with 84 off 43.

    There is a feature in the new KaySports app that allows you to skip forward to the 6s and Wickets - with an Indian crowd that means either raucous acclaim or stunned silence.

    It is quite the contrast.

    @NTA Yeah - I was just looking at that scorecard. Some kid I've never heard of comes in and goes at a 200 strike rate to cruise home.

    Add Warner and Smith to this team - maybe Hazlewood and Starc - and not playing in India. Putting down a reasonable marker to win the CWC.

    Best value bet at current odds?

    Astounding to see Kohli with a single figure score. You just expect him to score every innings. The bloke is a freak.

    Aus have turned this around massively, and I am starting to think they will do damage in England. Add Starc and Hazlewood to Cummins and Richardson and it's a lethal set of quicks.

    Now that they are finding runs again...

    Fucking Aussies. Never down for long.

    He was meant to be carrying drinks. Stoinis had a last minute injury

    The partnership between Khawaja and Handscomb was great. They didn't panic.. which is unusual for recent Australian sides. Also unusual was Khawaja having two good scores in a row

    Turner's inning was fun but he did benefit from the wheels falling off Inida's fielding

    Ashton Turner has been putting a few runs in during BBL I'm told.

    Has an ODI average of 105 now.

    So we won the series 3-2 after trailing 2-0 - apparently never done against India in India before in a 5-match series or some shit. Anyway, here is the message conversation between me and a mate starting last night:

    10PM last night
    Me: "Fuck just turned on the cricket - that isn't enough runs"

    7AM today
    Him: "Turns out it was. India sucked"
    Me: "Myes. And ten years ago I would have said 'Of course - fucking STRAYA mate' but these days I just think 'bookie'"
    Him: "Ah. Yes."

    That's my thinking at the moment - we've been slapped around for too long to think otherwise. Having watched the "Moments" in the Indian run chase, I must say there is some interesting shot selection, particularly the two stumpings.

    Pitch was a bit of a nightmare though. I watched the first 20 overs or so and the comms were insistent that 250 would be a pretty tough score to chase. Or maybe they were in on it too.

    Nice to see Usman finding form. Winning an ODI series in India without Warner and Starc is pretty impressive.
