15th Match, Group F: Australia v India at Bridgetown

[King Pietersen]

Haddin gone. Pretty useless innings bar 1 shot. White should have come in at #4 tbh.

 

[MUFC1987]

Well now it's just wasted a few more balls really.

 

[aus_maestro]

Right, time to go haywire and bat em out of the game. Crucial few overs.

 

[Highlander999]

:laugh Indian bowlers are being made to look like amaeturs today. Class batting by the crims

 

[aussie1st]

Luckily he got that 6 so that his run rate was above 100. Haddin T20 record is poor hes lucky Paine is more of an opener and Wade isn't quite there.

 

[SaiSrini]

Good over that from Yuvraj, with the wicket of Haddin. Nehra will bowl two overs at the death. Hope he justifies his reputation of being good at the death.

 

[aussie1st]

Dussey 4 and out, that one went miles in the air but could tell it wasn't going into the stands.

 

[King Pietersen]

Dussey gone as well, but with Mussey, Smith and Clarke still to come this should be a mammoth total.

 

[TumTum]

If we don't get 200, i will be mad.

 

[MUFC1987]

This is the thing about T20 though, the difference between say 185 and 200 is relatively large, especially with India having so much batting. Australia still need to finish strongly for me.

 

[SaiSrini]

Well bowled Nehra. Some good overs coming in the last few from Yuvraj and Nehra. Two overs to go, and I think we can restrict them to less than 200.

 

[King Pietersen]

Nah. I'd bet they've already got enough tbh. Don't see India making many against Tait, Nannes and Johnson on a fairly quick and bouncy track like this.

 

[Akash00]

India should have played Vinay !

 

[MUFC1987]

Nah. I'd bet they've already got enough tbh. Don't see India making many against Tait, Nannes and Johnson on a fairly quick and bouncy track like this.

If they all bowl well, then you're probably right. But with Tait and Johnson being inconsistent, Smith inexperienced and Watson just being a bit plain and ordinary bowling wise, this is far from over for me. That's without even thinking about how good Gambhir, Dhoni and Yuvraj can be.

 

[King Pietersen]

Gambhir and Yuvraj possibly, but I don't rate Dhoni particularly highly in T20i's; doesn't have a great record anyway. I'd say Vijay and Raina are more dangerous than him in T20's. I'm backing Tait, Nannes and Johnson to rip through them personally.
