Semi Finals/Final - Australia, Sri Lanka, England and Pakistan

[Faisal1985]

Seriously they couldn't arrange a better set of people to play the Pak national anthem that is so messed up....in the beginning i couldn't tell if it was Australia's or Pakistan's anthem...

Aussies win the toss. Pakistan to bat.

Not sure that's a bad thing. I reckon a lot of the Aussies success has come from teams being forced to chase a total and play shots at balls they should maybe be leaving.

If Pakistan can put a competitive total up, it'll be interesting to see how they chase. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have had the Aussies in major trouble, that they've done well to recover from, but there's a difference rebuilding when you're setting as opposed to chasing.

Great first over that from KAkmal.

Just not very confident of our batting ability on a moist pitch against this bowling.

 

[Furball]

Brain fade from Tait there.

 

[GraemeSmith]

I would like to see Pakistan win just for the comedy and the lulz. Australians are going to be devastated if Pak manages to knock them out.

 

[Faisal1985]

i don't get it why was that not a no ball the 2nd bouncer in that over... seriously WTF...

Disappointed yes, devastated, no.

I think you'll find that most Australians couldnt give a toss either way

Thought was out there.....lol no one appealed...

 

[Furball]

**** off Watson.

 

[Nate]

Smith to be awesome.

 

[NUFAN]

Australia are in deep, deep trouble. We need a run out...

I called this months ago, a 3 all out and out pace attack wont always help Australia in the West Indies.

When the wicket is slow, as a batsmen ur always looking for raw pace since it comes on the bat just perfectly.

This is a pitch for spinners and cutters, but Pakistan play spin really well. So good luck aussies.

 

[Jayzamann]

That looked like a mis-hit from Pedro. Got all excited for a bit there

From CI:

Mansoor: "Looks like Aussies are waiting for Pakistan to self-destruct. They are just surprised that they haven't done that already."

 

[Furball]

With regards to the flexibility this start now gives Afridi, surely Umar should come in next?

 

[King Pietersen]

That was a real pie from Watson. Looked like he hadn't bowled a delivery for weeks, which is weird, seeing as he's already bowled an over in this game. Was a slow, half tracker that deserved to go for 6. Nice shot from Akmal though all the same.

Pfffttttt. They're not even at eight-an-over. Not worried yet.

EDIT: Lol at Clarke taking Smith off after one bad over. Good faith shown there, cap'n.
