Looks like they've found a gem in Manish Pandey. After Rohit Sharma got out I didn't give them a chance of chasing it down. Good to see MMarsh get a ton after waiting all summer. His final over was funny. Got dicked on a wide call by the umpire (that was seriously harsh live and on replay looked wrong), then hit for six by Dhoni, effectively handing them the game, then got him out next ball.
Some insane stats from the series. First of all, the highest-ever run aggregate for a five-match ODI series. But a few of my favourites: Sharma scoring 441 runs at 110.25. Kohli, with two tons and two fifties, only got 381 at 76.2 (and jesus christ is he becoming one of my fav players ever. Love his cunt, for lack of a better word.) For the Aussies Steve Smith led the way with 315 at 63, with Warner and Bailey also passing 200, but MMarsh ended up with the best average: 82.
But it's the bowling stats that make me giggle most. In five games (so a total of 100 possible wickets) there was a grand total of 55 wickets taken (I'm actually surprised it was that high.) John Hastings was the only man to crack double figures with 10 at 21.50 econ 5.65 (amazing, Jadeja, Bumrah, Hazlewood, Paris and Maxwell were the only other bowlers to have a sub-6 SR out of 22). Ishant Sharma (nine at 28), Kane Richardson (six at 29.5, thanks to his five-wicket haul that he got courtesy of Hasto) and Bumrah were the only other bowlers to have an average below 40. Insane.
