Semi Finals

[Natman20]

Aus vs Srl for me although being a kiwi I would prefer to see Aus vs NZ

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Nope

 

[Will Scarlet]

I hope you're all right, otherwise NZ will need Styris to stop the collapse.

 

[Dick Rockett]

Or any of the other batsmen. Just saying.

 

[Will Scarlet]

I'm picking NZ to be 10/2 if we are asked to bat first in the semi; Fleming and Taylor out early.

And if Taylor falls cheap and NZ manage to win the semi, then what? It would be too late to bring in Marshall then.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Marshall is in great form either.

Give the guy a break. He scored 85 4 innings ago. OK ,so he's had 2 ducks since then but hardly cause for major concern

Yeah, hes due for a big one. Taylor will score 50+ tomorrow, mark my words.

He is due, and hopefully will produce. And the 85 was against Kenya.

Keep the faith . Remember this innings

 

[LA ICE-E]

why doesn't south africa have any specialist spinners? it's like almost every team have one except south africa

 

[Davey]

Uh-oh the pitch for NZ vs SL is going to be bouncy

we are doomed! nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Because they don't produce many. They have Robbie P in the squad, he's just not very good.

Benefits for both sides I'd say.

Batsmen from both sides are doomed , IMHO .

It will be a low scoring Semi Final . (like the Ireland v Pakistan game, I suspect )

It needs a few batsmen at the top to play the grafting long innings for the sake of their Team IMO, rather than the slap bang,wallop from Ball 1 .

Pakistan got that 349 at Sabina Park but besides that, it hasn't been too high scoring there during the WC. Bond and Vaas will be clean up there, imo. Not sure about Malinga though.

That was against a Zimbabwe bowling attack .

Indeed.

 

[Burgey]

Provided there's not too much sideways, what better pitch is there to play an ODI on than a bouncy one? Especially early on when yo ucan use the pace of the ball when the field is up.

Hey Jason. Congrats in advance

This is going to be your best shot at a second world cup my friend.
