Re: 2nd Semi-Final - Aus v v Ind, 26 March 2015
In this world cup, wickets are such that 300 runs is no big deal neither batsmen making high scores. For example, several batsmen made over 200 runs in this world cup when over 200 runs was rarity in ODIs. So, you can understand what 300 runs is for a team consisting number of good batsmen?
But then, any score is good score until it is not made. So, one can wait and see.

They should have sent Mitchell instead of Haddin
Three balls three fours Mitchell

So why do you reckon batting wickets were made? Indian influence as one of the big threes?
Re: 2nd Semi-Final - Aus v v Ind, 26 March 2015
good over so far only 4 of three balls...

How did Mohit end up with last over
Re: 2nd Semi-Final - Aus v v Ind, 26 March 2015
329 to win...for India...tough ask, disregarding their batting strength!!!
Re: 2nd Semi-Final - Aus v v Ind, 26 March 2015
You had been asking for Mohit to bowl previously…

Why do you have disregard for India batting
Re: 2nd Semi-Final - Aus v v Ind, 26 March 2015
I deny your baseless allegation!

I don't think so, as Australian, South African and NZ batsmen are as good. Thing is that, people for entertainment like to see high scores and that is what ICC did, made wickets easy to bat and brought laws making run easy.
Anyhow, there are 4 ODI players whose average is above 50 and two is in Indian team (2 in SA team). All 4 have good strike rate too (90 plus). India also have several other batsmen who score lot of runs at good SR, so it is possible that they might be able to chase the target. But anything can happen.
Re: 2nd Semi-Final - Aus v v Ind, 26 March 2015
It's a tough ask, but doable if India bats sensibly.
Re: 2nd Semi-Final - Aus v v Ind, 26 March 2015
Either India make this achievable total easily, or fail to reach 200. Atleast I will get to see all those rona dhona news bits (IndiaTV etc).
Re: 2nd Semi-Final - Aus v v Ind, 26 March 2015
sure 300 being chased in this WC . but this is SF not round matches... I dont think india have chance to win unless their top 3 do some extra ordinary batting and reach to 200 for 2 - 3 wickets. in 35- 40 overs. Other wise it is a winning score. Khan sahb ne to 250 ko winning total keh dya hey.
If india chases this score , as mentioend by others , Inida deserve to be champion as well as no.1

Expect sledging from Warner et al.to start. Umps will look other way. And you hear it here - two close decision will go against India. Umpires call Yada Yada yada

Re: 2nd Semi-Final - Aus v v Ind, 26 March 2015
My feeling is that, Australia is 20 odd runs short. If it was 350 than I think Australian chance of winning would have been more than 50 percent. But if India loses quick wickets (maybe 2 to 3 wickets before 100 runs) than their chances to lose would increase.

Nohit swings thru first ball. Nohits the second. Predicting a maiden.
