00:00Good evening everybody and welcome to the open house party that Adelaide is
00:05throwing for all Australia. Yup, we're at the Adelaide Oval. They are pouring into
00:09this cricket ground. Tens and tens of thousands of them to come and see two of
00:14the great cricketing nations. Both of them celebrating a special day. Australia Day
00:18of course here and Republic Day over in India. It will be a splendid evening. The
00:25first of three T20 matches, Australia and India. First runs. Could well be four. Look at that timing.
00:33He's been in great form, Rohit Sharma. It's up in the air. Five legs under it. He's got not enough room.
00:42That's six. It's all the way.
00:48That's a sublime shot. He's a class player this guy, Rohit Sharma.
00:54And he's down there again. The fine leg. And this time he doesn't get there.
01:00Oh, now Cameron Boyce this is running backwards. Not easy. And he doesn't get it either.
01:07It's a tough catch for Cameron Boyce. He's ran back well, but then twisted, turned.
01:13Couldn't quite get it right.
01:16Now he chips on away on the onside. That'll be four.
01:18And he's got him this time. Straight to Faulkner.
01:25Shane Watson into the attack and removes the dangerous Sharma.
01:32Oh, he's got him. Shane Watson's got two. He's got both openers. Beautiful slower ball from Watson.
01:37Slashed away. And it's going to race away.
01:46Oh, just misses. He put himself into leg slip and it nearly came off.
01:54Coley comes down and just shells it over extra cover for four.
01:58Teresh Reiner comes down and gets it over. Just.
02:05The crowd is certainly into this.
02:07High component of Indians loving shots like that.
02:11He's sort of had a moral victory there, Cameron Boyce.
02:19Oh, that smashed square of the wicket. And it beats the fielder.
02:26Oh, it's short again. Warner's got to go left. He's giving it up.
02:31Like that. How'd help? And then a bit of prayer.
02:34That cheers for a 50. And it's coming 32 balls.
02:46Backs away. Gets driven. It's well positioned as well.
02:49The placement is unbelievable.
02:53Full flourish on the leg side. One bounce and it's four again.
02:57This is Tate's fourth and final over.
02:59And he goes the first one. He goes it hard. He takes it for six, Coley.
03:09Oh, it's got a million miles in the air.
03:11And that will be into the grandstand.
03:14Falling down supporters over that side.
03:20Coley just moving that easily to the onside for four.
03:25He goes to 82.
03:29And there's a wicket. So there is some joy at the end for Faulkner.
03:33And he's able to achieve that because he got that ball up there.
03:39Very accurate. And with good deception.
03:45Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
03:46Get out of here.
03:48That's just another six of the day. The first ball in your face, thank you.
03:53That one will go for four. Nearly six.
03:57Muscles it to the onside. They will come back for two.
04:04And that's where it'll stay. 90 for Coley. Brilliant once again.
04:09Donny 11. Great job.
04:13Three for 188 is the score.
04:18Fit straight away. Finds the boundary, I reckon.
04:21First ball, none for four.
04:22Over cover. Yeah, does it well. Two bounces. That's a really good shot.
04:32Straight. Man's got a chance, has he?
04:35Not quite. Jadayja was the man there.
04:40Ah, that's better. That's really good for Maren Fitch.
04:44Oh, all the way.
04:47Warner's got that to a gap as well.
04:49Boundary's a shorter square. And he's got enough on it. Yes.
04:54Oh, that's out of mile. Look out.
05:00Oh, the fireworks.
05:05Oh, inside out. It's got enough on it to get the boundary, I think. Yeah, just.
05:09Like that. Over mid off this time.
05:16That's better for Maren Fitch. Brilliant.
05:18Oh, hello. That's out. Yeah, that's the end of Anganoana.
05:23That's a terrible blow for the Australians. Don't underrate this fella. And a long leg.
05:29But there's nobody there.
05:31Smith is on the pre-med and he's very good at it.
05:34I don't know why I should say Chris Lin and Travis.
05:36It's Lin fast. Oh, it's a beautiful stroke. What's more, it's worth the maximum.
05:40Go fetch it. Two.
05:47That's a nice shot.
05:50Yeah, mate, yeah. Not now.
05:52There it is. You commentate for us, mate. You've got it covered. You've got the bird's eye view.
05:56Steve Smith is out.
06:12And he's unable to talk us through that, understandably.
06:16What a disappointment. 21 for Steve Smith.
06:19Yeah, he was just trying to work it into the leg side again.
06:26Turned the face on the bat just too early and chips an easy catch to Virat Kohli,
06:30who's really fired up.
06:33Oh, it's out!
06:34Maren is out!
06:37Whoa! It took Simon Fry a long time.
06:43It was almost identical to the ball before.
06:46This time Simon Fry could see where it pitched.
06:48He thought it pitched in line.
06:50And he's given it out. Finch is on his way.
06:54Let's have a look where it pitches. Is it in line?
06:57Probably is, you know.
07:01There's a big shout and that's out.
07:03No hesitation.
07:05And the local boy's got to go.
07:07Not sure.
07:10That's smashed all the way.
07:15That's gone straight up in the air.
07:16And the fieldsman coming around has latched onto it.
07:23This is what he does.
07:24This is one of the better hitters in world cricket.
07:27Believe me, that is a massive boundary.
07:30That ball's gone for miles.
07:34Oh, he smashed it straight to the man.
07:37He couldn't have picked him out any better.
07:38And this is another one of those high balls.
07:44A lot of time to think about this.
07:47Take it again.
07:49They are impeccable in the field, India tonight.
07:52Coley in particular.
07:56There we go.
07:57That's Faulkner.
07:59Now there's the six that was required.
08:01Faulkner.
08:02Now, not this time though.
08:05It's through.
08:09Here's another wicket.
08:10They're finishing it off nicely here, India.
08:12There's nothing else Richardson could have done other than go for the big shot.
08:20This should be the match.
08:22Should be India's.
08:23And is.
08:25On their Republic day, they have outplayed Australia.
08:30On Australia's day.
08:31On Australia's day.
