9th Match: Australia v India (Group A)

[shravi]

If Austraila gets over 300 then India get a tough run chase

You can't be serious. Really?

Steady powerplay so far, credit to Dhoni for bowling Mishra during the powerplay hes definitely a lot harder to get away and Nehra has done well. Wonder if Johnson will come in next, I reckon he should.

 

[SaiSrini]

214 off 39 overs is such an ominous sign. Harbhajan has been a mega failure in this tournament so far. And it hurts us again. Just hope that our batters bat much better than last game and help us chase whatever Australia set. Both Nehra and Praveen have bowled very well. Its Ishant who bowled badly today. Ishant and Bhajji have hurt us. Mishra has been beautiful and has justified his inclusion (he should have played against Pakistan as I said). From here, get some more overs from Raina and minimise the Ishant-Bhajji effect.

I sense that Johnson might not make that much impact against us today. When a batsman comes with lot of hype behind him and faces us, invariably he fails (e.g. Afridi)

What a shot from White, that has gone miles... we are going at a great pace.

 

[aussie1st]

Gutted Hussey could have caused some serious damage here. Moment of truth on whose coming in next.

 

[SaiSrini]

90 from here will get them to 317. That will be huge enough. I guess Wasim Akram might actually be right with his predictions.

YAAY! Ishant gets the demon, Hussey!!! Finally he does some good!

 

[shravi]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...now get 6 more.

 

[deepuparayil]

Aussies to end up in 280-290.

 

[aussie1st]

Sticking with our order, can't complain with the way White is hitting it and Ferguson is good at rotating the strike. If White gets out I'd send Johnson in although Hopes is a handy hitter too.

 

[SaiSrini]

Finally, a good over from Ishant Sharma. A chance for him to make a good comeback here. If he can pick up two more wickets, he would have made a good comeback.

 

[Adarsh]

Oh my goodness! A good over from Ishant in the last 10 !

Adarsh added 2 Minutes and 52 Seconds later...

Aussies have wasted 2 overs.

 

[SaiSrini]

Ishant is bowling the slower ones well. The last over too, his slower one got Hussey and kept White on a leash.

Damn! The rain forces the players in. What a disappointment!

 

[aussie1st]

Dam looks like we will miss out on the fun part of ODI cricket for our innings anyway.

 

[deepuparayil]

What happens if it continues to rain the rest of the day?
Will India get out of CT?

 

[xvalerianx]

What happens,if this match is washed out? Do India still have a chance,to qualify for the semis?
