2nd Semi Final - Australia v India (26th March)

[Flem274*]

unless jadeja is much better than i give him credit for that's the game

 

[Shady Slim]

let jadeja have a slog and if he gets out send in shami to slog and then bring in ashwin to bat properly

 

[viriya]

Starc lock on MotS.

 

[Swingpanzee]

haha the fact that Australian cheers were heard during that snicko spike...

 

[OverratedSanity]

I heard a sound on live - so not a random review.

Game over now.

Interesting. Thought it was game over when Kohli went.

 

[Spikey]

geez did that swing in from outside leg

jadeja yes, shami nah. pinch hitter bowlers often waste deliveries with plays and misses.

 

[Swingpanzee]

terrible innings from Rahane in the end. He's got a lot to learn in the ODI game still. Temperament needs work.

Not as bad as Finch /s

It was India are ****ed then.

After they were 4 down it was impossible.

Now it's game over.

i think that to get the target they need a few overs of non-dhoni filthy slogging if they want even to have a remote chance

 

[artvandalay]

Rhea chakraborty if I'm not wrong.

bunny teeth and not much curves, would still bang though.

 

[Flem274*]

you still have three minutes to take a stab in the dark at who you think you will win before the poll closes people

bhuvi kumar would be perfect if he was playing

God I hate the attitude cricket fans have that leads to thinking India losing this game (assuming they do) is somehow Dhawan's fault because he was "set" and "threw it away" or whatever and should have made a hundred. He made more runs than anyone else ffs, and at a good pace, and set a platform for the chase. Every other player is to blame more than him.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Hmm, good length outside off, I think Rahane has been found out.

 

[Burgey]

Smitteh called for it. Haddin didn't appeal.

TPCCCCCCCCCCCC

 

[OverratedSanity]

This will get fun if Dhoni has just the tail to bat with. That's always great to watch.

Fixed.

Its not about laying all the blame on him, its not his fault we lost this game, but it doesn't mean he can't be criticized for getting out, of all the batsmen he was probably the one who got himself out. He had actually done all the hard work and got himself set at the time at which he got out, I just think in a run chase its critical that you keep going, especially on a pitch like this which isn't the easiest to get in on.

If you bowl good length outside off, every batsman in the history of cricket has been found out. McGrath.
