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

[Primrose_D12]

The downside of India losing this is I won't be able to watch the final like I am (on a big screen with a bunch of fellow fans).

 

[TheJediBrah]

was he even trying to run hard to get in?

lol he probably would have made it if he tried. He literally just wanted to get the **** out of there.

 

[WalkingWicket]

what the f*** an advert for the Water Diviner made me miss Faulkner's second wicket! Screw you Sky.

 

[Dan]

Hang on, did Channel 9 just miss that wicket?

 

[viriya]

Virya is contemplating whether to post an I told you so post, but is leaning against it.

You're late - did it already.

 

[Spikey]

gifting faulkner a hat-trick would be the cruellest revenge

 

[Daemon]

this is so disappointing. once every 4 years ffs. we're out. ****.

 

[Shri]

Hope the fast bowlers get **** on for years for shifting from a bowling tactic that was working at first to short pitched filth. We shouldn't have been given such a low total after that to chase but we got lucky. Smith was going to get that 100 anyway but we could have slowed him down. Kohli and Jono and go **** themselves too.

The producer at C9, I'm not sure who it is, isnt very good at cutting from the ad when play starts again. He, and again I can't quite remember who it is, did it time and time again during the 2013 ashes

Reckon Indian fans have every reason to be disappointed at how their team has approached this chase post-Dhawan - doomed for failure from a long way out

 

[Swingpanzee]

I actually want this to go to 50 overs

Nah we blew it in the chase, 76 for no loss after 13 overs!!

Now you know how Morkel and AB felt..

 

[Shri]

Ashwin Can't Bat

More like Laxman. Should obviously be batting at #3.

 

[WalkingWicket]

That was spicy from Starc. Ouch.

 

[Swingpanzee]

yeah cop that

not srs. looked nasty

 

[Contra]

Ashwin was never a good fit for #8 in ODIs though.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

just a yorker starc and be done with

It can be both you know. Those runs we gifted Australia by bowling short filth hurt us too.

Seriously India need to give Ashwin more resposibility. Not sure how though - he just isn't someone you want to come in as a finisher.. He probably would be opening if he played for SL.
