It is an indictment of how skewed the contest between bat and ball has become that for xxxx ODIs, no batsman broke the 200-run barrier and now three have done it in the last 467 matches. Rohit Sharma was the latest entrant to the club, after Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, and he hit 16 sixes - a world record - during a ransacking of Australia in the deciding match of a series that bowlers on both sides will be glad to leave behind. Incredibly, Australia lost because they were out of wickets and not time. India hit 19 sixes as they racked up 383; Australia replied with 326, the ninth time in 11 innings that a team passed 300 this series. And though they lost by a sizeable margin in the end, they did not lose the six-hitting contest. Australia matched India in raining blows over the Chinnaswamy Stadium's tiny boundaries and together they smashed the record for the most sixes in a one-day international. India and New Zealand had hit 31 in Christchurch in xxxx; India and Australia hit a numbing 38 today. And 29 balls remained unused. Vinay Kumar's 1 for 102 in nine overs were the worst figures by an Indian in an ODI; Glenn Maxwell and Shane Watson were close to owning the record for the quickest 50 by an Australian, and James Faulkner's 57-ball 100 was his country's fastest ODI century. It was hard to make sense of it all. The madness began with Rohit. For a batsman to have the opportunity of making a double-century in 50 overs, stars need to align, and they did today. Apart from the playing conditions that already favour run-making, George Bailey put India in on an easy-paced pitch and a Lilliputian outfield, the weather was cool and the humidity low, and Australia had sent home Mitchell Johnson, then lost Watson to injury in the middle of his spell, while their remaining bowlers sent down a variety of pies. Rohit had the necessary luck too, when on 120 he was dropped at deep square leg by the substitute Moises Henriques, who parried the ball over the boundary to worsen the six count. Rohit might have felt the need to compensate his team and the crowd for running out Virat Kohli, the hottest batting talent in India at the moment, for a duck. He and MS Dhoni plundered 167 runs off 94 balls for the fifth wicket. India scored 151 in the last ten overs, of which 101 came in the last five. Rohit had gone past 100 off 114 balls. And then he went past 200 off his 156th delivery. It was difficult to recall that Rohit had played the supporting act during his sixth century stand in 19 innings with Shikhar Dhawan, their third such opening partnership of this series. And that he had to overcome a testing period, when Dhawan was trapped lbw in the 19th over and Kohli run out in the next. Despite India having gone past 100 in 15.1 overs, a whole new level of carnage began from the 26th, when Rohit waylaid the spinners, launching Xavier Doherty and Maxwell repeatedly into the stands between square leg and long-on. When the quicks returned, they repeated their errors of bowling both sides of the wicket, and Rohit continued driving and flicking over the leg-side boundary, while also driving fours and sixes between point and long-off. His smooth stroke-play was in contrast to Dhoni's brutal blows, which included a helicoptered six that flew over the roof at long-on.At the start of the final over, Rohit was on 197. He brought up his double by driving Clint McKay over the cover boundary, and sent the next one over midwicket to claim the record for most sixes in an innings.When Australia had slipped to 74 for 4 in the 17th over of the chase, with Watson hamstrung in the dressing room, India looked like coasting to victory. But out came Maxwell, wielding his bat like a hammer. He hit his first ball for six, and then pillaged Vinay to sprint to 28 off 6 balls. He swiped and slugged his way to equalling Simon O'Donnell's 18-ball record for the fastest Australian half-century, and eventually fell for 60 off 22 deliveriesThen came the wounded Watson, his penchant for six-hitting increased by injury, his anger stoked by Dhawan's graceless mocking of his hobbling between the wickets. He too vandalised Vinay for 22 in an over, and was in the running to beat Maxwell and O'Donnell, before he was caught for 49 off 22 at short third man, off Dhoni's thigh. The most astonishing performance of the day, however, came from Faulkner, who added 115 runs with McKay for the ninth wicket. At one point, when the stand was worth 57, McKay had contributed no runs to it. He plundered Vinay, for 21 runs in an over, and moved from 35 off 29 balls to a century in the next 28 deliveries to beat Matthew Hayden's record for Australia's fastest century. While Faulkner hit fours and sixes seemingly at will, the Diwali crowd fell silent and had he had a proper batsman for company, Australia may have been able to pull off one of the most improbable chases. They needed only 67 off 48 balls when Ravindra Jadeja began to slow them down, first with a three-run over and then by bowling McKay with the final delivery of his spell. Faulkner then mis-hit the next ball, high into the night sky, and Dhawan, running fast to his right at deep midwicket, caught it superbly to give India the series 3-2.Now that a good series has been won and lost, its time to congratulate the many fine performers. Congrats to Rohit for maturing like a fine wine and for Kohli for stretching the sheer possibilities of batting. Congrats to Bailey on leading his side with a smile and with great example, to Watson for delivering consistently despite the constant brickbats from his own countrymen, and finally to young Faulkner for showing courage and ability. If fights against India in India are a true measure for any modern Aussie cricketer, then in Dave Warner, Bailey, Steve smith, Watson and Faulkner, Aussie have a good set of fighters to look forward to. Finally a big congrats to Bhuvi for being the best bowler on either side, to Faulkener for bowling intelligently in death, to Johnson for charging in against all odds and to Ashwin for coming back admirably after the pasting he got in the initial matches. Lastly on Indian bowling, Shami