Mar 24 - Australia v India (Quarter-Final 2)

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

That was a bloody knick

Tbh it did look like it deviated but if you watched the slo-mo replay, the ball didnt change its revolution after passing through bat nor there was a sound. Pretty hard for umpire to give that.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Tait, ffs do pitch the bowl in right area. First ball short pitched and then wide

 

[Sedition]

Their luck will run out soon enough

Bit surprised at an apparent lack of aussie acceleration. After 30 overs they were 138/2, they ended 260/6. Now while that may not be bad, it isn't that close to the 276 total that the "double the score at 30 overs" rule of thumb might predict.

That was White's fault. Dave there instead would've gotten us to 276.

Not the way their middle/lower order have crumbled previously vs SA and West indies in the tournament. If aus can get an early break through there will be huge pressure.

For me Aus favorites for now.

they crumbled setting a total. I've always felt the last 10 overs are markedly different whether you're chasing or setting. Setting a total you're putting pressure on yourself, chasing you know exactly what you have to do. India may lose it in the last 10, who knows? but I think India have a chance to win it without relying on going up a gear in the last 10.

Also in the last 20 overs, with 8 wkts in hand, if they had played like T20 they could have got to about 300 odd.

( However, some aspect to be considered here is, Pitch being 30 overs old.....type of bowlers back in attack with old ball.....

Still they could have played like T20 considering its a knockout game )

@ WC - Now dont cry over not a wicket delivery!! That was clearly not out!!

Also we are playing against a cheating side so I wont mind cheating!!

Also hope so we end up with 80 90 odd runs at the end of 15 overs with no loss

 

[mohit_dude10]

Why do they show free-hit in such odd camera angles, can't even see it properly.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Take out Tait and put Mitch in. We need to get few wickets.

 

[Sedition]

Yeah India's got this under control with Tait bowling like Tait.. just hope he can finish this over.

 

[Prithvi]

Take out Tait and put Mitch in. We need to get few wickets.

You know what, if you want to finish the match by 21:00 or so, get in Mitch . We'd hit him sixes, not fours like what is going on now .

 

[aussie1st]

Bowlers don't look threatening, runs flowing, just as I feared this all or nothing bowling attack could be our downfall.

 

[Sedition]

tweaking extras are going to top score at this rate
