    Australia batting. On the evidence of the world cup so far, that makes the Aussies firm favourites

    bad toss to lose .. let's hope the early morning dew has got onto the pitch making it a green seamer (small hope though)

    Aussie will win against us and NZ. They have to be the favourites. All round they have a good batting line up, good bowlers and have it form at the right time.

    They lost their last match. We just beat India and NZ in what were effectively knockout games for us.

    It wasn't Dhoni that lost them the game.  It was the 1, 1, 1 start. 
    Dhoni didn't lose the game.
    But the lavish praise the commentators gave him all match, based on his performance in this match, was OTT and not justified.
    if Guptill's throw had missed .. India would have won .. as for Dhoni going too slow ..  Williamson did a similar job for NZ and was praised for it .. most innings that get off to a sticky start need a player to hold up one end while his partner hits out, especially if his side has a long tail .. the criticism of Dhoni is not totally justified
    When Jadeja was doing the business, his job was to stay in and support. I thought he did that well. You have to look higher up the innings to see India's problem. When you are 20 something for 4 you are pretty much buggered and the batsmen that brought them back in it deserve some praise.

    Warner is key for the Aussies. 
    Get him early and we have a decent chance.

    Australia beat England at Lord's ( I was there) because of four reasons.
    1. batting 2.bowling 3.fielding 4.luck.

    If you are best at the first 3 then luck will gravitate in that direction.

    We were baited into playing poor shots at Lord's, will we do the same mistakes today and possibly tomorrow ?

    Get Smith and I might go against years of experienced pessimism and think we're going to win!

    It's boot to the neck time. We need to choke the life out of the crims.

    Smith: 1 run off 17 balls.  Maybe we should try to keep him on strike..? 

    :wink:

    This is the second worst start any team has made in a World Cup semi-final. Australia were 8-3 in Mohali in 1996 and went on to win.
