How important was Dhawan getting out? Easy to say in hindsight but he was really critical to this chase.
happens, though. can't praise all those shots off faulkner and then bag him for nailing a preferred shot of his and picking out the only guy for fifty metres.

A total of 327+ has been chased with 3 wickets down before 30 overs gone a grand total of 4 times and never in Australia. 3 times in NZ, once in SA.

India will have pulled off an ATG chase in a WC semi. Incidentally Aus have never lost a WC semi and no team has chased even 300 in a WC knockout.

Likely event, sure.
I don't recall saying it was likely, it's just not the impossibility you're saying it is.

Yeah but faulkner was easier to hit and Dhawan took him on to initially maximize the PP. Taking on Haze was another thing altogether. I just felt that Dhawan had reached a point where the RR wasn't as much an issue and then he could knock it around for a bit and go hard at weaker bowlers.

Will you stop ****ing rolling your eyes you dildo. Everyone knows Dhawan getting out was bad.

What was stupid about your post was that you said Kohli getting out means India are ****ed. No we weren't. We're ****ed after Kohli, Rohit and Raina are back in the hut and the final two specialist batsmen are at the crease. Now shut the **** up. Even with Kohli out we had a chance. Now we need a mircale.

Maxwell has bowled really well thus far. Big plus for Ais getting some cheap overs out of him
