Semi-Final #1- India v Australia- Tuesday, March 4th- Dubai

Am I being stupid, but is there a reason why India have to play the first semi-final? South Africa ended up traveling to Dubai in vain, surely putting India’s semi second would have allowed both Australia and South Africa to wait and see who they got in the semi before making travel plans?

Not sure. No one is, just making points.
Like when English fans and media apparently make "excuses" when all we're doing is trying to decipher where it went wrong and how it should be fixed. Just saying "oh we're ****" achieves nothing. We know that, but how do we think it can be solved?
India fans are great in the main, know their stuff and their passion is unrivalled, but some can be bloody childish at times!

Guys guys calm down, you're both right
Genuinely embarrassed for you now.
You dare to carp on to others about not doing their research and resorting to personal insults and yet you are trying to claim that England/The ECB deliberately created a bad batch of balls to gain some mysterious advantage??
Dukes admit 'quality issue' with batch of balls for early stages of county season
Manufacturers have sent out new boxes to counties after surge in number of 500-plus totalswww.espncricinfo.com
Dukes admitted they had a very poor year for producing cricket balls, it was a PR disaster for them, but Dukes are a private company who are not owned and/or ran by the England cricket team.
I bet you think the earth is flat too do you?
India are manipulating the system like a fascist dictator, but England also cheat constantly and the ball changes are just one such example

Yes . India have lost 13 Tosses in a row . In other 3 games captain was someone else

I am talking Test series . I doubt Australia even cared for ODI after winning the Test series 2-0.
Now you will say I am mixing the formats but the fact is Dubai pitches are ideal for Smith and Labu type batsmen.

Will agree to it . Entire Tournament has been designed to cater to Indian audience. Not a good look for neutral audience.

Then NZ would have had to travel back in a day and be ready to play in Pakistan.
Playing without India was the only fair option.

Or SF could easily have been on Wednesday and Thursday giving all sides sufficient rest Time . Very poor scheduling by ICC .

That isn’t cheating. The umpires are the ones changing the ball
