how much heart does Lee have? the guy brings an unbelievable amount of intensity and fairness to the field.
 
Commentator (moody i think?): "Gambir tried to get run out, then he tried to get himself runout again and eventually it worked the 3rd time" :P
 
India throwing this away.

If Raina gets out cheaply, run rate will start to become an issue.

I thought about this dillema and here's what I've come up with hashmist!

We can't open with a spinner against India; that's SUICIDE! The only spinner capable is Ajmal, and I'd still rather not. I'd risk opening with Gul & Razzak (Yes, i said razzak). He's one of those Sachin-killer bowlers and Watson/Haddin aren't exactly getting OZ off to fliers either! Sachin/Sehwag will get India off to a flier anyway I feel and we can expect something like 50/0 (6-7 overs) anyway, so no point in ruining non-powerplay overs from better bowlers in that time frame. Next , for first change I'd bring in Akhtar/Riaz whoever is playing. THe point is to strike the openers out, because runs will flow anyway!

Still though, Gul. Afridi. Ajmal! Have faith man!

I am not sure about opening with Razla, bc Sehwag will for sure take the game away from us. He is capable of scoring 100 from 8 overs if Razzla is not clicking and releasing all the pressure built by Gul. I say open with Akhtar and Gul and try to get both Tendu and Veru out. That is our only hope. Trying to contain Sehwag is pointless.
 
Aussies almost defended 170~ against us, 260 is really a nice big buffer for them! Yuvi is key!
 
get raina or Yuvraj out and this match will turn interesting.
 
Lol Lee scared the daylights out of Dhoni when he ran towards him . Guess he thought Lee would run him over :))
 
bowl is gona reverse soon .. in fact it has already started to a bit!


a new batsman .. a lethal bowler on!

run a ball needed... 5 wickets remaining ..
batting line is expected to collapse again ...

in short .. india ki lagi hui hai :P
 
Raina is totally batting out of position; he's best higher up the order in powerplay... right now it will be difficult for Raina to get the bowl away I feel. He won't be able to work the pacers for singles so early on in his innings. Yuvraj will have to cover for him
 
It would be bad if India win the game from here. They will be pumped-up for semi-final.

Imagine if Harbhajan makes a match-winning quick-fire Pepsi 20 or 30
 
Tait is back! My wish is granted! He needs to get as many overs out of Tait as he can because after India takes the batting PP there's no room for Tait... and it will have to be all Lee/Johnson/Watson
 
if dhoni has crumbled here in pressure ....

then mohali mein uska kia hoga kaaliya :))
 
india need couple of bad overs from australia, and they are back in game,
 
In fact, I'm not sure about Watson either... he could probably give David hussey a few overs instead
 
Tait is Lee without the heart and head :facepalm: Australia is looking dangerousssssss so i would like Pakistan to face them now
