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

[Jayzamann]

Warner has proven himself to be a blistering outfielder for Delhi, carrying over here, too.

As I type he pinches one from deep point after fielding one at deep cover the ball before. Insane.

 

[Jono]

Well played Australia. Far too good.

Disappointed in India though. Really shattering to see this.

 

[Ilovecric]

Well India have no chance on run rate now ... I don't see how they advance from this group without alot of luck.

 

[TT Boy]

Biggest defeat in 20/20 by runs?

 

[King Pietersen]

Really wish Scaly was Indian. Would be so entertaining to read his thoughts on an innings like this. Pathetic batting from India.

 

[Teja.]

I pity Sunny, really. His soul must have just puked.

Australia at the hands of England?

Scrap that. Sri Lanka beat Kenya by 172 runs.

This is almost farcical. At this rate India is going to have a hard time topping Afghanistan's score of 80

Oh I remember that game now. Sri Lanka tend to make merry against Kenya whatever the format.

 

[Sir Alex]

Lol @ going in with 2 pacers on the fastest and bounciest wicket we've encountered in ages.

Called it. To be honest, it doesn't take a Nostradamus to predict how we'd go against quality pace bowling on such a track with only one player who can really play the pull. And that guy curiously demoted himself to No.6 today.

I didn't have any high hopes of India doing good with such a bunch. To outsmart Aus on this pitch would've been the equivalent of Aus chasing down 300 on the last day of a test match on a Mumbai dust bowl.

I am glad this has exposed how ill equipped Raina is when it comes to facing short bowling. He's been playing International cricket for 5 years now, and if he still can't correct it, then he doesn't belong in the test side. Period.

I don't care whether they crash out of the World Cup in this round, or go on to win it.

 

[Jono]

India need to beat WI and Lanka and hope Australia win all 3 games right?

 

[GraemeSmith]

I pity Sunny, really. His soul must have just puked.

Gavaskar is the same guy who batted for 60 overs in a one day game and scored a grand total of 35 runs. So maybe he's not the best guy to use an an example in the context of a T20 game.

 

[Spark]

Dear me. Self-immolation by the Indians to a man and utter ruthlessness from Aus.

 

[Jayzamann]

There's just no let up. If it isn't one thing, it's another.

ed: that six in the middle of the two fielders was pure class. Rohit proving some proficiency against short pitched bowling.

 

[Jono]

At least my boy Rohit is showing he can actually play short bowling.

**** you Jadeja.

 

[Spark]

Shout out for Sharma here. Only batsman who has actually looked remotely comfortable (and sane)

 

[Burgey]

Oh please Clarkeh, Tait to bowl to Harbhajan. Please.

Sharma batting very well here. Watson needs a haircut urgently.

 

[AlanJLegend]

Jadeja's running was hilarious. Still don't understand why he decided to run diagonally.

 

[Spark]

Oh please Clarkeh, Tait to bowl to Harbhajan. Please.

Sharma batting very well here. Watson needs a haircut urgently.

Are you like on a telepathic line to him?
