2nd Semi Final - Australia v India (26th March)

[cnerd123]

You need to go one step further, as in:

"can't have India winning yet another world cup."

say it with me.

It's one thing to support a side to win, and a complete other to wish a side loses.

The latter is the worst kind of fan.

Wish for success for yourself, and not failures for others. Good little life tip that. You should try it.

Umesh Yadav getting a 5-fer and destroying the Aussie line-up would be hilarious to see, but highly highly unlikely.

Now that you've mentioned it. It won't happen.

 

[weldone]

Come on Rahane!

 

[G.I.Joe]

Come on Rahane!

Nah, I'm pretty sure that's just his shampoo.

 

[weldone]

Nah, I'm pretty sure that's just his shampoo.

lame

 

[Pratters]

Have a bad feeling about this.

 

[weldone]

Will wake up at 3 AM tonight...Will watch from the National Anthem till the end of first innings (before coming to office )

 

[Pratters]

India really should just roll over - the game needs a trans-Tasman final

Would make the most passionate final in WC history.

This has to be the worst support phrase I have heard in a long while. Sounds like, they will smack us, and we won't give it back.

Anyone else have the feeling this SF will be a blow-out but not know in whose direction?

Yea kind of get that feeling as well but lets hope it doesn't turn out that way.

You are seriously saying that you haven't wished a side loses in the past?

Sounds like a boring fan.

Weather is set fair here in the Great City ahead of this afternoon's blockbuster at the world's best cricket ground.

 

[Cruxdude]

This WC was all about us not losing to Pakistan for me. Now that we actually have done so well would hate seeing a blowout. Go India!!

 

[Pratters]

I would prefer if we bat first and score 330+ Then we could probably win. Would also like Dhoni to bat a bit higher up. Not very confident in our batsmen, despite the runs.

 

[Cruxdude]

Agree. But doubt we would get 330+. I would be stoked if we get 300.

 

[Pratters]

The 2003 WC final always comes back to me. As soon as Ganguly selected to bowl, I knew the game was gone.

 

[smash84]

yeah, it wouldn't be a good idea to bowl first against Australia

 

[Pratters]

Indians can chase. Any thing in the region of 280, we can make in the second dig as well. Beyond that will be tough

 

[smash84]

The thing is that if the Aussies bat first i can't see them folding for less than 280.

With batting first if India have a good day then they can put scoreboard pressure on Aus and make them fold

 

[jonbrooks]

Can India pull off an upset here? For India to win this I think they have to bat first and put on a big total. Absorb all the early pressure, not lose wickets and then accelerate at the end. A total of 280ish will be competitive.
