Cricket: The World Cup 2015 Thread - It's Australia yet again !

NPV · 25th March 2015, 12:24

Well, the big question is now will it be New Zealand Vs India or New Zealand Vs Australia ?

Looking forward to a well fought India-Aus match and really hoping India can crack the Aussie code that has been elusive since November 2014

Huge day ahead for India today! Headed to work and the whole floor is wearing a shade of blue today.

MSD's last match today ?

Soumyajit9 · 26th March 2015, 10:49

Damn, the Aussies are playing superb ! Very consistent, no hurry, easy play !!

Just wish and pray that the Indians don't start fumbling at this !!

vibbs · 26th March 2015, 10:52

I think we are looking at a 330-350 score.

If not 350, I am expecting atleast 320.

Latheesh · 26th March 2015, 10:55

and India all out for total <250?

joe1980 · 26th March 2015, 11:05

I guess Australia is poised for a total > 370! It seems very very challenging for India at the moment! If India were to restrict Australia to 300, they need another 3 or 4 wickets from Australia's top batting order!

Naaah, India struggles with 8th wicket partnership to defeat Austraaailia

I really want India to win this. Had they been out in KO or Quarters, it would have been okay, but no turning back now !!!

vibbs · 26th March 2015, 11:12

Double the score at 33 over mark is the mantra. Which means 362.

I am just waiting for the onslaught to begin once we get into the Power Plays.

It wont be anywhere below 350 unless there is a miracle.

joe1980 · 26th March 2015, 11:16

Looks like Australia is accelerating with their batting! A 6 and a 4 every over! Who is going to stop them?

Marauder · 26th March 2015, 11:20

Smith goes

But it still looks like the target is going to be well over 350.

Gannu_1 · 26th March 2015, 11:33

I am also guessing 350+ for the Aussies. Man, our poor batsmen would be under immense pressure. :(

EDIT: Maxwell gone! Holy crap Finch gone too! Wooohooot!

joe1980 · 26th March 2015, 11:40

The danger man Maxwell is gone! This is the time for the Indian bowlers to improvise and contain the Australians!

Two more wickets please!

Soumyajit9 · 26th March 2015, 11:42

Damage is already done :-(
No amount of super bowling can restrict a 300+ score :-(

EDIT :: One more gone !!
Shall I start singing "Mauka Mauka" ??
