Decent effort from NZ but was just too good a score. And Shami picking up 7. India 10 on the bounce and pretty much cruised every single game. Feel Australia only team that will give them a proper game in the final - SA got battered by India last week.
this is the real big one for me. sa have won the toss and gone to bat. imo that could be crucial here. it's going to he a big big game though.
its gone absolutely **** for them. not as bad as v india but its pretty abysmal. 164/6 off 42. Its pretty safe to say they need a massive bowling showing
SA total likely to be around 200,not enough surely. Just looking at the Aussie bowling figures......Hazlewood - 8 overs...3 maidens....12 runs....2 wickets
Australia just need to try see out shamsi spinning it when he gets it in the right area. Run rates not a problem. maxwell idea was to just hit him out of the attack or smack a quick 30 to get it done it seems but was a horrible shot. Making it bit more interesting at least. Might finally get a close game!
is a very different Semi final to the one I thought it would be but its a dog fight. 18 runs or 3 wickets and forget the overs left, there 8 of them. To tap 18 singles you need to be a real tough nut here but to take 3 wickets you'll have to bowl very well.
Prob the right result to try make a decent final. Aus the better team so may cause India more problems and probably only team that can beat them atm. at least was a decent game for a change
