CWC Semi Final - Black Caps v India

[Donsteppa]

O for Awesome.

[Mokey]

Fark the Craps are tough to support sometimes. Two shit dismissals in two balls.

[Mokey]

@Bones Or at least threaten to so we can get some fours.

[No Quarter]

Thata boy Santner Clause.

Not too bothered about wickets at this stage! 7 is a bloody good craps over when there's 2 wickets.

[Bones]

Batting looks pretty easy on this pitch...

We will have to play out of skins to be any chance.

[No Quarter]

India need 240 to win.

I'd call that even this morning. We didn't get away but we also didn't collapse in a heap.

India overall strong favourites, but an early wicket or two will change things very quickly.

[TeWaio]

One fucking boundary in the last 4 overs. Gaaah.

[Bovidae]

Henry needs to bowl like he did against SA not the WI.

A Michelle from Boult would be nice.

28 runs for 3 wickets in just under 4 overs this morning. India definitely had the better of those overs IMO.

[Paekakboyz]

@TeWaio they did bowl well though. And we missed the 2-3 rougher balls. Esp that full toss Latham got.. or didn't get.

[Mokey]

Pretty frustrating how we managed to pick out the fielders with precision.

First 10 overs are going to be absolutely critical. If we can rattle them early, game on. If they get away to a flyer, we are stuffed.

[Donsteppa]

"Runs on the board"

Now fingers crossed...

[Bovidae]

Time for Guptill to do a Jadeja. That will get the missus talking.

[Cyclops]

To be honest I think that was the best case scenario for us. If Ross had plundered 50 runs then it would probably mean that the pitch had flattened out overnight and India would get home in a canter. Instead we looked to make the most of a pitch that was tough to get your timing right and lost wickets regularly in the process.

[Mokey]

No pressure Boult (or Lockie) but a hat trick in your first over would be grand.

[Bones]

"As we come into the second day of this one day international." Nice.

[hydro11]

Didn't see a lot in the pitch for Boult.

[hydro11]

Big wicket!
