Yep they agreed to a draw, didn't even bother seeing out the last session

Boring

[one-eyed]

Well our ODI batting is on par with our Test team in India. Went from 2/129 in the 19th over to all out for 188 in just 35 overs. We left 15 overs on the table .

Our bowling wasn't much better. Got back into the game with India 5/89 but then didn't take another wicket  .

Aussies win the second ODI in a canter to level the series 1-1. 

India 117 all out after just 26 overs. Starc 5/53, Abbott 3/23, Ellis 2/13.

Aussies 0/121 in just 11 overs. Marsh 66* (36) and Head 51* (30).

Ridiculous catch. It's no fluke though as Smith has taken these a few times before.

Sensational.

Such a shame about the sandpaper crap.

He'll go down as a great player but if not for that fiasco I do wonder what heights he would have reached. Probably another thousand test runs etc.

Green top pitch and overcast conditions. Looks like a bowl first wicket.
