Champions Trophy Game 13 1st Semi Final Australia v India 4/3 1930hrs @ Dubai International Cricket Stadium

[magpiemaniac44]

If I'm being honest, seeing this tournament and the T20 WC completely slanted towards India, really takes away some enjoyment from the tournament, it's pathetic

Also not very confident about this one, India have got everything in their favour and we have half a team out. Not thrilled at all about JMF, Hardie or Connolly coming in, but think one of them have to open. Don't want to shift around the middle order that has done well.

Obviously its a level up but Connolly batted at 3 in the BBL and often came in early cos the openers sucked. So it isn't a stretch to slot him in for Short
Can't be much worse than the Test performance

There was plenty of turn in the game against NZ the other night. We’d be better with Connolly I’d say rather than a quick. But frankly I dont rate our chances highly at all unless we bat first.

The Kiwis really should have won. They choked.

He was on a hiding to nothing in the Test match when he batted. I’d reckon he was told to have a dash.

You trust our bowlers to defend a total?

India Australia head to head in the last 15 years is 23 - 23

Australia batting. Warming to the idea.

Rohit happy to lose the toss. I felt the same but alas we won.

I like Smith's thinking.....get runs on the board, scuff the wicket up over 50 overs, then put the pressure on India.

Seemed the logical selections given the pitch conditions...Inglis to open?

Feels like we've played them a lot more than that.

Cooper is one opener, isn't he?

 

[Cleavy]

batting first. we have a chance!

Cooper is one opener, isn't he?

Be surprised if he opens...Reckon he'll slot in at 6 or 7

Connolly as expected opens so as not to mess with the current order

Sangha in for Johnson means the pitch could be a Bunsen burner

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Didn't get easier for the Kiwis batting second the other night so the right call I think

Kohli rabbiting on about 'how he wants to play the game'.....riiight.
