Semi Finals and Finals

****.. Superb catch from Yuvraj, Hodgey wasn't even able to believe that he is gone.

 

[GGG]

How the heck can they tell how far a ball goes once it leaves the stadium.

 

[Arjun]

Should they bring back RP Singh or Sree from the other end until Hayden is gone?

 

[The_Bunny]

India need a wicket..
6 overs or so of Haydos and Symonds and the game could be as good as gone.

 

[pup11]

I hope both these Queenslanders can do the job for Australia.

Singh started to look easy meaat towards the end of his spell, Sreesanth the only one that looked threatening.

They've been measuring distances of home runs in baseball for ages, so it can't be that difficult. Basically you could work it out with some maths if you knew the speed, trajectory etc.

 

[Bahnz]

I know its a long way out, and theoretically its pretty evenly balanced at the moment, but I really don't think India will win this match.

Harbhajan might be a tough bowler to hit on this pitch, but Australia needs to target everyone now.

It would actually be very easy (high school physics), but it wouldn't be that accurate unless they take wind into account, as the ball is significantly affected by wind in a stadium. Especially in certain structures in which wind swirls around a bit, making the calculations very difficult to do prediction wise. Obviously the best way would be to actually measure the ball, rather than predict based on trajectory and speed.

It seems to be a bad match for stock bowlers in both teams...

If you track the trajectory far enough you could get a good enough estimate of the affect of the wind on the ball.

 

[GGG]

Yeah wind, humidity and altitude.

 

[silentstriker]

Australia not looking even remotely worried. This is not good for India. Aussies are almost half way through the total already.

 

[pup11]

Aussie... Aussie... Aussie... ROY... ROY... ROY...

 

[Arjun]

Harbhajan needs to attack the batting. Flight it, loop it, but get that wicket! The stock bowlers won't be of much help, it's up to him to strike. Even Afridi attacks more.

 

[pup11]

Singh is really turning the screws as far as controlling the run-rate is concerned, he has 2 more overs to go so Aussies would have to find some way to get him away for some runs.

 

[Dissector]

*Sigh* Chawla could have won India the game. As it is I don't see how Sharma's 3 other overs will be anything other than a disaster.

 

[Arjun]

Sehwag gets the ball. A wicket? More six-balls? Wait and watch.

 

[silentstriker]

Aussies can just have 1-2 big overs and its over. We can't get eight wickets in eight overs and our medium pacers can't play contain..and Sharma is just beyond useless.
