Does seem like reverse is a significant factor though, whereas that one "just" turned big. Does make it interesting if India can get it hooping.

And India score 240, lol. With a run out on the last ball!
It reversed a little for like five overs, we're not talking Simon Jones at TB here.

Anyway, warner and head will smash 90 in the powerplay, there'll be a mini collapse and Smith or marnus will guide them home. Siraj will probably drop a catch somewhere.

Whatever it takes!!!
Well, we have given ourselves a chance.

TBF, Australia were very nervous in the semis and dare I say, had RSA got 240 and taken their catches, they would have lost to RSA.

240 is middling enough to cause 2 collapses that can win the game for the side defending the total. Let's see.

Still proud of this bunch of blokes. No Indian side dominated everyone else in a tournament like these guys have done.

The last time they had a total like this, they defended it.

unfortunately that was against England, so against normal teams, they’re definitely too short here.

They were nervous but idk, they just look absolutely "on" today. I think the sense that they are massive underdogs has helped them a bit. If they continue that same mentality with the bat they should knock this off okay.

I can't really see how that could have gone any better for us.

We still have to bat, but we are exactly where we would have wanted to be. It could be a ****ing nightmare, but hopefully India **** themselves.

Not sure what you were watching, it jagged a lot persistently. Directly led to all the wickets after Kohli's. They just went away from it later because the short ball worked better vs sky.
Tbf I missed pretty much everything between Jadeja's wicket and Rahul's so you may be right, but what I saw was challenging but far from unplayable. The tail actually dealt with it okay when they went full.
