*Official* Quarter Final 2 - India v Australia

[Ausage]

Nah not out. Close though, great delivery.

 

[Jayzamann]

Can't give that just using replays. Need snicko and/or hotspot, really.

 

[TT Boy]

****. Good over though.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Agree with the commentator. First replay looked like he hit, other ones didn't.

 

[Spark]

Feel better about that though, only need a few like those to get us in a real nice spot.

 

[Uppercut]

Didn't look out to me. Monstrous delivery though.

 

[Ausage]

Stating the obvious, but really need a big performance from Tait. A wayward 10 from him will be where India get most of their runs.

Poor start.

 

[Spark]

Ugh Tait. Not a good start.

 

[Uppercut]

Tait has a fantastic ODI record for someone so heavily criticised.

And he goes for four first ball..

 

[Burgey]

Come on Tait, pitch the ****ing thing up.

 

[Spark]

****ing Tait.

 

[TT Boy]

FFS Tait.

 

[Spark]

This is dreadful.

 

[Jayzamann]

Shonky Tait what did you do with Devastating Tait?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Jesus Tait.

 

[Borges]

While I am confident we will win from here!

I'm not all that confident.

This pitch is not all that easy to bat on; the ball seems to be coming off the pitch at variable pace, there's plenty in it for spinners who don't try to emulate Yardy or Harbhajan. Nothing much for the quicks though, as far as I could make out. 260 is not a huge score, but I think it is a very competitive one.

You have to take your hat off to Punter! I certainly was not writing him off before today and he showed himself to be the class player that we all know he is!

Yup, you can say that again. Before this lean patch, he'd always been one of the greatest big match players the game has seen.

Well done, Punter! Delighted to see you back among the runs.

 

[_Ed_]

at Tait sledging Sachin, having already conceded 10 in the over. One dot ball doesn't put you ahead in the battle, son.

 

[Spark]

That was a stunningly bad over.

 

[Kylez]

****ing idiot. Wasting his energy bowling all these wides as well.

 

[Jnr.]

I have always felt that Tait is a bit soft, I don't recall him ever performing well under pressure. Big choker.
