*Official* Quarter Final 2 - India v Australia

[stephen]

This match tonight is a flashpoint in the careers of Ponting, Nielsen and Hildick.

On top of the Ashes debacle, an exit tonight would be fatal for at least two of the aforementioned.

It would just create an unstoppable momentum.

All the chips are on the table tonight.

A loss tonight would also make my post-Ashes review one of the most anticipated sporting documents released in quite some time.

I never knew you were doing a post-Ashes review

I'm just looking forward to those with free-to-air realising the game is delayed.

Is this live on Pay TV in Aus. Looks like it's only on 3 hours later on 9

Aha, you are being my victim number one!

I shall be watching on Zen Sports, with a friend, or maybe two friends.

 

[biased indian]

if we want to win it today... there is only one possibility of it happening

Win toss + bat first + score 350 runs before 46th over

 

[Spark]

I am so confused right now.

This game has a big 'high scoring cliffhanger' banner all over it.Which is kind of sad since a low scoring cliffhanger is much more fun.Hopefully it's the latter.

 

[Spark]

TBH any sort of cliffhanger would be an immeasurable improvement on yesterday.

Why has Nath adopted a new persona?

 

[smash84]

I'd give a highlights package of our World Cup feats but It may need to be delivered in a DVD bundle

Tough one this, I kind of want both teams to win in a funny way (Australia, because it would be hilarious watching how ridiculously ott the reaction of the Indian media would be, and India because it would be even more hilarious watching how ott the same media's reaction would be to a loss to Pakistan in the semi's).

Given the pitch is meant to offer a bit of turn, I have to say India.

lol..........yeah I wonder what the Indian media's reaction will be if India lose any of these matches????

This game is awesome. Win-win from situation where I'm sitting.

same here. Even though Pakistan is through to the semi finals for the first time in 12 years and there has been a lot of dancing on the streets last night but still people are looking forward to today's match.

TBH any sort of cliffhanger would be an immeasurable improvement on yesterday.

Brett Lee, Shaun Tait and Mitchell Johnson is the key for Aussies.. Just back of a length could make bog difference in Indian batting line..

Who is this Nath? I am Precambrian.

You'll fit in here come 8 o'clock tonight then.

May the best side win and both sets of fans enjoy the ride.

Can't see that happening like but thought i'd say it anyway.

No real personal feelings on this one, seeing Australia lose would be funny, but not as funny as seeing thousands of Indians crying and going quiet. What the hell, go Aussies.

haha......yeah........I can't say which side I am on but can only imagine the storm that the indian media will create if India lose.........that would be fun..........

 

[Burgey]

What the hell, go Aussies.

Quoted and should be sigged.

 

[Jono]

Well I won't be in this thread tonight, so good luck to both teams. Obviously I'm hoping for an Indian win but importantly, let's hope we have a memorable match. A thriller would be nice.

Hopefully the next time I check this thread it won't have deteriorated.

Please just ignore the trolls and don't ruin the thread

Go India!

Indian on the back of Sachin's 100 hundred scores 316/7 Kohli and Pathan chipping in with 50's of contrasting styles. Munaf pies brings Ponting back in to form his 143 takes Australia on the brink.Aus needs 11 to win of 17 ball with 4 wickes left Zaheer gets an astonishing hatrick to put India back in it. Tait and Davus Hussey takes Aus closer Tait gets run out with the scores tied.ICC decides both sides not good enough to play Pakistan hence disqualifies both the teams Pakistan marches to the Final in Mumbai.

Just my 2 cents on the game.

Good man

CARN STRAYA.

May India be the losing team

So Sehwag replaces Pathan. The change that I supported earlier. Hope Raina gives a little bit of stability down the order that Pathan was not able to give.
