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

[OverratedSanity]

obstructing the field. one famous example involving a certain inzamam ul-haq comes to mind

Inzi also got out runout when he tried to avoid a throw from the bowler ,around that time. Then he got out obstructing the field. Led to an absolutely brilliant post match interview with Ramiz where Inzi went on a tirade "Ball nai rokta toh out, aur ball rokta hun phir bhi out... aap batao main kya karun", which roughly translates too "I don't stop the ball I'm given out, then I stop the ball and again I'm given out. What am I supposed to do?"

[Primrose_D12]

[Primrose_D12]

Not play backward defenses when a fielder tries to run you out would be my suggestion.

Eat it spuds

gone

 

[Swingpanzee]

yipeee

suck it Raina

 

[Flem274*]

need rahane to do something really irresponsible but get away with it. this innings isn't rahane enough.

lol you know you're having a bad night as a pace bowler when raina is smacking you

ahahahaha goooooone

 

[morgieb]

This game's been weird. Good looking shot then a wicket.

 

[Spikey]

the ump or starc

ump

knew raina trying to glide everything down to 3rd man would cause trouble

 

[Shady Slim]

inexcusable shot with the circumstances, half-fend

 

[viriya]

Yeah no team has ever successfully chased when they're 3 down with 30 overs to go. Might as well award Australia the game now.

This post is moronic.

A total of 327+ has been chased with 3 wickets down before 30 overs gone a grand total of 4 times and never in Australia. 3 times in NZ, once in SA.

India will have pulled off an ATG chase in a WC semi. Incidentally Aus have never lost a WC semi and no team has chased even 300 in a WC knockout.

Likely event, sure.

 

[Spark]

suresh, have a hard look at yourself

 

[Furball]

That's rubbish from Raina.

 

[Primrose_D12]

Anyone remember when India were bowling well and feeling confident?

 

[Contra]

How important was Dhawan getting out? Easy to say in hindsight but he was really critical to this chase.
