We are fucked beyond belief if he doesn't score big.
Agreed, but most teams are. Rohit and Kohli are India's Kane and Rossco. Their supporting cast are a lot better than ours though.
@rotated Yeah, just because we are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get us (and you may well be onto it early).
I'm not so sure about that I think the problem has been some diabolical form from guys you'd hoped would have done better ( Guptill and Latham mainly )

@Siam Rosco would, his stats are incredible.

That's all we've got though, sadly.

@Siam said in Black Caps v India - Semi Final:
@MN5 which player other than kane would make their batting line up?
Yep, none
I know Rossco is underrated overseas amongst the very top echelon of the game but to see a Black Cap fan not even mention him brings cold feelings to my heart.

@MN5 yep my bad, typo. Wonder if both would be in the same 11 though
I don't think there's an international ODI squad that Taylor wouldn't walk into. In some cases he'd be second fiddle but for pretty much all the teams who've already gone home he'd be their best batsman.

Depends if it's a like for like replacement or if we just combine the best players of each team. A combined team would include Kane, Rosco, Boult and Ferg IMO.
We have some world class players, I really think we've badly underperformed in the last three games.
-
Tendulkar has written us off which is great to see.
The vitriol the Indian team will get from their fans will be next level if they lose.
No pressure!

Have to think BCs are more dangerous now as they are due...whereas had they been playing well, they would also be due...

@No-Quarter Boult would get a run. Don't think they need Ferg as their spinners do the same role and concede less.
As for the game, I just can't will myself any hope. Jesus, I've got more expectations when buying a lotto ticket than imagining how we're going to nick this tonight.
Actually my best hope is in how many times in life I've been staggeringly wrong before!
India by 6 wickets or 88 runs

Aussies are trying to talk us up as a chance.
Tell 'em they're dreaming
-
Well we're going to know pretty early if this is going to be a contest or not.
Comon lads!

Let's get this party started!!
