T20 World Cup Second Semi Final 10/11. India v England 1830hrs @ Adelaide Oval

[BStaff17]

Haydos v Hussey final!

Hussey is a 100x better bloke.

But he is with England.

 

[royboy2]

I went to the 1992 WC Final between Pakistan and England, and I have tickets for Sunday, looks like I get the repeat

Me too! Can't wait

 

[Donnie Darko]

Hales is only playing because of Bairstows freak injury. He has been our best player and this is what we have been missing .
The previous selector and regime left him out .

 

[troybe]

That was an absolute thrashing

 

[010203]

Haydos v Hussey final!

England actually lead the Aussie count 3-2 - Matthew Mott, Mike Hussey and David Saker while Pakistan have Shaun Tait and Matthew Hayden.

 

[11kgm]

They should be favourites but don’t think it’s far from 50-50. England have been very reliant on the openers, if Shaheen and co can make some instrides early who knows.

Starc to McCullum ball would be amazing

 

[Snarls Barkley]

220 wouldn't have been enough tonight the way England were batting.

First time in the tournament that I feel India have really missed Bumrah and Jadeja (who I think are their 2 best white ball bowlers by the way)

I guess they had to pick them as lower order batting options (can’t have the tail starting at 7 even in T20) but having Ashwin and Axar as the spinners gave no threat. Not sure what Kuldeep and Chahal’s recent form has been but they missed having a wicket taking spin option

 

[11kgm]

Pakistan have a good bowling attack ..its not over yet

Let's hope India was missing Bumrah

 

[Whiskers]

What’s the go with tickets? Available last night and this morning but sold out prior to this match.
Did Indian fans panic and buy with the Pakistan fans snapping them up quick? Or did Pakistan just buy all of the tickets?

How are English fans meant to get any tickets fairly like the Pakistan fans did?

 

[madmug]

What an unexpected flogging.

I thought it'd be a close affair.

Butler & Hales took them on & just kept going!!.

An Unbelievable exhibition.

 

[NYRB]

Chased it in 96 balls. The hundred doing great things for English cricket.

Watched most of the hundred, its a higher product than the Big Bash. Balls have more importance and thats what we are seeing with England at the moment.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

is for me

and me

mate, take your hands out of your pocket when you're talking to Harsha

It might be one of the biggest redemption stores in English cricket over the last 25 years, if him and England go on to win the World Cup.

After the footage I saw of him and Stokes in a brawl in the street, and his drugs penalty, thought his career was gone.

Fair play to him for keeping on persisting. Morgan leaving the England set up was the light at the tunnel he needed.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

India played an old fashioned game and it made them look stupid.

 

[corbies]

India have massively underachieved in World Cups in the last decade. Some pretty horror defeats as favourites too:

2012 T20 WC: Eliminated in super 8s (Watto special knocked them out)
2014 T20 WC: Lost in final v SL as big favs
2015 ODI WC: 100 run loss to Aus in SF.
2016 T20 WC: Couldnt defend 192 in a SF v Windies.
2019 ODI WC: Couldn't chase 240 in a SF v NZ.
2021 T20 WC: Eliminated in Super 12s after being smashed by NZ and Pakistan.
2022 T20 WC: Tonight.

Thats a horrible record for the biggest cricket nation on the planet.

It was sarcasm. The Hundred has minimal to do with this haha. They've been playing like this for 5+ years.

I just checked and there's still quite a few tickers available?

At the outrageous $300 price tag I'm thinking it'll be hard to sell out. Still a lot of Pakistani's in Melbourne though, I'd expect a 70-30 split in the fans.

Bought them months ago, we were always making the final

With the talent they have, India will be the favourite or close to it in pretty much every tournament they participate in, similar to Australia in the 90's and 00's. They haven't exactly delivered on their potential though.

I feel like they will break the drought in the ODI World Cup next year, with home ground advantage being more important in the longer formats.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

That was amazing to watch

I tried earlier and it said limited for cat 1&2. However I still couldn’t get any.
Now it says cat B is available with cat a&c limited yet I can only get a single seat.
Really odd.

 

[Whiskers]

Bought them months ago, we were always making the final

I’m not English but it doesn’t make sense to me how they allocate the seats. The winner of the 1st semi just gets to snap up all of them knowing they are in. Now seats are limited whereas they were available everywhere last night.
