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

[SkyBlue]

Game changing knock from Carey

Carey looking like gold

Yeah his cross-format resurgence with the bat the past 12 months or so has been much needed. Played some valuable knocks in that time, even if he doesn’t tho on with it as often as we would like

If he can go for another 5 overs this may well be classified as a match-saving knock

 

[SkyBlue]

Let's just hope SA qualify tomorrow else it's going to be a one sided joke with NZ in the final as it always is

There's no way this Indian team is chasing anything above 250

Can any of the Aus bowlers bat? Obviously Maxwell is still to come but if he fails will the others be able to do anything?

Edit: particularly relevant now, that came from nowhere.

 

[SkyBlue]

That was a horrible miss from Smith

 

[slowfinger]

don't think that wicket is necessarily a bad thing

he wasn't hitting the ball with any supreme sense of timing for a while

Why would it be a "match-saving knock" as surely it would be a "match-winning knock"?

 

[Burgey]

I think Shami to Maxwell is a good match up for India

Dwarshuis and Ellis can bat. Also Zampa good for a few quick runs at the end

 

[Burgey]

That’s why Maxwell will never be considered a great player

 

[SkyBlue]

Damn India really needed that

 

[eroticfishcake]

300 seems difficult now

 

[Darwin Award]

Oh Maxwell!!!! SMH!!

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Maxwell thinks he is Liam Livingstone

was thinking of writing match-winning, but as you can see that might have been a touch immature

I guess we're going to find out!

 

[SkyBlue]

Bring the mystery spinner on

 

[Darwin Award]

... The Maxwell dismissal will now probably stifle Carey's freeflowing hitting & get him to 'carry the tail' until the last 4 overs or so.. if wickets are still aplenty.

Maxwell has put it ALL on Carey now.
