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

[Fuller Pilch]

if pakistan bat sensibly 225 - 240 is still on

260 on a good day

Rahat Ali can play - his innings in the drawn 2nd test stopped NZ from winning the series in the UAE

 

[Zinzan]

Wow, Starc looking human again today. Possibly even overdoing the yorker.

 

[Teja.]

I honestly think Australia are favourites for the semi but only like 1.7ish and not huge favourites it's being made out on CW.

India are playing great cricket as a team this WC.

2 more overs of no wickets for Starc for Shami to still be the joint highest wicket taker in the WC. #shamimots.

 

[viriya]

Maqsood you ****.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

OK let's go for 230 now

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Lol Sohaib. Idiot

Brett Lee looks like not interested in that pulse question

I loved watching Brett Lee bowl against Pakistan in 2011. He seemed like the only Australian interested in trying to defend 187 instead of go through the motions and concede defeat.

No chance in hell they reach that.

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.

in my scenario lot of those things have already been met
Bat first ,score 325+ and then ashwin and jadeje bowling good , chance of all happening together in SF 10%

since i said this they have exploded again ..

 

[Teja.]

ffs.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Pakistan just doesn't have a single low risk batsman. All block slog merchants.

 

[Dick Rockett]

This is bloody awful. Pakistan should be ashamed of themselves.

 

[anil1405]

So 210 now?

 

[Isura]

Pathetic. Not even a choke job. The top order just has no idea how to play a one day innings.

 

[Teja.]

Starc to Wahab Riaz, OUT, Starc is the sole leading wicket-taker this World Cup. Finally he has drawn an edge. Riaz has finally hit that little white thing after backing away from the stumps. The outside edge settles nicely with Haddin

cricinfo rubbing it in.

 

[Primrose_D12]

This is a terrible performance. I'm drunk and love cricket though, so I'm in no way tempted to turn this match off. :P

Starc needs 4 wickets to break into that list and push Kallis out.

Some things are very surprising in that list.

How'd you get into cricket? I've been to Arizona, and it's not what I'd call a target market.
