Credit where it's due, well played Smith. Did it when it mattered.

2/206 off 35 overs.
Cheers
Oops forgot the number of overs, which is quite important. I have the scoreboard loaded in the corner of my computer at work, plus there is a guy at work with the cricket on the radio.
4/239 in the 40th over.

If we get around 320-330 that would be very competitive
MEB just in case you want the link to the scoreboard.

Lara said we should have scored 400
Kp said not enough
A score of 300+ once was a miracle

Dhoni batted so incredibly poorly. Left them with way too much to do.
Also, Kohli is a bit of numpty.

Certainly seems that way. Doesn't have much in the way of competition though.
Could argue Smith & Maxwell were also.
What great fielders they are, those run outs were terrific, they were still some hope whilst Dhoni was there. he can be so explosive.
Australia getting 78 off the last 7 overs after India had almost ground us to a halt over the previous 6 or 7 was a fantastic effort and is what kept them ultimately at arms length for India's whole innings.

Disagree with that. India needed to increase the run rate 15 overs out and Dhoni started playing like it was a test match. Never even gave them a chance of hitting the runs. As the captain of the team, he should be leading the way and I don't think he did that anywhere near well enough.
Then there was the runout he gave up on...
This article is damning:

Don't know what was going on with him but it never really seemed like his head was in that run chase.
Run a ball 65 ain't so bad. Throwing his wicket away was pointless at that stage, but it's a tough situation to be in. Aboslutely agree about the runout though!
Australia's batting depth compared to India's was really glaring. Our tail end dragged us to a decent enough score when 280-290 looked all too possible. Johnson really ripped their heart out a bit at the end i reckon.

Johnson making runs always seems to do wonders for his bowling. Gives him that bit of confidence, I can see him having a big final.
