Australia vs India - ICC World Cup 2015 Semi Final 2 @ SCG 2:30pm 26/03/15

328... Anyone who says they wouldn't have taken that at the start of the day is a liar

I wouldn't have. We could be near 380 if not for that middle order collapse

 

[Angus Young]

Is it enough?

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

You don't need muscles to hit a ball.

You need timing.

I thought you needed levers

 

[kBuck]

I reckon this will do wonders for his bowling

Always bats well when he bowls well. I'm tipping the reverse today (bowling well).

 

[1990crow]

80 too many for India

 

[Allezjuel]

Very good score, but still game on though. Sri Lanka got 320 on the same pitch so if we bowl as bad as we did against them India will chase this.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Coming from the team of arrogant ********s

So what is it, you English? Kiwi? Indian?

Or just a miserable bitch

 

[Xsess]

Good total despite Clarke and Watson

 

[Alfonz]

Disappointing not to get more based on platform. But would have taken that after losing Warner and Finch looking in all sorts.

If we can't defend this, don't deserve to make the final.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Mitch harking back his cameo at the Gabba!

Get him in!!

 

[Westy Bogan]

I wouldn't have. We could be near 380 if not for that middle order collapse

That was after a great start by Smith but what about before a ball had been bowled?

Always would put 328 in the bank

 

[BACCS]

That's a good score with our bowling lineup. 20 more runs would have been nice, but 328 on the board in a final is pressure, and big pressure at that. That's not an easy chase, despite some people thinking 380 needs to be a minimum these days.

Btw, is the sound out on the TV?

 

[Belnakor]

great total plenty to bowl at

if you can't defend 320 your doing something wrong.

 

[Stan Van Gundy]

More than enough runs. Can see India getting to around 270.

 

[Plugger35]

Going to be an interesting run chase, 328 is gettable for India but won't be easy against the Aussie bowling attack.

India need either Rohit or Dhawan to do a McCullum and get them off to a flyer to keep the run rate in check.

Please. Don't talk about India that way..

 

[Heisenberg_]

Coming from the team of arrogant ********s

1 billion cricket mad people yet will never be as successful as Australia at cricket.
How does that feel you whiny little soon?

 

[iBeng]

Starc/Johnson to rip through their opening line up.

 

[DT_fanatic]

They keep showing all these Indian supporting Australians as if to say not every Indian is a traitorous Aussie hater

Unfortunately true. They should be supporting India

 

[Hollow Knight]

Kohli dropped that catch three times.

Hope that festers in his head through their innings.

 

[davis_756]

That will do, couple of early wickets would be a perfect way to put one foot in the final.

 

[Heisenberg_]

Unfortunately true. They should be supporting India

Why?

 

[bffl]

There were at least 3 batsmen who performed worse then Watson today yet he still gets blamed.

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Pretty confident 328 will be enough. Sri Lanka got close to that against us, but this time India won't be able to feast on Doherty's pies.

 

[Spitta09]

if you can't defend 320 your doing something wrong.

And its not like we don't have the bowlers...the only thing that concerns me a bit is not playing a spinner- not doherty but i feel lyon could be in the side. Ashwin was getting some turn and was effective enough.
Lets give their batting lineup some respect though it will take a very good effort to bowl them out. Still we SHOULD do this!
