If Irfan was fit, we may have been able to cause their openers some problems and stop Warner-Finch getting off to a fast start. But without him I don't see Australia having many issues with our bowling attack. Also, Starc & Johnson will have a field day against our batsmen. Would be shocked if we managed to win.

Oh don't get me wrong. I'm in 100% agreement with you there. There is not a single player that Aus would take or need.
But this is Pak looking for its payday. The hungry desperate dog always wins.
But so can Kohli, Williamson and Smith. Tbh, I struggled most when picking an Aussie name.
About 12 hours to go. Can't wait.
Maxwell has the highest strike rate in the tournament doesn't he
India - Bangladesh will be the closest tie of the quarters. Expect the Aussies and New Zealand to breeze through.
No idea. But he can't hit centuries with ease. You expect one of Warner, Smith and Clarke to turn up on most days though.
These pitches are so docile, and our batsmen have finally played themselves into some form. The game against the Aussies isn't a foregone conclusion.
I think it is. Not just the batsmen, but Pak has been crap at fielding, bowling...overall. Don't get your hopes high.
We are in agreement.
Bangladesh beating India however would be an upset however "not bad" Bangladesh are.
We'll smash them if we get a full game.
I hope that we bat first. Would love it if Rohit and Virat can get some runs before the big clash against the Australians in the semis.
PS: Dumbstar is a Pakistani liverpool fan. That's just fantastic.
I just hope Windies win against NZ. I'll be here sitting and waiting.
Thanks.
2st Quarter-Final: India vs Bangladesh
India win the toss and batting first. Starts in 15 mins
Cmon India!
300 plus should be the target.
India will score something like 330 which will be too much for Bangladesh.
That's a good thing for them, they don't depend on any single player to get the big runs.
Bloody hell, what a shit way to lose your wicket.
Hearing the third umpire. Is that a new thing?
Hearing the third umpire. Is that a new thing?
He was bound to go anyway. Looked scared shitless.
Shit, Kohli gone.
two down. Finally it gets interesting
Beautiful bowling that.
fecking cnut Kohli was my fantasy team captain
Hmmm.. this will get tight..
India struggling to get runs. Bangladesh bowling really well.
Its just matter of small partnerships,runs will start to flow again.
I am worried about others playing Rohit out of touch here.. he was looking good but was starved off the strike by others. That's how set batsman get out.
Agree with that, new batsmen getting in need to rotate the strike,take singles give as much strike to their senior partner,at least for first few overs.
My worry here is too many dot balls played in an over,instead they need to look for more singles.Boundaries in over is fine but you need to keep running which keeps you active and alert.
If these two stay around till 35th over, get say 30-35 more runs in those 9 overs, India can launch from there to get around 125 in last 15. 270 or so should be very competitive and likely to be match winning.
Rahne.. dickhead..
fecking hell.
Keep calm, kanna keep calm. Watch Pepsi IPL on Starsports.com
Wtf Rahane. terrible way to get out.
"Aleem Dar may have just been stung by a wasp here, folks. Doesn't look all that pleased...I know, very random indeed"
Phew
Need to up the run rate. 250 - 260 can be easily chased by Bangladesh..
what happened? cricinfo just stopped at Review.
ah a leg before review.
Fair review really. Masrafe definitely had a case.
From cricinfo commentary, it seems the review was very close.
