1st Semi Final - India v New Zealand

[CM Punk]

What do you think of the pitch? What's a good score in your view?

Tough to say, I'd say 260 because I think India will play in these conditions better than us.

 

[Moss]

They don't even need to attack the spinners. Just need to actually hit more than 1 or 2 singles every over

Well, this "approach" may yet be justified if they can see off the spinners and REALLY take toll of the fifth bowler.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

I'm sensing a Ross mid-wicket all or nothing hoick coming up ...

 

[trundler]

Need a big over.

 

[straw man]

Once again, we look stuck in 2nd gear. Desperately need something career defining from Ross.

Time to start yelling at Taylor through the tv to get a move on - this is poor.

 

[Flem274*]

you dont want to know how much i hope that was out

 

[stephen]

That was worth a review. Lol

 

[CM Punk]

What are these two doing...

They're batting us into a hole.

 

[cnerd123]

Got to give credit to India for dropping Shami and going with two spinners here. Plan has worked a treat.

 

[trundler]

Haha, that looked out. Kohli you dumb ****

 

[CM Punk]

That was worth a review. Lol

No reviews left.

 

[Jezroy]

Oh man this innings is really starting to die. Taylor 8 off 26 now?

 

[Flem274*]

ok 7 off 25 is getting pretty meme even for ross catch up knocks

 

[Mike5181]

Why are we blocking in the 26th at 3 rpo.

 

[Neil Young]

Tough to say, I'd say 260 because I think India will play in these conditions better than us.

OK.

Do you think you'll post if we win?

 

[trundler]

Don't run each other out

I agree that the management of muscle injuries is often atrocious, but you can't always assume that it's a tear from watching on TV. Maybe 10-15% of the time it looks like a hamstring or groin strain but it's not a full tear and can be managed for the rest of the game.

right, but they're not doing any actual "treatment" are they? Like, if the guy is fine to continue, he's fine to continue, if not he's not - there's nothing the physio (or anyone - doctor, nurse, witch doctor whatever) can do in that situation.

The reason I said that is in reaction to the commentator saying re: Pandya's injury "if any man can fix it, it's that physio [can't remember the name]".

They might help with the rehab and making sure muscles heal well but I don't see an acute role.

 

[Jezroy]

Here we go. We need to take to Hardik.

 

[CM Punk]

OK.

Do you think you'll post if we win?

Probably not.

 

[trundler]

Do something, anything to push the spinners back
