Group F - Australia, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka

But with 5 pace bowlers, we have gone back to the dark ages.

We've had it the whole tournament no way they are changing now. Clark certainly won't be dropped nor does he deserve to, he just keeps getting wickets. Now a 4th, hopefully he can take Gillespie both bowling figures.

What a mess !! Sri Lanka tried to do same thing as SA tried at the world cup.
Dismal Mentality !

 

[angryangy]

No, we've had 4 the whole tournament, now they'd added Watson. He's obviously in as a batsman, but if Sri Lanka had batted well, he would have had to play a serious role.

If they didn't care, they'd work the rotation. They do care and this strategy is really concerning. Hilf and Hogg don't deserve the walling out, Johnson scarcely deserves to be there and even Michael Clarke's only value in this tournament has been as a fielder.

Wow SL are getting owned, and I can't watch

Go Aussies!

True, this is what Watson needed. He has been whacked around when the pressure is on but like Clark he can pick up wickets which you don't expect.

well the aussie always wanted and allrounder like freddie..now u have one shane watson..

ie always injured

 

[aussie1st]

Selectors need to move on from Watson. Give him 2 years to get himself sorted he gets injured every game these days!

 

[harishankar]

Sri Lanka were just not in it from the start.

Well, this is what happens in T20. THey couldn't settle down to rebuild the innings at any time because they had to keep going for runs and in the end lost it completely.

The early morning start is unfairly benefitting one side at the cost of the other. Doesn't make for good viewing. Having said that Australia used the conditions well.

 

[irottev]

Hayden and Gilchrist going nuts. Batting paradise. Sri Lanka havn't shown up yet. Looks like Aussies make the finals

I love hearing that Fernando commentator when SL are getting thrashed. He is the most biased commentator i've heard.

About Watson, Aussies need to give up on him. At least for a year. And people say Shane Bond is bad with Injuries. At least he isn't the worst.

 

[aussie1st]

Awesome way to end the match with that 6 by Hayden. I see he is once again the top run scorer for a WC tournament. That loss to Pakistan has given us the tough game against SA in the semis assuming Pakistan win today.

 

[Gunner786]

jaya fails again when it comes to big matches.

5,0,0

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

We are into Semis i hope we get this Watson back in Semis Without Ponting the team was more good today Bolwing department was great

 

[Cricketman]
