Unfortunately we don't get the chance to boot India out of the WC. Until the final.

Wow, didn't expect that. Remarkable fightback from the Aussies but SAF doing India a favor

fecking Aussies are incredible. One batsman injured. Top order gone and they still were close.

Should be fun, I love playing Australia. Although if my tickets for Thursday get sorted I’m wondering if it’ll be full of Indians thinking they were going to be watching them

My team WC Eleven. Many top performers missed out but had to balance the team.

India finally playing NZ. Aussies vs England.

Would be interesting to see how England does if they chase.
Convinced we will collapse if we have to chase any score that’s half decent, we need to win the toss to have a chance I reckon

Huge win for India (although NZ would be playing for their lives). Eng Aus should be a cracker. Wish it was Pak instead of NZ. It would have been India pak and eng aus.

Anyways Kiwis trashed us in the warm up game. If it's a green pitch then Boult can destroy us.

Shaheen
Bumrah

Spinners have been largely irrelevant in this tournament, Shaheen's 16 wickets in 5 games get him in over Amir and Mustafizur. Yeah I could have had another bat in but for a tournament where top order batsmen and quicks have flourished the most, felt fair to pick a team that reflected that.

We're going to see a reverse of the group stage fixtures

England beat Australia
India beat England

Glad Tahir is retiring, seen enough of his cnutish celebration.
One thing I never get is when a batsman smashes a ball but it gets caught just short of the boundary and the bowler celebrates as if he's just taken out middle stump. Baffling
