@Chris-B interesting game tonight. We're bowling? Good. Fucking hate watching us bat

I get that.

Welcome to the world of Black Cap supporter.

[NTA]

Nice and tight at the moment bar a shocking over from NCN

[NTA]

Reckon we'll lose this. And that may not be a bad thing

[NTA]

No threat from Bowlers 3-6 at this point. Fairly tame deck. India playing smart.

[Chris B.]

@NTA India can bat in T20 mode from here - 190 for 1 after 33.

They'll want 350+ .

[NTA]

@Chris-B they'll get 360 at least

[canefan]

This will be the biggest run chase in Aussie CWC history

[Wairau]

Starc goes for 6, 4 from Dhoni, loving watching him rattled....
finishes his 10 with 1-74

[NTA]

353 to win. We're fucked. Stoinis grabbed a couple in the last to limit the damage.

I'm off to bed to see if Mrs TA is interested in something as inept as that bowling attack.

[sparky]

Loving seeing the Aussies concede big, big runs. C'mon India!

[Victor Meldrew]

Oz scoring rate woefully slow in the 1st 30 overs.

That said, India bowled really well and Carey played a very special innings. Looks a class player.

[sparky]

Australia 316 all out, including an amazing 50 off 25 balls from Alex Carey. Tame stuff apart from that.

India win by 36 runs. A brutal reality check.

[MajorRage]

A billion plus people, of which all are cricket fans. Over 50 mill players.

And MS Dhoni makes the team, and keeps, at 37.

What a legend.

The fact we got within 40 runs is encouraging. I'm thinking Lyons was a better spin option than Zampa TBH.

But it's India's cup to lose from here

[Paekakboyz]

@NTA I'm sure there's a joke here about penetration but that'd be a bit crass, even for the fern

[NTA]

@Paekakboyz having been around these chumps nearly 20 years, I'm sure you're wrong

[No Quarter]

Like us Aussie are pretty reliant on taking wickets at the top with their two strike bowlers. The rest looked pretty ineffective, though it was a flat deck against the best batting lineup in the world.

India are going to be tough to beat. We really need a green wicket against them or we're no chance.

[Paekakboyz]

@NTA being wrong is a core part of the fern experience!!

Don't tell me, you hit the bails, they lit up, but no wicket??

I think both England and India will be very tough to beat. India's bowlers shade England's IMO, but the poms batting line-up might be longer and stronger. There can be only one.

However, on their day, Oz, NZ, Windies and maybe even Pakistan could roll either.

I'm happy to say that I scored freely but had a very energetic and willing partner
