Australia only have themselves to blame. To have 10 wickets in hand with 16 overs to go and only score 107 runs simply isn't good enough at this level.
Incredible, what a performance, to win with 5 to spare from needing 49 off 25. Sky commentators still think that last ball was a six haha, bounced well within the boundary!
Another brilliant finish in another quality match, looking forward to England/NZ and WI/India.
The tournament is better for India in it. Got a good feeling that England are being written off a bit, but they definitely have the players to win this and knowing the pitch is definitely going to be a big advantage for the semi.
We've already beaten NZ in a warm-up, so , why should we be written-off ? Think we've got the better team on paper than NZ - NZ have had pitches so far where they have been able to strangle teams with their spiiners, so , judging upon how Rashid and Ali were taken part the other day, i dont think that spinners will have such an impact.

Santner & Sodhi (and others) slightly different gravy to Ali & Rashid in this format though I'd say, but yeah we shouldn't be written off. It will still be a match, it only takes one masterclass batting innings from someone, and we currently have the best batsman in the match in that of Root. Guptill and others close in on him of course.

The final is at the same time on Sunday.
Smith caught behind - he didnt nick it - so much for India and DRS - wnkrs
Still wicket might be slowing up and none of Sharma, Yuvraj, Dhawan or Raina are averaging more than 11 in the tournament.
Merry Christmas!
