Jadeja is why you play Maxwell in the semi.
Both world class fieldsman, can bat & bowl.
X factor that can win you a match.
Hell we could play Maxwell as the all rounder and bat him at 7 with Wade coming in for Stoinus at 6.

Dhoni - great cut shot but you really needed to step on the gas 5 over earlier .

Heart-tightening semi-final. Terrific to watch.
Yaaaay, Kiwis!! :D :D :thumbsu: :thumbsu:

Jadeja and Dhoni n-e-a-r-l-y pinched it, respect to both.
Guptil superb throw clinched it, Dhoni gone by cms.

Now, if it rains solidly for 11 days (hey, it IS Summer in Pommieland :rolleyes:), we win the World Cup.

The other issue is that we don’t want to add too many new players because this could unsettle the team balance and could affect the performance of the other batters/bowlers.

New Zealand are never easy beats. Wouldn't they love a go at the Aussies.

If I knew the forecast going to be rainy , NZ would be the last team I would want to play in England.
Their bowlers thrive in the sorts of conditions where the ball will move through the air.
Boult's hat-trick vs us in the group stages shows the danger, even though it was in the last over.

Dry deck, would much rather play NZ than take on the Indian or English batsmen in a runfest.
