Australia vs India - ICC World Cup 2015 Semi Final 2 @ SCG 2:30pm 26/03/15

[Harris Specter]

Tried for himself. Never had a crack.

Okay, I'd like to see your tactics when batsmen keep getting out at the other end.

 

[Andrew Mc]

HAHA, Dhoni basically admitted he gave up the chase early because he had no faith in his lower order to score runs

Pathetic really.

 

[fishardansin]

But Aussies please don't stoop to the depths of racism that is endemic in a nation built upon a caste system.

There are some pretty s**t things said about 7/11s, taxis ect ect. Give that a break guys.

 

[Mitchell54]

Great win Aussies, Spectacular fielding at the death. Now come on Aussies!! Surely we can't lose to a tribe of Kiwis. Let's give'em a beating!


Feel sorry for Dhoni though, he is just about the only one who contributed well to the team. Dhawan and Rahane also did well, congragulations to them. But the rest of the Indian team did bugger all.

 

[Doss]

Right, cut out the racist s**t instantly. No warnings.

 

[Neese]

Still love Boof

 

[dumb]

the win is so much sweeter because we know india are very stiff competition. still scooping the shephards pie out of my daks from earlier.

 

[Gak Attack]

Okay, I'd like to see your tactics when batsmen keep getting out at the other end.

In a knockout game I'd be scoring as quickly as I could, no one is going to be upset if he got out going for the win but to give up cause it was unlikely is poor.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Okay, I'd like to see your tactics when batsmen keep getting out at the other end.

What, all two of them who got out while he was there? Before he gave up and let himself become run out? Pathetic, particularly for a captain.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Yes!!! Watched the gamed in the Office Bar in Bangkok. A lot of ex-pat Aussies there so we had a good time. A few Indian supporters who left when Kohli got out

Great to see Mohammed Shami get belted, I think I could score runs against him, even after 5 pints of Heineken.

Bad luck India, but no matter how well the ICC looked after you, eventually you have to play a good side. The final should be a belter, looking forward to it already.

Okay, I'd like to see your tactics when batsmen keep getting out at the other end.

But that's what we are saying, Dhoni and Rahane put on a partnership for about 20 or so overs, yet instead of trying to pick up the run rate, they just hit dot balls and singles.

Dhoni basically admitted in his interview that he thought when he came in that 6-7 an over was too much to get because he has no faith in his lower order to get any runs.

 

[Xtreme]

Feels like the Aussie side is really coming together as a formidable force that it hasn't been for a while. Looking forward to the WC final and moreso the Ashes.

Pencil in a win to Australia purely because England are in the cricketing wilderness right now and show no sign of recovering.

 

[dumb]

called it on india giving up.

mind you... dhoni and rahane pissing around isn't going to make it any easier for the lower order is it? ashwin and jadeja are more or less allrounders.

 

[3rdManUp]

lol at KP's GOAT comment

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Hi Indian fans, sorry for my performance, bigfooty played their part in getting me out. Well played Aussies, you guys were the better team.

I will give it back next world cup. I need time to recover.

Kudos for being gracious in defeat, pity the same can't be said for another Indian on here.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Now which players effigy will Indian fans torch tonight ?
My guess is this guy [can't catch,can't bowl & can't bat when needed most]

I've seen the guy bat well, but commentators carry on about his fielding as if he's the next Viv Richards. I've never understood that, today wasn't the first time I've seen him turf a sitter. Great to see him fail

 

[smasha]

Hope the weather is good for the big day because it is Wintry right now.

 

[peternorth]

Kudos for being gracious in defeat, pity the same can't be said for another Indian on here.

shame to see really, that flogs posts. similarly posts from Aust XI supporters engaging him.

hope recess is over

 

[God Save Max King]

Good game, hats off to Steve Smith and Hazlewood, won the game with good cricket. Great to see that it never got too heated in the middle.

 

[Mitchell54]

I absolutely can't stand the amount of racism on this thread. i'm pretty close to reporting people for Racism here.

[lewigie]

My old cricket coach always said "Lose quietly, win even quieter". Seems a few of our BF posters haven't heard that mantra.......

Yeah because what a few flogs on big footy say after the game is really important..

 

[MisterMarcus]

Dhoni did the reverse Imran Khan....talked about how bad everyone else was except himself....

 

[lewigie]

Kudos for being gracious in defeat, pity the same can't be said for another Indian on here.

He was being a flog all WC up until they got flogged today ! He deserves getting ripped into.

still going to bleed blue mate ?

 

[Special Agent Utah]

I thought it was a rubbish interview by Dhoni,

Blamed Dhawan for losing his wicket and implied he knew they were no chance (Which was evident the way he batted and his wicket) Really really disappointing innings and chase IMO
