2015 Cricket World Cup Australia/ New Zealand

[ROVERT47]

New Zealand v India final then.

Even Langers would have enjoyed that game...

Even Langers would have enjoyed that game...

Only if a dragon had soared over the stadium at the end.

 

[Sniffer]

Only if a dragon had soared over the stadium at the end.

....and only then if he was carrying a pitcher of Bathams for him.

 

[Tony Towner]

Feel a bit sorry for South Africa, done by Duckworth Lewis again. I think it needs looking at in games where the rain affects the first innings, as it favours the chasing team too much. Maybe a Top 6 batsman is chosen to be retired out to balance it up again, or the equations need re-writing to take into account the bigger hitting and higher scores we now see.

 

[BillyDee]

If D/L needs reviewing, maybe they could ask Moores to share some of his par score 'data'..?

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Australia v India could be every bit as tight as the other semi final. India have hit top form during this tournament, but as always, the Aussies will be very tough to beat, particularly in their own back yard.

 

[Sniffer]

India are batting like buffoons and have no chance of chasing down the Aussie total of 328. They are currently 73 for 0 after 12 overs.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Chasing 329 to win, India are 72 - 0 after 12 overs.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

A big wicket. Dhawan gone, 76 - 1.

 

[Kenny]

A big wicket. Dhawan gone, 76 - 1.

Quickly go to 3 down

91-3

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Rohit hit Johnson for a massive six, and was bowled next ball. India need to stabalise their innings.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Maxwell on. India will need to score heavily off him.

But just 5 runs off his first couple of overs.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

108-4. India in big trouble now.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

India need 11 an over off last 15 overs, and Johnson comes back into the attack...

 

[FrankMunro-371]

MS Dhoni playing for a draw...

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Jadeja gone.

India's tactics have been baffling. They have needed to score boundaries for some time, but seem content with getting ones and two's.

 

[Kenny]

India's tactics have been baffling.

England inspired innings

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Dhoni wakes up. Two big sixes off Watson.

 

[Kenny]

I take back the England comment then
