2nd Semi-Final - Australia v India at Sydney Mar 26 2015

[undertaker]

Perfect scenario: they absolutely trash India today by 100+ runs with no possibility of complaining about the pitch and conditions. No umpiring howlers, no DRS controversies, no excuses, just a good clean hiding.

This Indian team needs to lose everything for the good of the game.

This. And in addition, seeing Kohli out for a duck.

If India somehow niggles their way to victory, there's absolutely no way I'll be cheering for them on Sunday. I'd feel like a prostitute doing that.

Needed that boundary

shot smithy

 

[hineyrulz]

Smiffy on the move.

 

[JW]

Smiffy slapping them all over the place.

 

[Tommy Smith]

LOL @ Yadav.

It's half tracker pie time!!

And there is the reason Finch averages 30 in FC cricket.

If Australia wins and Finch gets out cheaply again today, I think a tough decision really needs to be made and he should be dropped for either Marsh or Bailey (I'd be leaning more towards Marsh, as he provides an extra bowling option). Finch really has been dragging the chain in the batting lineup since the opening match vs England (where he luckily was dropped early in his innings before scoring a century) and that is definitely a vulnerability the NZ bowling attack will be aiming to exploit. Who moves to opener alongside Warner is another question though...it'd have to be either Maxwell, Watson or Haddin.

Thats more like the Yadav of this summer.

Clarke IMO.

LOL its Chris Harris bowling.

 

[undertaker]

With Smith smoking them well, I'd be tempted to take an early batting powerplay to try and further increase the run-rate

 

[Meth]

Weird to see Kohli bowling right now

 

[undertaker]

Pretty woeful that the SCG is filled with opposition supporters.

Of course the fanatical Indians would have no qualms forking out $275/ticket

 

[Desert Qlder]

Victorian batsmen should be banned from the Australian side.

 

[The Charlatan]

Trying to buy a wicket.

LOL its Chris Harris bowling.

Is that you Mark Waugh?

To be fair, I'd say a good percentage of them are probably born here.

 

[undertaker]

Very dry wicket, but but but but but but those cheating Aussies are tampering the the pitch.

:lol:

ICC want India in the final for TV revenue :sarcasm:

:lol:

If only your comment wasn't so close to the truth Snappy

 

[Pete Cash]

Kohli was releasing the ball before his foot landed lol..

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

never been this nervous about a cricket game before... could have something to do with having tickets to the final... ha-ha

batting first I think we should get home.. chasing may have been more of an even money proposition...

c'mon boys.. don't f**k this up for everybody...
