Group F (Super 8) - Sri Lanka, Australia, India, West Indies

[Briony]

Horrible innings from Mike Hussey.

 

[Bobisback]

Definitely bolted IMO. Pitch is definitely more lively than 15-20 sixes or whatever it is. Past games a reflection.

Good bowling though.

Raina, Vijay and Yuvraj the keys, could do it.

 

[Cruxdude]

Where the **** was all this bowling in the first 15 overs. ****heads. Really destroyed the game.

 

[Jayzamann]

Outstanding last 4 overs. Really put the brakes on any Australian charge. Could have been very very ugly for India there.

 

[pasag]

Very poor from the Huss. We're still favourites but lost a real opportunity to hit India out of the game in the past few overs.

 

[GraemeSmith]

Only 23 runs of the last 4. Minor choke from the australians combined with some decent death bowling.

 

[Burgey]

Got to love Harsha Bhogle. You can just tell he's a bee's dick away from declaring India on top here.

He probably should factor in that two of the last four overs were bowled by quicks who got their length right.

Was much better by India there at the end though. Just shows that if you get your length right you're a chance to contain things.

 

[Jono]

Happy with that come back. Aust still on top of course.

 

[GraemeSmith]

So does anyone think India should send Harbhajan or Pathan to open?

 

[Jayzamann]

Tendulkar is twittering back in India, so probably not.

 

[King Pietersen]

If they want to lose. Vijay and Gambhir offer far more opening.

 

[Bobisback]

Harbies 49 off 17 or whatever in the IPL was nuts, but cant see him doing anything against Australia's opening bowlers.

Gambhir to plod along at 120 while Vijay and Raina go nuts.

Hmm. Reckon you've got to back your batsmen tbh.

Would be fun to see Tait kill Harbhajan though.

[silentstriker]

I can't believe that annoying little prick is our only decent bowler.

And Tendulkar - retire from ODIs and play this TBH. That can be your WC dream. Neither format matters, this'll be easier on your body.

 

[honestbharani]

Man.. as I predicted, we have been mauled. All over bar the shouting for India, AFAIC..

 

[Burgey]

Haha, look at Tait shrugging his shoulders. Strikes me as a simple fella..

"Do what? Dunno skip.. Bowl quick. Whaddaya reckon?"

 

[GraemeSmith]

Jesus what the hell is Warner and Watson's problem?

 

[King Pietersen]

That was a jaffer from Nannes last delivery of the over. Pace, bounce and movement. Great to watch. Looking forward to seeing how Tait goes.

 

[Spark]

Good start.
