    We're talking about MLB baseball. You probably don't, unless Pablo Sandoval became Bo Jackson overnight and I somehow missed it. Let me know when their outfielders ditch the giant-ass gloves

  • Still all this nonsense about "Dhonis role" in the ODI side. It's called "winner."

Carey's gone berzerk! Blasted 17 runs off of Tahir in the 42nd over 😕

Far is obliterating his reputation as a clever captain. Don't bowl spin at the death, FFS!

Need Rabada to come in to take Carey’s wicket.  This Phelukwayo asshole is shit bowler 

Gets Cummins just as you say that, lol

Wooooooo

That should do it

Don't speak too soon...

Fucking hell, why won't you die Australia!!?!!

Just 25 needed from the last two overs.

Rabada gets Khawaja with the yorker!! 25 needed from 11 deliveries

There we go! Rabada clean bowls Starc, and that should do it.

18 needed from the final over, no wickets in hand.

According to people a lot smarter than me, the ball doesn’t swing at Old Trafford as evidenced by Starc’s high ER today.  That is good news for India against the likes of Blount and Ferguson. 

What an absolute fabulous day of cricket today was.  I am so f'ing happy I can sh!t rainbows.

India took care of business with absolute precision and the Proteas found their groove but made it interesting until the end.  What started out as an absolute crap tournament the first two weeks has wound up being quite exciting.

Australia vs. South Africa ended up as one of the best matches of the tournament.

By contrast, the India-SA match was a walk in the park!

 

Yep, the SA / AUS match was in my opinion #2 of the tournament so far.  Number one was the WI chase that came up just short against NZ with Brathwaite hitting 100 in about 27 overs and just missing a match winning 6 by a couple of feet in the last over.

What an amazing day of cricket. Fucking great way to kill a Saturday. Pissed the Aussies came up short,  but damn,  they brawled right to the end. 

England Australia will be a brawl of a semifinal. I am happy India can avoid another match at Edgbaston. Considering India and New Zealand were not able to play during round robin, it should be a good matchup.

Forecast calls for overcast conditions, light rain. Very good for NZ, Boult will be able to swing the ball and swing it good.

Normally this would be a batting track but with rain + overcast conditions you also have to factor in the possibility of a rain-shortened chase. Dark clouds and I think the side winning the coin toss has to put the opposition in to bat first.

Cloudy conditions should aid NZ swing, but during the IND / SL match I believe it was Ian Bishop that said Old Trafford does not swing nearly as much as the other grounds.  I'm not smart enough to understand that one, but he knows more about it that I ever will.

NZ batting lineup is complete shite.  They have Williamson and well... not really anyone else at this point in time.  I read a write-up earlier today that pointed out India's spinners have had a lot of success against Williamson so we have that going for us.  The NZ openers have been terrible and their middle order isn't much better than the India lineup that gets constantly mocked.

I don't think NZ will score more than 250 against India's bowling attack.

No Shami today?  WTF is Rat thinking (or not thinking)?  No way I would have dropped him for Bhuvi after Bhuvi's horrible performance Saturday.

NZ win the toss, choose to bat first.

Can't ask for a better start.  Two runs after four overs and Nicholls is out for a duck.  Guptill out for only one.  Good enough.

Man, the ball is really turning on this pitch. Santner and Sodhi are there for NZ, glad they didn't pick another spinner today.

Pressure chase no matter what the score. Gotta keep making it tough for the batsmen. Smart bowling changes.

Oh fuck, Chahal's getting blasted. This is a bad closing spell by India.

211/5 after 46.1 overs. and the covers are coming on. Fuuuuuuuuuck, India botched this so badly at the death.

D/L will work heavily in NZ's favour now.
