Neesh gets a life. Yikes.
Come on, lads. Must we remind you again this is a SEMI FINAL???But, they have trips to Wimbledon to organise?
@Donsteppa My bad. Can't let work get in the way of play.

This pitch is a dog. The secret is India have bowled consistently and not bowled any pies or half-volleys to break the shackles.
I do not have faith that an attack with Henry and Santner can replicate the Indian's consistency with the ball - but I guess anything is possible.

Sounds like it's a new pitch so was hard to predict how it would play.
If Henry has one of his good games then he'll be a real handful.

Yet all the experts pre-game had looked at it and were predicting a belter.

Today's pitch or the one from the 1999 semi-final? I feel like they've spent more time on that one.

We are meekly bowing out.
Actually we've been meekly bowing out for more than a week
@mariner4life all downhill since our “big” win against Sri Lanka

Someone remind me why Latham is in the side?

We're specialising in slow awkward runs?

Grr starting to rain which means wet field which means wet ball when we bowl. Not cool.
-
How was that not a wide. Well above his head.

Ross finds the middle of the bat for the first time in the 44th over

If we go on a tear and suddenly score at 9s we are doomed any way. Our only hope is that this is a minefield that's getting worse.

Yeah, thats the thing. If we smash it from here and get 250 .. it proves the pitch is fine and India will be home in 30 overs.

Then it was a 300+ pitch and our skipper's strike rate doomed us from the start.
Doubt this is the case, even if we got 260 the bowlers still have to do the business. Against Pakistan the pitch played in our favour in the second innings and we couldn't take advantage.
