00:00Good day everybody, welcome to the start of the VB Series, Australia and India.
00:05Old rivalries these, and plenty of people already arriving here at the Wacker Ground.
00:13Conditions to bowl too, there's a bit of humidity and a bit of moisture around it.
00:17Nice piece of time. Wide mid on for a couple.
00:25Straight and played beautifully.
00:27Might have hit that one better.
00:29Normally very fast the outfield here at the Wacker, and that's going to get there.
00:35That's off the glove and over the top.
00:38Four more.
00:42Beautifully played. Top of the bounce.
00:45And that's four.
00:50No fine leg, but it's gone square and half and it's out.
00:53Very good piece of bowling, even better piece of captaincy.
00:56It's in the air slightly, but he's found the gap again.
01:03Look at Warner go here.
01:04Will he get there? No.
01:06Gee, he tried his best.
01:07They're going to make some big totals.
01:08So far the starter, well, look at that.
01:11That's gone back past the bowler before he had time to react.
01:19That's a very nice 50.
01:20Robert Sharma's played some of the finest innings in one day cricket all around the world in the last couple of years.
01:27And he looks set for another.
01:32What's safe?
01:36Surprise, I think, from Faulkner.
01:38You don't expect a short pitcher from him.
01:40Big.
01:44Robert Sharma's taken it high in the air.
01:47And it's got enough on it.
01:50They'll be targeted.
01:52Like that?
01:54That's exactly what we're talking about.
01:57Yeah, it's a flick, isn't it?
01:58He comes down.
01:59He did that so easily.
02:00That top edge it is.
02:05It's probably top edge-ish.
02:08Gee, he's got some timing on it.
02:10Brett Coley goes to 55.
02:16Slash in the air, too.
02:18Over the top of Backwood Point.
02:21And into the ruck.
02:22Go over the top.
02:23Will he go over the top?
02:25Oy!
02:26And off he does.
02:27He doesn't need Hoffer.
02:30He doesn't need it.
02:34Glides it for his ninth hundred.
02:39Tries to go onside.
02:40Gets a fair bit on it, too.
02:42All the way.
02:45Good grab, too.
02:47A one-hander in the crowd.
02:50There it is.
02:52That's more like it.
02:55It's fine.
02:56It could be four more.
02:57Will be four more.
02:59Is this the big over?
03:00Here's that in the gap.
03:04Four more.
03:05Good over.
03:07He's got that fine.
03:08That'll be four.
03:10Ladder overs of a game.
03:13Oh, that'll be four.
03:14That's absolutely smacked through the offside.
03:17That's smashed, but straight to the fieldsman.
03:23Aaron Finch, very good pair of hands.
03:26Doesn't drop many.
03:27That was nicely struck from Coley, that he picked out Aaron Finch, who saves six and dismisses
03:34the heir apparent.
03:35Over his head.
03:39It'll be six.
03:41And that's what Dhoni does so well.
03:44Oh, there's the ramp.
03:46Don't you love it?
03:47Don't you love those shots?
03:49Long off.
03:50Deep cow corner.
03:51All they're thinking about.
03:52Oh, as Rowe, it's just gone massive over mid on here.
03:55Scotty Bolin must have missed his mark by a yard.
03:59He's 149, Sharma.
04:02And make that 150.
04:03One of those classy knocks you'll see at the Wacker.
04:12This one will go for six as well.
04:14Can you believe that?
04:16That's hit low on the bat.
04:18You're using the pace of the ball.
04:21Oh, good take, yeah.
04:22That's a really good take.
04:24And it's Boland.
04:26He's just finished in over.
04:27He'd be thinking about a couple of bad deliveries.
04:30And then he's able to take off a beauty.
04:33His first catch at this level.
04:37So he's come up the order as well to finish off.
04:39Because he's seen as the hitter.
04:41And that's the first ball.
04:43So Fortner back over the wicket to the left-hander.
04:47And he goes straight over the head of Wade.
04:49It wasn't planned to go there.
04:51I reckon that's sailed for six.
04:53Has it carried?
04:54Has it carried?
