*Official* Quarter Final 2 - India v Australia

[Ausage]

Somebody tell Ian Chappell that the players are not getting onto the front foot to spinners today is that the bounce is consistent and lowish and the pitch is slow .
Which allows the batsman all the time to play most balls on the backfoot.

He just keeps criticising the bowlers too much.

No worries. I'll let him know.

 

[Cevno]

Need to up the ante just a bit.Required RR just creeping over 5.5 .

Sachin was managing it so well..

Might be because he's, well, Sachin. This pitch is not fun to bat on vs. decent spin.

 

[Ikki]

Agree with Chappelli here...too many easy singles.

Wickets in hand is key as long as it doesnt go too far above 6 and hit 7 we are fine

these 2 playing very senisbly milking their spinners

Yeah same. Far too many singles on offer.

 

[TT Boy]

Bread and butter for the Indians.

 

[Cevno]

Still can't let the RR GO up to 6 because it will be even less fun to bat on with the pressure of scoring run a ball later on.

Better to manage it now ,then to leave it for later and let the pressure build.

That's why i said just a little bit.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Ghambir getting too many easy runs. He has 36 and nearly scoring at a run a ball with only 2 boundaries, excellent batting but makes you wonder about the field.

 

[Ausage]

Krejza lucky that didn't go for far more than 6.

 

[Spark]

Dussey? He might actually turn it on this pitch.

There is no reason to let it go over 6 at any time ,tbh.

Once it goes in that territory wickets in hand or not it becomes really troublesome.

Specially on such a wicket and such a pressure situation.

 

[Spark]

Gah, too many singles. Way too many singles.

 

[M0rphin3]

Might as well hand this in a platter. Atleast let them take some risks ffs.

 

[Jayzamann]

Too many easy runs for the amount of wickets in hand.

Cmoooon

 

[Cevno]

Gah, too many singles. Way too many singles.

To be fair the bowlers are bowling too many loose balls which need protection on the boundary and thus the field really can't be brought in too much.

 

[Cevno]

Shot!!!!!

 

[Burgey]

Actually think Australia is doing the right thing here. At this rate they'll have the 10 spinning overs done by the 30th. Sure those overs are going at about 5 rpo, but frankly I'd have taken that against this line up in these conditions.

 

[Dissector]

India should win this. If they don't it will be a big failure for the middle order. They have a near perfect platform.

 

[kingkallis]

This is a very fine chase. India should seal the match by 45th over though.
