ICC CRICKET WORLD CUP 24

Rohit is fine

[thegreenhell]

India giving the Aussies a hard time. The only downside is this is probably our semifinal opponent.

[Scabutz]

If India win this, and that seems likely, and AFG beat BAN tomorrow then its bye bye Aussies.

[Gargamel]

Aussies have been smashed here. Rohit is crazy good.

I can't work out if the extra timber he carries actually aids his game or hinders him from being even more special?!

Wouldn’t that be great. We will see. Any semi is going to be tough. We have done it before though.

Getting beaten by India in a semi final isn't a bad way to go out really. Sure reaching or winning the final would be great but the IND team are incredibly strong.

Plenty of examples of Beefy batters around. Starting with er.. Beefy. Mike Fatting (late model) Inzaman, Ranatunga and probably a load who were merely a little chunky.

I think we are at the stage where anyone can beat anyone in a one off game. Aus could still win this one. Sure India are strong but no one is unbeatable. If we go out in the semis then it’s no disgrace, but you never know

Colin one eyed Milburn springs to mind.

Mike Fatting

Freudian slip?

[type-r]

Warner threw away his wicket against Scotland. He looked like he couldn't be bothered and quite possibly did it on purpose. He followed it up with another early dismissal last game. And then now.

[PhilkSVR]

I reckon that’s it for him. International retirement beckons. Not done too badly in his career though.

Rob Key could hardly have been described as svelte.

Warner has always been tainted for me ever since that Joe Root incident at an Aussie bar.

TBF, he has had a good career and has become teetotal a while ago. He also does quite amusing songs, singing in Hindi showing a different side.

Marsh and Head seem to have found their mojo.

[thegreenhell]

Aussies giving this a good go. Even if they scrape a win they'll still be vulnerable to an Afghan win passing them on NRR, though.

I’m interested to see how India perform under pressure. The Aussies will certainly try.

[type-r]

fk me. What. A. Catch!

[PhilkSVR]

Wow. What a catch.
