CWC - The Other Semi Final
-
Aussie won the toss, batting first..
Go the convicts. I want the crowd on our side for the final
-
@Duluth yeah, I mentioned in our semi thread that if there's a team who the crowd support would work least in favour of, it's be England. Reckon we'd be pretty similar also...
LBW review!
-
As I understand it, teams that lose their review in the 1st over of a semi final always lose don't they?
Edit: Oh shit, it was the 2nd over.
-
4/1, Finch out fairly plumb first ball.

Yeah gotta wonder what he was hoping for with that review.
-
Shane Watson has really done wonders in his role as Australia's review coach since coming on board.
-
Finch did ask DDD if he should review.
Showed his desperation

It looked plumb unless he hit it. I saw him motioning to his bat but he obviously wasn't sure because it took him ten seconds to review.
-
Fuck Warner is a quality bat!!
-
Ha ha. What a jinx
-
Both openers now gone...
-
@Hooroo hmmm. Well done assume yr supporting poms
-
No kidding, I hit submit and he gave the edge. Incredible
-
Poms have the ockers pants down and the lube out
-
Australia in deep shitski
-
Looked good to me.
-
High?
-
I think I'll watch England's innings live, that could reverse the jinx - I'd rather Kane & Co face Australia in the final...
-
Kohli will be spewing 😂
-
Unless all of the Indians return their tickets I don't think the crowd in the final will be pro-England.
Besides, it didn't matter in Manchester when the crowd is against you.

Swing is late and sharp
Also how come I never realised how rapid Archer is? His action is effortless
channels Mark Nicholas
Reminds me of the effortless way that other top fast bowler Josh Hazlewood gets through the crease

Hopefully they all show up. One thing this tournament needs to work on is making sure people still show up when the semis get moved or their team isn't in it.

Australia's openers to India's: Hold my beer.

@mariner4life seriously quick as is Woods
Why I agree with Nick. England much the better side - on paper. Just as India were .....

It was umpires call so they keep it.

I don't think it was....unless you're referring to India?

14/3. Handscomb has a tough CWC debut...

Shit shot, piss off

He's some talent. Height, pace, great action, has a huge future.

Aus need to really dig in, any total above 230 will give the English plenty of nerves.
-
Are you India in disguise .. ?
-
This is Steve Smith's moment to win back the hearts and minds of the Australian public and the cricketing world!

Did well to catch his helmet there!

No, but I rate England's batting form going into this match about 15-20 runs better than India's going into yesterday's

They're a dangerous side, but Aus has the bowling to defend 230+. Don't forget they skittled the English for 221 in the round robin. Pressure will be right on England if they have to chase more than that.

Predicted score of 255 seems wildly optimistic. Some tweaks to the system seem in order.
