Re: Australia V India
Go Australia, bowl em all out for 89!
Re: Australia V India
9.00 pm Have Australia got enough? They looked set for 200 when Khawaja and Finch were going at top speed in the Powerplay but timing became a struggle once the ball got older and the field spread. If there's no dew I think it will be an interesting chase. So much depends on Virat Kohli.
Hardik Pandya reckons the ball is coming on to the bat well, that's interesting.

hope Australia wins and puts india out of the competition

Re: Australia V India
INDIA WINS and PROCEEDS to the SEMI-FINAL
*Virat Kohli DID that in style...he MUST be the MAN of the TOURNAMENT.
*
he played an INCREDIBLE innings...taking it cool initially and then accelerating at just the right time.
he scored unbeaten 82.
Dhoni had the winning runs...a SIX!
**
*5 balls to spare!!!
*
**10.58 pm They are still chanting his name in the stands, I can hear fireworks go off outside my window. India are in the semi-finals, the only team from the subcontinent to make it to the final four. And it is all thanks to Kohli. Did Smith make a mistake giving Kohli the chase? He is a surreal performer when faced with a target.
Paras: "DHONI hitting the winning run CHECK CHECK CHECK"
*19.1*
**Faulkner to Dhoni, FOUR, that's the game! Dhoni has finished it with five balls to spare. Kohli sinks to the ground as the low full toss disappears to the wide long-on boundary. What a performance from the man, I can see relief on Kohli's face, he looks exhausted, he has pulled off a jaw-dropping chase. Again.
India will face WI...who lost to AfGhansistan...that means India will face New Zealand in the FINALS!!!**
Re: Australia V India
Kohli is the man of the match: "I would like to thank the crowd, it was unbelieveable, the support helps you push through those tough times. You need challenges in every game, they improve you as a cricketers. I don't know what to say, I am overwhelmed by … Yuvi had a good partnership and then MS kept me calm … We have always run well, we have an understanding, that's why you train in the gym, you have those fitness regimes, that paid off today. This innings has to be in my top three, perhaps the top right now because I'm a bit emotional."
Re: Australia V India
one of the GREATEST cricket players of the world...a legend! India is proud to have a cricketer like him, Sachin in recent cricket history!
Re: Australia V India
Wow
Re: Australia V India
A Kohli special complemented by Dhoni's cameo
Re: Australia V India
vat a powerful finish! #burnol](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=burnol)
Re: Australia V India
India kohli-fy for semis
Re: Australia V India
i see India into FINALS against New Zealand. India will probably have no problem beating WI as they have lost to AfGhanistan. WI is in the semi finals just because their group was made up of minnows unlike the strong group included giants like India, New Zealand, Australia.
the finals will be a tough cookie for India as they have already lost to them in the first tango in the tournament.
Re: Australia V India
Brilliant Kohli ! Whadda player !
Re: Australia V India
Kohli's innings was breath taking.
Re: Australia V India
When it comes to chasing ability Kohli is in a different zone.
He was clinical in his shot making today. Knew exactly where the fielders were positioned and timed his shots accordingly; milked singles and twos and then provided the flourish when it really mattered
Dhoni is such a calming influence, never looks flustered under pressure. played a little cameo himself
Re: Australia V India
there was a news about altering the pitch for india.
so these big superstar batting can only play when pitch is turned into their favours.
otherwise what happens is that they lose like minnows, like they did to NZ.
Home pitch advantage only. If this was held elsewhere the same batting would struggle

you can't take an Indian win...eh? no one during the game made any references to Indian's altering the pitch to suit them...even the players themselves didn't complain. here, you are making it out to be a gospel truth based on a biased and an unsubstantiated report by a sport's columnist appearing in Dawn News.
come on, man! admit that the better side won. India has defeated Australia in the last 5 consecutive matches, four of them in their own backyard. does it leave any doubt in your mind that the Indian team can not win matches? well, wake up and smell the coffee! :)
Re: Australia V India
Is there any match where Kohli failed
Re: Australia V India
^ His blood test should be done and that too of Dhoni. The way they were running, they must be using some drug.
Btw, he batted well on a doctored pitch.
Re: Australia V India
pitch doctored or not, it was same for 22 players, Aus scored 50+ in 4 overs too.
