If India lose, I blame you not watching.

I...... I..... I..... can't help it. There's somewhere else that I need to be

No where could be more important than Motera tomorrow, yet I can't be there.

Tomorrow's game should be epic!

Listening to this on replay up until then

I can't see youtube videos. Can someone please tell me what's in it? Thanks

Pak win by 10 wickets. They play India in semi finals.

Fixed.

Cricinfo says Ponting reckons the pitch will spin more in the second innings, and observes that India has struggled to chase us in global tournaments. This tells me we need to bat first today. If Sehwag can't play, our chances of winning improve slightly.

I predict Ponting will fall for <25 again. :rolleyes:

I reckon Clarke will do well

We've lost Michael Yardy and he's flown home suffering from depression.

Yeah, the full interview about it on the Radio he suggests he's been suffering with it since the start of the WC (well , no .. he suffers with it often, a recurring problem), probably due to being away from friends and family for so long.

Would explain his performances so far.

Virender Sehwag fit to play!

Kanpai · 24 Mar 2011 at 08:33

Australia won the toss and are going to bat first

Kanpai · 24 Mar 2011 at 08:34

This might be good for India chasing a score instead of going a bit crazy towards the last 10 overs.

That's what I think too. But Pathan isn't playing, how will they chase down 50 in the last 5 overs on a turning track?

It's really going to turn in the 2nd innings, thank God Australia's spinners are poor

Kanpai · 24 Mar 2011 at 08:43

You never know, India might even magically improve their bowling today and limit Australia to 200-250

. Only time will tell!

Phew, thank goodness for that. It's our only chance to scrape a win.

Ooh, four runs already! Could victory be in sight!

Sudden · 24 Mar 2011 at 09:09

From cricinfo -

sathish: "no 15-run first over.. India won the first battle."

hah

Cosimo · 24 Mar 2011 at 09:11

At last a four. 9-1 after 3.

Sankari · 24 Mar 2011 at 09:26

Four 4s and a 6 now.

Cosimo · 24 Mar 2011 at 09:29

Here come the Ozzies.

Cosimo · 24 Mar 2011 at 09:39

Watson gone, 40-1.

TheCenturion · 24 Mar 2011 at 09:40

Good start from India
