1st Semi Final - India v New Zealand

[trundler]

Stop ****ing blocking

 

[stephen]

The irony is that neither Steve Waugh nor Shane Warne, the two heroes of the 99 WC didn't get another shot at a world cup.

 

[CM Punk]

Is it worth sending CdG in next?

Worth the punt???

 

[Jezroy]

C’mon The Boss

... Tbf, with the spin on offer, batting has looked quite difficult.

Tbf, NZ have seen enough of Jadeja over the years to think of some options to score at > 3 rpo against him.

Reminds me of the mid 90s when we had no answer to Sohail's left arm darts.

Yea I knew the world class cake would come in and choke the innings with his overbalancing technique especially against spin. Keep him out there alap.

PS Prepared to taste.

hey look a boundary

even the Indian fans are cheering it. that's how bored they've been this last hour.

 

[trundler]

Good, keep that up ****

 

[Spintolose]

Is this in England or Mumbai?

Haha. Where are you from?

This is partly why I was routing for SA v The crims. I didn't want England having to play a semi v India in Delhi.

 

[CM Punk]

Is it worth sending CdG or Henry (to hit out, if he gets out no loss) in next?

Worth the punt???

 

[Victor Ian]

I'm out and about and missing this. What's happening? Great bowling... Difficult pitch?

Yeah but Stead doesn’t like doing weird stuff.

He’s a missionary man.

 

[Moss]

Ross has so not batted like the 2nd-most-successful-batsman-in-the-world-since-2015 in the last 3 games, picked the wrong opponents too.

 

[harsh.ag]

Well they've begun taking risks. The next 5 overs should be interesting.

There was a boundary 3 balls before this ya spud

A bit of both of those mixed with low intent batting

 

[CM Punk]

Good bowling, some turn and a low on confidence and form opposition.

 

[Athlai]

I'm all for commentary talking about past world cups, but this is a ****ing semi final and neither of these teams were in the game they're ****ing talking about. Who gives a ****

spinning deck. Bhuvi and Bumrah were very good with the new ball, Chahal and Jadeja very good after that. NZ trying their best to not lose any wickets, but seem to have gone into their shell.

Two boundaries in that over will break the shackles tho. NZ might start finding the fence more frequently now, especially since the Pandya and Bhvui will be replacing the spinners.
