we might make the runs in wides the way they going

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Inglis won't get a better chance to make the ODI keeper spot his.

 

[kane249]

Dumb Smith

 

[ep2018]

How embarrassing we might actually lose chasing a low total on a seemingly batting wicket.

 

[Hook461123]

Inglis time to show that winning all those championships with WA means something.
Bring it home

This is a long way from "batting" wicket TBF.

 

[Tugga27]

Why Smith?
Why?

 

[ep2018]

Nah SA choked the start of their innings and we went too hard trying to end the chase early. A good example of how a small chase can be dangerous.

Are you watching the game?

It's bloody hard work.
Especially against the spinners.

If we didn't go hard early we wouldve already lost.

We cant play spin lol, maybe its why we went hard early. We are poor against spin and spells danger against India if we make it that far.

This is cricket.

Shove your 400+ scores right up your backside. Something in it for everyone.

Regardless.

Just the scores should tell you it isn't east batting out there, for both teams.

We've done well to make it to the semi's.
Making the final would be a massive achievement.

 

[Mop]

cmon Starcy time to spank this one into the stands

 

[Mop]

.. or not

 

[KBLT]

India are going to annihilate us.

 

[Keys]

Well we’re through to another ODI World Cup Final

Fair effort

 

[Tugga27]

India are going to annihilate us.

Who cares?

A massive effort from the team just to make it through.
After the first 2 games, most thought we'd be lucky to make top 4.
I did anyway.

8th time in a final is enormous.

You're not wrong, it's been a great turnaround, and its definitely worth acknowledging. That being said...

I care.

I really, really don't want India to win this world cup. Honestly, if it was us vs New Zealand, I wouldn't be too upset in we lost.

Anyone but India & England. Maybe the Saffers too.

We only needed 4 an over but boy did we play some dumb shots.

It'd be nice to see Travis Head develop a 2nd gear.

 

[Dazzler9]

Anything can happen in a final. India look unstoppable, but they are human. If it bleeds, we can kill it.

Didn't we have them something like 3/1 in the group game?

 

[Truckosaurus]

Well we’re through to another ODI World Cup Final

Fair effort

I didn't think we'd make it with our form in the lead up and start to the tournament. Credit to the team, they turned it around. Individuals delivering in the clutch mostly but that's cricket.

Win or lose from here at least we got two things out of this:

• Maxwell completing ODI cricket
• Knocking SA out of another semi

 

[Dazzler9]

Can't wait to see what the curators cook up for the final.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Can't wait to see what the curators cook up for the final.

Really hope India lose the toss.

 

[Ochre]

[Farang83150]

Good money says it's played on THE most used pitch at the ground, any grass seen with the slightest tinge of green and the curator loses his job.
