*Official* Quarter Final 2 - India v Australia

[Kylez]

India's ground fielding has been quite impressive today. Saved about 10 - 15 runs in the field so far.

 

[Furball]

Nice fielding fatty.

 

[vic_orthdox]

India have been super in the field, as good as I've seen them. So many diving saves on the boundary, which you'd probably expect more than half to go for four usually against the men in blue.

 

[R_D]

Ashwin's had a good match.. bowled well and has fielded just as well.

Good man!!

 

[Spark]

Gah, bad stuff by Mitch. Should've given Dussey the strike that first ball.

 

[Jayzamann]

Want to push for 260 here.

Happy chappy.

 

[Spark]

Happy chappy.

That five helped.

 

[Ausage]

Hmm 260. Don't feel that will be enough tbh, but hope to be proven wrong. We have something to bowl at at least. Really need our quicks to not have an off day. Lee's overs crucial.

 

[R_D]

i say 50-50 here.... could go either way.... sitting on the fence.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Harbhjan to **** up the last over.

R_D to be the star witness in the next spot-fixing inquiry.

 

[four_or_six]

Interesting... not watching because I'm at work, but that doesn't seem like a particularly good total. How good is it, from those of you watching?

 

[TT Boy]

Well its better than what Nehra did.

Don't think Aus have enough, there is runs in this pitch. Lets see what pressure does to the Indians. 9 times out of 10 they are chasing this down with balls to spare.

 

[Cevno]

Don't think this pitch is really tough to bat on as has been made out by the commentators .

It is a bit slow but then aussie bowlers are really quick.

 

[jeevan]

From what we saw, not getting how White came in above David Hussey. That saved India 15-20 runs probably.

India just dont know how to use UDRS, certainly not today...

 

[Spark]

It's hard to start on, but it's not doing anything bizarre.

 

[Turbinator]

So so nervous.

Heart's pounding. C'mon Sachin

 

[BeeGee]

It's a competitive total.

Early wickets, or the lack thereof, is the key for both sides.

 

[Dhoni_fan]

Pretty confident we should chase this there is a bit of turn there, but Aus dont really have a quality spinner to exploit it.

Lee of course is someone we need to see off and play sensibly but Johnson and Tait while always dangerous have the ability to leak runs!

This game is ours to lose!

 

[Spark]

Very very two paced though. Have to be judicious with shot selection (unless you're Sehwag of course)

 

[Mike5181]

Australia need early wickets or India should do this quite comfortably tbh. Yeah, the pitch isn't that great but the indian batsmen are used to these conditions maybe a Brett Lee special will do it.
