you know it's a good'un when watson can't think of something stupid to say

hope aussies go down. they totally deserve it. going too hard on the ball early on, not learning from the NZ game, get outa here.

india has been the most pro team in that regard, always making sure wickets in hand around the 25 over mark.

 

[Spark]

this is exactly why i wanted us to bat first

I think Aussie have a team strategy of reviewing every LBW that they have a review in the bank for. I noticed Warner and Watson always doing it and just naturally assumed it was because they are ****s but if Finch is also doing it I think it could be a tactic.

yes, clarke's problem there was definitely going too hard at the ball

 

[straw man]

It's amazing how the bowler gets fired up in his follow-through and yet in my mind it's still Watson that looks like the petulant toddler. It's not his fault, it's just his face.

I don't really like The Jacket because he's The Jacket but I love watching his cricket.

 

[Jono]

Don't choke Australia

Only Warner's dismissal you could say was going too hard at the ball. Clarke was probably not assertive enough against the short ball, Finch is just ****.

 

[Teja.]

Australia going out here would be beyond outstanding for India's WC prospects.

Would start the semi as firm favourites.

 

[Gnske]

No problems, had to get the freeloaders out of the way so Batswell and TPC can feast.

 

[Daemon]

Even more reason now to be pissed off at Pakistan's batting effort.

 

[Flem274*]

if pakistan could field they really would be so much harder to chase against.

tbf misbah is almost twice my age.

warner's problem was not going hard enough at it tbh. When you play that shot if you're not aiming straight over first slip you should really just throw the sink at it.

 

[Kirkut]

An upset on cards?

Wait, Finch is less of a ****?

There are definitely days when I wish we had a composed batsman opening the batsman instead of Finch such as Klinger.. Today is one of those days.

 

[Daemon]

For the 40ish year olds around here who are in reasonably good shape, is it unfair to have asked Misbah to dive after that ball?

 

[GotSpin]

All good baby. Still our game
