Isaac Marshall: "AUS have a really good chance at the 2020 WC at home with a potential T20 team of Warner, Finch, Smith, Lynn, Handscomb, Maxwell, Stoinis, Cummins, Starc, Fawad and Behrendorff with Short, Turner, Zampa and Tye on the bench maybe"

Ravindra Shenoy: "It's better that Dhoni retires respectfully rather than shamefully, he has been hogging strike and creating undue pressure on the batsman on the other side. Even in Australia his strike rate was below 80. He will be India's liability for the World Cup. I don't understand how Umesh Yadav gets a nod despite being the only bowler who is wayward and leak runs. "

8.35pm Rahul's fifty on return to the side apart, not much for India to cheer about. Even on a pitch painfully slow where shot-making got harder and harder, India have fallen well short of a competitive total, managing only 61 in the last 12 overs. Australia stuck to their task, with the quicks banging the ball on a length as it was sticking in the surface. Zampa did his job with the wicket of Kohli that shifted momentum, which India were never able to regain. Dhoni was left stranded with a long-tail, having to refuse singles but also struggling to find the boundary himself. Back with the chase soon

Ranjan Gulati: "Polite Enquiry: A Collapse happens because Dhoni plays slow or Dhoni plays slow because collapse happens?"

Bhaskar: "Sick and tired of this responsible, calculated batting of Dhoni. We just want him go full throttle. Can he be irresponsible for once?"