04:56Oh, just bounced in front of the rope.
04:58Stiff.
04:59So close.
05:00It half-vollied the rope.
05:02It didn't hit the rope.
05:05Oh, no.
05:06Not the low fully.
05:07Not another one.
05:10Not the low fully.
05:13Final ball.
05:14And a good one.
05:15There's the Yorker.
05:17And that will complete the innings for India.
05:20A sensational start to the one-day international set of five.
05:25It's three for 309.
05:30Oh, he's almost chopped that on.
05:32Bit of luck there for Finch.
05:34It's the first boundary for Australia.
05:38Oh, that's brilliant.
05:40Absolutely brilliant from the big quick.
05:43That came back like a rocket and he's hung on to it.
05:45It gets a wicket on debut and what a way to do it.
05:55Out.
05:58Out.
05:59Good bowling from Schramm.
06:00He's got both openers.
06:02Finch and now Warner.
06:04Oh, yeah.
06:08This one's better.
06:09Don't bowl there.
06:10A few.
06:13As he goes straight down the ground again.
06:15Beautiful swing of the bat.
06:17That's his area.
06:18That's where he hits the ball.
06:19That's what we've been talking about.
06:2450 for George Bailey.
06:26That's what matters right now.
06:27Very confident innings.
06:30And he looks like a man who's just setting out on his work.
06:32Steve Smith is on 49 and that'll be 50.
06:38I don't think you're going to see too much of a celebration here.
06:44As Bailey smacks it out of the park.
06:49Terrific stroke.
06:51As easy as you like.
06:53Nudging it round.
06:55Waiting for that ball to smash it to the boundary.
06:57There it is.
06:58There it is for Smith.
07:01He'll come on after this.
07:02It's over.
07:03Go all the way.
07:04Another one down the ground.
07:06Yeah, it's smart batting.
07:10Smashed away.
07:12It's a short and pretty ordinary delivery.
07:15And it got the full treatment from George Bailey.
07:19Away through the offside.
07:22You cannot give a player of Steve Smith's class that sort of width.
07:28No one there.
07:29Field awareness has always been magnificent from Steve Smith.
07:36Single.
07:38He might come back.
07:39He's going to come back.
07:41George Bailey goes to 100.
07:42Wonderfully played.
07:53Walks across his stumps.
07:54He doesn't care where his stumps are.
07:57He knows how to rack up hundreds.
07:59That's his second against India in three knocks.
08:02And he's gripped.
08:05Oh, Steve Smith's found some leverage.
08:10Wow.
08:11That was straight at us.
08:14That is a blow.
08:15Oh, out he comes.
08:19Good timing.
08:20And brilliantly caught.
08:22Bhuvaneshla Kumar had a lot to do and made it look easy.
08:26Yeah, well, that's a shame for Bailey.
08:28It was so close to being another six.
08:31Oh, I go in the air.
08:36The fielder's coming around.
08:38Catches it.
08:39Chicka Darwin.
08:41Glenn Maxwell might have an appointment with Darren Lehman.
08:46Sliced into the same gap.
08:48Can't chase that.
08:51Might in the win.
08:52Funnier things have happened, Tubbs.
08:54But I just can't see it happening here.
08:55Oh, no, he's got it.
08:56First ball.
08:59Here we go.
09:01The captain's got to go.
09:02He's chipped it straight to Virat Kohli.
09:05He's going to depart on 149.
09:07Australia still have two to win.
09:09Unbelievable.
09:11We've got it all up on the offside.
09:13That's a wide.
09:14It'll be a wide, that.
09:15Yeah, that's a wide.
09:17But the score's a level.
09:19Here we go.
09:20One to win.
09:22And there it is.
09:24Mid on back.
09:24I'm surprised to see that.
09:26That's a victory for Australia.
09:27And what a run chase.
09:30The second highest run chase here in Australia to win a match.
09:33A one-day match.
09:34Steve Smith was superb for 149.
09:37As was George Bailey.
09:39And Australia go 1-0 up in the series.
09:40drawing in the XFW Moss.
