19th Match - India v Australia (27th March)

[Stace]

Nevill is not a team player his job is only to catch he ball not hit the ball, ****.

 

[91Jmay]

Great innings from the Nevster.

Think 175 was par, so advantage India. Zampa the key though, and I am backing him to run through India.

 

[LightningStrike]

So in the end, all Oz had to do was get Watson and The Finisher off strike

160!

 

[vcs]

Superb little cameo from Nevill. Even I didn't mind seeing him so thrilled after that last six.

 

[Zinzan]

15 shy of what they should have got, but still enough if they bowl well.

 

[Spikey]

Nev single handily making me reconsider my specialist keeper thoughts. clearly you need a big hitter

 

[LightningStrike]

Pitch doesn't seem so bad. Only a few balls seemed to be holding up.

If it remains the same India should do this.... especially since there's supposed to be no dews at the ground tonight.

 

[Spikey]

Nev has hit more sixes than warner in this WC and has equalled the amount of sixes he had hit in all previous T20 cricket he'd played in.

15 shy of what they should have got, but still enough if they bowl well.

yeah, agree with this.

The target is probably above par for the course.

 

[Stapel]

Nah, look, it was a rubbish decision and thats it. No noise, no deviation. India should have this now anyway

Yeah, it was rubbish!
I'm just trying to say that rubbish decision simply do happen. A swing-and-near-miss is just the type of action that typically generates wrong decisions. As daft as it sounds, it can be prevented by actually hitting the ball .

 

[Stapel]

Who the **** is Brendon Julian? I've seriously never ever heart of that dude.

 

[91Jmay]

Another in the long time of New Zealanders to play for Aus.

Anthony Stewart, who had a hat-trick once.

The other bloke was a batsman who could bowl a bit of medium-pace for England.

This match will be decided within the first 6 overs of India's innings imo.

What is it he has done to stand along Sunil G. at the WC?

Anthony McGrath was English.

Julian had such a weird career. Wasn't ever particularly good, basically only played one test series, which was the series Australia beat the West Indies in the West Indies for the first time in over a decade and essentially took #1. Played every test and did decently in that series, and that was pretty much it.

Anyway he's a commentator with Fox these days, which is why you're seeing him on TV.

 

[LightningStrike]

India's to lose now.

Firm favourites.

 

[Stapel]

This match will be decided within the first 6 overs of India's innings imo.

I would normally agree. It's just that I've thought so a few times this WC, just to be proven wrong.
