Australia v India, ICCCT, Centurion, Sep 28

bring it on !

This will be massive.

All the pressure on India, as the Aussies have two chances to book their place in the semis.

Pocson for a superb century

What, 0-100 off his 10 overs?

Like he'll get through 10 overs without snapping something...

must win for india. set to play 5 bowlers. looks like yusuf or kohli would miss out with mishra coming in. also, praveen in for RP. bombarding the aussies with spin seems to be the plan.

should be an absolute cracker.

just took 5-1 on hussey to be top scorer for oz, ditto dhoni for ind. 7-1 india winning the tournament is decent considering SL are 6-1 and they relying on nrr.

Tipping India on this one even though the Aussies are the beter balanced side.
Dhoni made tactical errors in the last match. He allowed Pakistan to drift and settle down by using his parttimers at a time where they were 3 down for not a lot. India never recovered from that despite Gambhir's magnificient counter attack.

Will keep this group wide open if India win today else they can brace themselves for the media feeding frenzy back home.

On paper the Indians should smash us. Can't wait for iSook 2.0's reaction when he gets cleaned up early.

Australia batting first. Looking at some of the recent results, the team batting first goes on to win.

Fark me, Drunky won a toss. I bet we are batting on a seamer. Better get my skates on to see iSook 2.0's amusing dismissal.

The team batting first at this venue has won on every occasion in this tournament so far except for the NZ/SA match. And the difference there was that the chase was not under lights.

If India loses it's out, if the Aussies lose they can still progress by beating Pakistan.

BJ has just called this the clash of world cricket's heavyweights.

WTF?

as expected, india pick 5 bowlers. its a policy that has almost always backfired and with a weakened batting line up, we better hope that aus dont put up a big total. chasing in this tournament has been hard enough as henry says.

no clarke is a boost for ind.

teams:

SR Watson, TD Paine†, RT Ponting*, MEK Hussey, CJ Ferguson, CL White, JR Hopes, MG Johnson, B Lee, NM Hauritz, PM Siddle

G Gambhir, SR Tendulkar, R Dravid, SK Raina, MS Dhoni*†, V Kohli, A Mishra, Harbhajan Singh, A Nehra, I Sharma, P Kumar

50/50 chance, although some tend to lose the toss more than others.

Geez, Watson is a sook. Gets out first ball in one game and suddenly Paine is facing the first delivery.

watson out to nehra.

Watson sure gets bowled and lbw a lot

iSook 2.0 sooks off shaking his head for a duck. Surely this twat will go down as the worst cricketer to play 50+ international games for Austalia?

That the same Ishant who was topping out at around 132 against Pak?

The same Ishant who topped 150klicks against Ponting a few years back?
