2nd Semi Final - Australia v India (26th March)

[viriya]

Dhawan just has no respect for that punchable-face-having bowler.

 

[Contra]

relax Dhawan we need a big 100 from u today, make this start count!

 

[biased indian]

good going against Faulkner dont over do it though

 

[Shri]

So you get a free hit off a no ball but not a wide?

Yes. You can only be dismissed via runout off a free hit.

 

[GotSpin]

Getting **** on

 

[Zinzan]

To think Australia were close to putting the game out of doubt when Maxwell was dismissed at 237 in 37 overs.

 

[anil1405]

Black Caps are universally loved, well maybe except the Aussies. Majority of the neutrals would be cheering for Kiwis in the final.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

India is batting brilliantly but clarke has been subdued so far. Just going through the motion

 

[Flem274*]

Forkers getting smoked (Y)

Dhawan doing the smoking (N)

I'm going to say it - ossstraya are far more likeable and cooler than india for a neutral like me

Then it's a win-win no? Jump on the NZ bandwagon and forsake your motherland friend.

this is why nobody wants you

 

[OverratedSanity]

So you get a free hit off a no ball but not a wide?

Yeah. No-balls are more looked down upon than wides and there's a feeling they should be punished more, for some reason.

 

[Swingpanzee]

really good platform for India, advantage to them atm.

 

[anil1405]

To think Australia were close to putting the game out of doubt when Maxwell was dismissed at 237 in 37 overs.

Yea. Reminds me of the second test in England last year between the English and India. Long way to go though before India are in pole position.

 

[viriya]

Aus really have a problem now if Faulkner can't bowl his 10.

 

[Dissector]

I would say the game is 50-50. The pitch is looking innocuous but it's still a lot of runs.

 

[Hurricane]

good going against Faulkner dont over do it though

No destroy him. It will force Clarke to react and go to plan B. Plan B may involve Watson or even having to bring a front line bowler back earlier than he wants to.

 

[Valer]

Yes. You can only be dismissed via runout off a free hit.

Can't you get out handled ball?

 

[viriya]

this is why nobody wants you

Too late.. you guys have me till the bloody end now.

 

[halba]

clarke, maxwell can get the resto f the overs

 

[Shri]

Got a terrible feeling about Maxwell getting 4 or 5 and derailing our chase in the middle overs.

 

[viriya]

I would say the game is 50-50. The pitch is looking innocuous but it's still a lot of runs.

Yea tend to agree.. A quick couple of wickets and everything changes.