has shown great promise, he and Bhuvi should form our core attack. Though he has consistently and continuously lambasted for his lack of runs/centuries/consuistency, none of the real cricketing afficiandos have ever doubted Rohit's capability or his talent. That included Dhoni. Which is why, when several people kept cribbing that he was getting too many chances, that he was a journeyman, etc.they wereignored. It just needed a mindset change for Rohit to succeed at the highest level. The first time I saw him, I could see that here was a prodigious talent, capable of rewriting history books. A complete natural, with an unhurried approach to batting, he has at least three to four options to play a given ball. No doubt this has been undoing many times, but the very fact that he had it made him Special. NONE of the existing batsmen(in India and abroad) can compare to his ability. Rohit's biggest enemy is his temperament and fitness. I am delighted for him and in the days to come he will create history. We are fortunate to have a man of Rohit's calibre. What has changed since the 90's and the Noughties? It's not like the Chinnaswamy has magically gotten smaller all of a sudden. India has always produced flat decks for ODIs. So what has really brought about this change in batting results? The answer is multi-faceted:a) The IPL and the freedom of strokeplay that it demands. James Faulkner, Aaron Finch, Glenn Maxwell, Shane Watson, Mitchell Johnson, Steve Smith, Shaun Marsh are all IPL veterans. b) Batsmen are much much stronger these days. For e.g: M.S. Dhoni is easily as powerful as Sir Vivian Richards was in his pomp. c) Bowlers have not yet evolved to counter the above two points. People talk about Marshall and McGrath and Ambrose and Akram and Lillee and Pollock but even those gentlemen would've struggled against this new breed of champion batsmen. Yorkers are critical, which is why Shami was so hard to hit last night and also why McKay and Faulkner were taken to the cleaners. I am bit surprised reading the comments here.. Not that i disagree the sentiment on the whole. Nobody wants batting slugfest. An even contest between ball & bat is really appreciated & loved. But, I find it strange that the India team is being be littled after these performances. Most of the ppl here seem to already know & have decided that this breed of Indian batsmen are no good on so called "sporting" wicket. That is really not called for .. this is an young batting brigade.So far they have done quite well. Please give them their due. Again coming to better team, India was no doubt the better of the teams. At best, I can say Aussies are a just a shadow of their past. Just to site a few example ...I am not accustomed to see aussies dropping catches at crucial junctures. ( Rohit @120, Dhoni @ ~40 ). The way cricket is being played has changed entirely now. The mcgrath's/ambroses/wasim akram's of the world are all disappeared . Again, well done to Indian's. They deserved to win... Well, why is everyone complaining with the new format. Have you not been following SA Vs PAK? Australia also got the same field placements, they also went through the same format. If Australia did not win, you have an issue with that? They lost it fair and square. Once the batsmen is set there is nothing you can do, but wait till he makes a mistake. No one complains when teams play in Australia, where the grounds are bigger. No one complains to ICC that the ground is big. Every team plays, so what's different here. Indians played on the same ground so did Australia, they also got the same ground. If they could not make use of the conditions is that India's fault, ICC's fault or BCCI's fault? What's wrong with the dead/flat pitches? Other teams too play in AUS where they do not prepare dead/flat pitches, they prepare green top pitches where AUS excel. Shouldn't they prepare dead/flat pitches? Does India complain at that time and don't they lose those matches, think & talk. As a DIE HARD Indian supporter...I am sorry to say this...but this is NOT Cricket :( This is a mockery of cricket and bowling. 200s being made as if its a child's play, 100s being scored in 50-60 balls, 50s scored in 18-20 balls!! I'd rather prefer a competitive, low scoring, nail biting contest where a 100 over ODI yields 4-5 sixes max than THIS! Can someone bring back the last 90s and early xxxxs? RIP BOWLING! as shane warne said few months ago, there should be no field restrictions at all. then innovative captains will find a way to get the batsman out. only 4 fielders inside allows even average players to score boundaries, because of mindset change post IPL. remember indian pitches have always been flat, curators can't do anything about that due to the geography just like pak pitches are. but in test cricket they start spinning on 4th or 5th day. they don't play for that long in odi's. also 2 new balls have killed the reverse swing the fast bowlers used to get. So icc needs to fix the rules. india would have won this series on any type of odi surface IMO Terrible cricket! Rohit Sharma is talented, but clearly not good enough for international cricket (his record outside the Indian 'roads' clearly shows this). He needs 5 or 6 go's on the flattest tracks ever to make a stack of runs that dont mean anything. All the Indians can go round slapping each other on the back saying this is great, when really this is just killing cricket. Its supposed to be bat v ball!! Just fit all Indian grounds with bowling machines and be done with it.Here's a thought for the ICC to consider -- throw out all the current ODI rules like power plays, field restrictions, use of bouncers, wide balls outside leg stump, etc. Use the exact same rules as a test match. The only difference should be use of a single white ball per inning, colored clothing and of course limited overs. Let all of the other rules remain as in a test. That will give bring back some semblance of equality between bat and ball. Otherwise few years down the road, you may find that every cricketer wants to be a batsmen. Then who will bowl to them? Bowling machines? India edge sixathon with Rohit Sharma's 209
