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

[_Ed_]

Well, this has become quite interesting.

 

[Contra]

I have to say India's catching has been excellent, good discipline with the ball other than some leg side wides/freebies and that short ball overdoing at the start.

 

[ankitj]

That was such a rank short ball to get the wicket.

 

[Dissector]

Is it premature to dream of a sub-300 target ? Obviously breaking this partnership quickly will be critical.

 

[cnerd123]

That one spat off the wicket. Goon one first up to the new man.

Faulkner is scary. Haddin and Watto scary. Mitch scary. India not out of the woods yet.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Another wicket from short ball...give India some credit here...It's not all about Australia performing or Australia choking

Smith has played a brilliant inning, but all other batsmen have looked ordinary.

This short ball to Clark was a nothing ball tbh. Very soft wicket.

 

[biased indian]

how about 80 of 80

 

[eroticfishcake]

Faulkner could still get them to 350

 

[Primrose_D12]

not trying to hit it along the ground.

Some day, I will stop having to ask so many questions.

Thanks again to everyone who has been helping me out.

Bailey > Clarke?

If we drop one now you're going to get hurt

 

[smash84]

the wicket seems to be holding up now.

Perhaps batting might not be very easy

He's done that all summer tbf. How easy to bat in is this deck? Smith is not a reasonable yardstick given the form he's in.

Clarke should have batted ahead of maxwell imo, but the latter was just unlucky he picked the bloke out.

No. Australia aren't batting well at all. Need a big over in the next 2 to get a solid total IMO.

 

[Contra]

It's reversing a bit! Excellent bowling. India gotta be careful in the chase though with reverse on offer.

 

[Shri]

Meh, Faulkner, Haddin are much better options now anyways. If they go however...

Then you have MoJo and Starc. Mojo is going to love this short stuff and score a few if he gets to bat.

 

[cnerd123]

70 in the last 7 gives them 320.

Don't think they can take 100 off the last 7.

India will be happy with 320 or lower I reckon.

looks tough to get set tbh. we've picked a terrible time to lose a few.

Mate they've all been sitters. Let's get real here

 

[Swingpanzee]

**** definitely India have won the last few overs. We need 330+ imo or else I would back India to get this.

We can't lose a ****ing wicket now and we need to score
