It's game on.
Aussies batting first at 1/87 after 15.

O well if you don't get apasting today you will on Sunday. just got the old girl warming up her voice .

Looking like a nice day to be in the box drinking a few cold ones - a few of the boys are there loving life. Pricks. Oh well it's just a warm up game

Beats getting crabs

Depends how and who you caught them off Scotty..

Bit of flea soap sorts that **** out quick smart

back on subject chaps - what the hell is going on? I thought you were destined for 350 plus. Smith gets his century then bats like a goose. No composure with 20 overs left. Finch decides finally to hit out and Maxwell comes out swinging from ball one. Who does he think he is Brendon McCullum? Then Clarke gifts one.

1.5 ! You need to make the most of those opportunities when they arise

It's a contest now.
I thought we were heading for 350+.
Bring on our pace attack.

Looks like Cobras man has saved the day. Loads of pace in the wicket by the look of it Scotty. Total a lot less than it should have been with ye start though. Probably too much now for the Indians. Some slow bowlers might make the difference.

Good luck in the field boys - off to a meeting so will miss the run chase. Maybe see you Sunday - maybe not

Finally in front of a TV.
And more importantly beer in hand
Sydney and back for work today.

Looks like a game on our hands....

C'mon Aussie c'mon c'mon

Couple of Chardys with the Mrs atm.
Feeling better at 3 for

Ted mate you got coinage on a Flightless bird versus Git anuther snagga on the barby maaaate's ..... cheer for us buddah

Yeah Scotty we needed them..

India have some quality batsmen and are good chasing.

330ish is a good score IMO.

Pitch is A few weeks older then when we played Sri Lanka and had a few games on it.

Hopefully it's enough..

4 for now SP and that'll do me.
@ Indo Teddy, you can cash in your $1.65 now.

Love the irony.

the Drs that India won't use in normal matches has come back to bite them

Now Dhoni needs to go

1.65 looking good! Final not so good Shot from the boys enjoying themselves

Why is Donhi not cutting loose ?

Poor catching Australia

Pathetic. At least go down swinging.

And the crowd points to the exit and is singing..


They only sell curry at the airport...

Crashed on the lounge for the last 5 wickets.
Fark I'm getting old.
Next I'll be having arvo naps.
At what age does that kick in ?

You were right on the money here, Ted. I was shouting at the TV - "Have a go, ya mugs!" Surely there is a point in the mathematical equation (wickets in hand, runs to chase, overs remaining) when it's agreed by those who make the team decision that it's time to have a crack. E.g... "If it gets to X runs per over, start to swing from the rafters."
You won't see the Kiwis or the Aussies capitulate. Malcolm Knox sums it up in another fine piece:
www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/cricket-world-cup-2015-a-triumph-to-be-savoured-20150326-1m8qo7.html

"New Zealand and Australia will meet in Melbourne because they have been the best teams." ... "And that tells the story of why Australia are in the final. They bat deep, they bowl deep, they are well led and they have no weak links in the field. New Zealand are in the final for the same reason, strength in depth. Cricket is an individual game played in a team context. Over the course of a long tournament, the individual has mattered less and less, the team more and more."
