Balanced game so far.
I think Dhoni is very underated as a ODI captain. His field placements and his use of bowlers are second to none imo.

If this is the pitch for the final, and if we get there... Would be perfect

Gone.164 in 15 overs. Rahim just has to go for it now in the powerplay.
Maybe they are hoping that with more teams they can grow the game. Football used to have just 16 teams, then 24 and now its 32. The game has grown massively in the last 40 years and a part of that came to having more teams from around the world able to make it to a world cup.I don't understand why ICC did away with Super 6s concept. 2007 of course was a disaster with Super 8s and in general everything, but they should have gone back to super 6s instead of old knockout format.
An ideal WC would be - 12 teams, divided into 2 groups of 6. 3 teams qualifying to super 6. That would result in a proper contest during group stages as well. Plus more contests with stronger sides facing each other during super 6s.

Too easy for India as I expected.
Never expected India to be so clinical and professional. It's like watching another team.
Still not confident with our batting. Virat's has looked patchy through out the tournament despite the hundred against Pakistan. He needs to come to the party next game.
Sydney should suit our team to the tee. Can we do it against the Aussies and reach another final? It's the hope that kills.
Ganguly is such a cocky guy. Hope Australia knock them out in the semi.

Commentators really wanted Kohli to get involved there.
I still have hope for Pakistan. In that there is a part of me that agrees with what @Dumbstar says.
The Pakistani dressing room will be buzzing now! They can smell the moola.
Only one thing beats Cornered Tigers and that's Selfish, Greedy Desperate Dogs!! FTW!
13 years of wumming and still not banned.
#Respect.
We'll talk tomorrow.
No chance in hell that Pakistan beats Australia.
Let's bet, Dumbdumb. 100 pounds to the forum?
This. Like Rooney we peaked too early.We've been pretty much perfect this tournament so far. Which probably means we are due a massive feck up in the semis
Let's be honest, before the tournament, we really were piss poor. Getting to the semis isn't a big surprise, given the tournament format. The clinical performances are a surprise thoughIs it surprising that India are in the semis? When I asked before the WC, quite a few were suggesting they would be out in the QFs. And are we playing either Aus or Pak in the semis?
