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

[Meet]

Australia will be thinking that they were 20 runs shot i don't think you can challenge Indian team with just 260 on the board and remember Indian bowling is not World's greatest so you have to score a big big total

Its the pitch, the pitch!
Motera's pitch have been to slow and its not the pitch where you can score 300-350's.
250-275 is pretty comparative hee at Motera with this kind of pitch, its just that aussie's bowling have not been up to the mark.

Alright Lee, let's hear that sweet death rattle of Tendulkar's stumps.

At the same stage Aussies were 70/1 so Indians are just 6 ahead of them.if Aussies chip in some quick wickets then this match can be interesting

 

[Aussie Team]

100th century booked for ST.

Match-fixing

 

[AkshayS]

Congrats to master for completing 18000 runs, more than the ton I'm expecting him to leave India in a very very very comfortable position before getting out.

as I've said over the course of this world cup, their bowling has been under-rated. khan and singh are excellent ODI bowlers, even if singh hasn't been a fantastic wicket taking threat, he's still hard to get away.

they have as good part-time options than anyone with most of the batting line up able to bowl competently (though I am confused why raina wasn't used more, given yuvraj's left arm spin was so effective)

yeah, they have problem with a second seamer but apart from that, it's ok. not good but it's average.

It will be interesting to see how australia cope only having one spinner. how many overs is dussey expected to bowl?

 

[Paki007]

What the Fling is Gambhir doing? certainly living on edges

 

[AkshayS]

did anyone else notice sehwag was not in his usual self ?
very intense looking , timid shots and looking tired overall....
probably due to the knee injury.

Agree to that.
Well Gamby should be more careful, living on edges surely. Not looking at his best.
Lee craked a 157 KPH.

i didn't say that India's bowling is bad but look Teams like india have scored 296 against South Africa which is rated so high in bowling so Comparatively India's bowling is not that good so Aussies didN'T put pressure on Indian bowling

 

[AkshayS]

Wo wowowo
No need to do that Tendulkar, just got away with that.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Tait is back and so does his wide

 

[Paki007]

May be he's getting too excited

 

[AkshayS]

Great innings from Tendulkar, doing the right thing and carrying the innings really well. Solid 50 there.
