14th Match - India v Australia

[Zinzan]

I have India's nose ever so slightly in front.

Zampa is definitely behind both Hogg and Warne as a bowler, by a substantial margin. He's not bad but I can't see him being overly effective vs India.

NCN is due wickets. He's not anywhere near as bad as his recent figures suggest.

 

[stephen]

India win the toss and elect to collapse.

 

[trundler]

It is a world cup match between India and Australia, outside India I may add. The only question is which hack will be elevated to greatness today by Indian bowling away from home.

Ponting and Smith are hacks?

 

[stephen]

Besides, Bumrah is the best Indian quick ever and one of the best fast bowlers in the world. This Indian attack is not popgun like those in previous tournaments.

 

[Burgey]

Here's the deal. You know what you get with winning Aussies. 5 already. Our heads have peaked in size. India have just got started. The world doesn't have room for the level of smug that could ensue.
Either way, all we of the colonies are looking to this game to gauge the only prospects of deflating the English juggernaut.

Pakistan deflated them four days ago ffs. And they always deflate themselves. Only the existence of SA has distracted from England’s gassing up at world cups

 

[Burgey]

hows the weather?

The relevant question is always whether it’s raining in Geelong.

 

[Second Spitter]

Australia by 4 wickets.

 

[NUFAN]

Fox Sports had Cummins at 8 and Coulter-Nile demoted to 9.

Pumped for this one, looking forward to Cummins vs. Kohli.

 

[trundler]

Ponting and Smith are hacks?

Not those 2 but over the years some real spuds have trolled India.

 

[Burgey]

First ball goes underground. It’s like a home game for India

 

[Top_Cat]

Damn Dhawan has 16 tons? TIL.

He might not get a hit

 

[Top_Cat]

Aussies will have to bowl well to stay in this. Good toss for India.

Pakistan is always going to Pakistan. That game meant nothing. I think you are downplaying England's chances here because you too can not bear to live in a world where they win the World Cup.

 

[NUFAN]

Oh nice game plan India. Dont lose early wickets.

 

[trundler]

Very solid from Sharma first up. Good over.

They’ve pumped a hapless SA who are a shadow and beaten a minnow ffs. Look, if the Poms want to throw wood from ball one against Starc and Cunmins, Bumrah and whatever plodder India has or against the likes of Boult then I’ll be more than happy because, firstly, their top order apart from Root are flat out sloggers, and secondly, they’ve scored runs in JAMODIs against second rate attacks. As soon as they had premiere put on them they folded. I’m not talking them down, I’m commenting on what I’ve seen them do. They’re going to come a cropper.

Damn. Good effort that from a quickie.

 

[NUFAN]

Far out Rohit is so lucky
