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

[Shri]

Now they don't have to take risks against the spinners. SO far we held their RR low for the spinner(s) to attack. Now Ashwin is going to be defensive and get smashed for loads.

 

[Swingpanzee]

yeah these singles with the one boundary overs are exactly how I like it as an Aus supporter

That Wahab map shows that Yadav hasn't bowled short enough.. Need to get it to throat level.

more a difference in pace than anything

I dare you to tell that to Yadav in front of *****.

How much gel is in Jadeja's hair?

jadeja, such a punchable face

Yeah Smith isn't going to be troubled by even the good bouncers but feeding him stomach high deliveries is suicide.

Would''ve thought we'd have learnt our lesson after getting spanked in the tests, but nope.

Not as much as his moustache.

 

[Burgey]

OMFG STOP BOWLING SHORT WHY THE **** ARE YOU BOWLING SHORT WHO THE **** SAID THE SHORT BALL IS A GOOD ****ING IDEA GO AND GET ****ED THE WHOLE ****ING LOT OF YOU

jesus christ

Macho young Indian bowlers come to australia and think its tough to bowl short. Working beautifully since 1999. Not.

 

[viriya]

Should've brought in spin vs Finch earlier. So dodgy.

 

[anil1405]

This is going to be carnage from here on.

 

[cpr]

Smith not falling for 'get him out by making him laugh to much at Kohli's bowling to hit the ball' Very selfish of him

Changed to Smith out 'laughing at Jadeja's dodgy hair'

 

[Tangles]

Love that Smith came in and immediately made Arun look ****.

 

[smash84]

what kind of awful placement is that? such a straight mid on?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Not really. Yadav is extremely quick. viriya is right. Either get it neck high like Wahab could or just bowl full. Yadav proved he wasn't capable of the short stuff in the tests, so have no idea what's happening here.

Makes me mad because Yadav's full outswinger is his best delivery.

 

[Prince EWS]

He's dodgy against the moving ball as well though. It never ceases to amaze me that he actually does well in international cricket often enough to hold his place.

India shouldn't be bowling short at all. These blokes have seen their bowlers all summer. There's no surprise factor in them doing it. Five gets you ten if they drop short to Watson he will hit it onto Driver Avenue.

 

[viriya]

Only maybe 3-5ks it was more the angle and length. Yadav has been bowling at 148k+ which is good enough pace.

 

[cnerd123]

I get that MSD wants to get Maxwell and co. in as early as possible so we could possibly bowl Australia out before the full 50...but seriously so stupid to try the short ball.

To be fair Mohit's short ball was atleast well directed, but he should have built up to it more. Yadav's over was just pure filth.

Scoreboard pressure isn't the way to go ATM. Need to get wickets. If Aus build a platform we are done. MSD has the right idea. Just not the right plans. Or the right bowlers.

zzz

Australia losing the DJ battles right now
