If Aus best India, then the same 4 teams will qualify in the men's and women's tournament.

We should import some NZ women

Was he asking an Afghan reporter for dinner ?

At least SA is not wearing the "chokers" label this time. They never looked like a threatening team in any of their games.

Afghanistan win and secure an hour of national celebration. Their tournament is instantly successful adventure. While I am really pleased for them, I have to wonder how different our West Indies encounter could have ended but for individual moments of insanity. This Afghan team have shown that through slow and spin bowling, a game in these conditions is masterfully won. Kudos!

OK... I think India will kick ass here

 

[SlowInternet]

Afghanistan pulled off what we couldn't.

They deserved the win.

 

[SlowInternet]

OK... I think India will kick ass here

Haha...I hope Australia wins the game.

 

[SlowInternet]

Great start by Australia. 31/0 after 3ovs.

 

[AirWolf]

Hope Australia go through. India need to be taken down a notch or two for all the hypocracy in the game.

India pulling it back a bit.

 

[AirWolf]

Aussies managed 160/6. Decent total. Looked like they were on for 200 after the first 4 overs. India did well to pull it back.

Wrong. We scored 230 in our first game. You should never lose defending 230. That is where they choked and that is why they aren't in the semi's.

The SS stream today is terrible buffers every minute or so.

 

[Creag]

End of over 6 (3 runs) India 37/2 (124 runs required from 14 overs, RR: 6.16, RRR: 8.85)

The run-rate is unlikely to be an issue at this point in game. It's the jitters that a wicket or two may result in pressure.

 

[Neoprod]

Shaping up to be a cracker this...Aus keeping Indian run rate in check but Raina and Kohli will try to break out soon.

 

[Neoprod]

...and Raina goes! Yuvraj to the crease.

 

[bokka1]

India have a bit of a problem now. As long as Kohli is there they have a chance.
