3rd Quarter Final - Australia v Pakistan (20th March)

[hendrix]

Top 4 here get into next WC. The rest have to play off for the other spots.

Yup.

I mean if they're basing it on competitiveness that's the only logical solution.

The Pakistani batting has been so ****house it's unbelievable. Just one ton in the entire WC, that too against Ireland. 10 fifties in 7 games. Pathetic.

Yeah, the only sides in the WC who may have been worse are the non-Ireland associates.

 

[Primrose_D12]

Mid-to-back level.. far back enough that it was almost better to watch the screen.

Yikes. Well, NBA tickets do typically cost more than NHL tickets on average. Especially at MSG though. Which NBA team plays at MSG by the way? I forgot. I just know the Rangers play there in the NHL.

Saw Twatto's catch while I was at the bar, what a legendary man. Pity about how predictable this game has gone so far.

Better than New Zealand.

Rooting for Starc not to get wickets in his remaining 4 overs.

Only way we are doing it is bat first score 325+ and Defend it with good spin bowling from ashwin and jadeja....

aussies will just see out ashwin and jadeja, and hit out 2 of the seamers

 

[biased indian]

Brett Lee looks like not interested in that pulse question

Brett Lee quietly furious that his name isn't up for nomination.

chasing 325+ may be u can see out one bowler but not 2

Shami got 2 games left while starc has only one

 

[anil1405]

Has Starc fired up Wahab here?

 

[Howsie]

Must say id love to see Riaz bowl to Stac now haha

 

[GotSpin]

Considering that so many decisions seem to be based around maximising TV revenue they really should be flogging away the tickets to fill the ground up.

Doesnt look too bad here though but still. Its a Home QF

Daemon do your worst with the avatar

Since I'm such a nice guy, I'd hate to give you an avatar that betrays your love for NZ.

So with that in mind I decided on a compromise, I present to you, zombie/white walker Vettori

 

[Gnske]

Starc getting blown the **** out

If they have't lost wickets by the time the spinners are on, they will go after them for sure. Jadeja to Warner would be brutal for India. Ashwin to Maxwell would be nasty too. If we get those 2 cheaply, Aus won't make a target that is out of our reach. Then we have to deal with Starc. Way too many things have to go India's way for us to win. Or we could bat first and count on a Kohli/Rahane special. Not looking good.

Knicks.. the worst team in the NBA atm.

 

[biased indian]

if pakistan bat sensibly 225 - 240 is still on

 

[viriya]

Wahab telling Starc to getsum.
