There is also a small matter of Maxwell waiting for us.

I dont understand how this lbw checking thingy works?
Think it's ridiculous you lose a review when it's umpires call.
Especially this one. feck
That's a review wasted but had it paid off, Dhoni would've been lauded. I like the fact that he trusts his teammates.
If there is an umpires call benifit of the dobut goes towards the original decision
Looked out to me
Doesn't look to good for India right now. Aus look set for a big score.
Impact wasn't fully (50 % +) in line with the stumps. Stays with the umpire's call. If he had given it out originally it would've stayed out.
They're running through the overs very fast these two. Feels like a couple minutes ago it was over 15.
Cool, thanks for that. Understand it better now.
This is a really good game. I think its going to be really close. India can really bat well so there is nothing in it
Why is Dhoni leaving the part timers till late? They will get smashed.
Why use part timers? He only needs two more overs from Sir Jadeja.
We have 5 regular bowlers.
Raina perhaps being saved for Maxwell? That could well be like prepping the lamb for the slaughter
Smith and Finch have set a brilliant platform to accelerate from. With Clarke, Watson, Maxwell still to bat, we are looking at a target of 350+. India are not chasing 350+ against Australia.
Need to get couple of quick wickets.
Need to get couple of quick wickets.
Certainly not at SCG.
Maxwell will be key here. He is someone who can take Oz from 300-330 to 350-400.
SRL did very well in their chase of 350+ on same pitch but yeah in a semi, it is a very big ask.
Why not? This is the only place i back us to chase it against an Aussie attack
FFS I completely forgot about Mohit
No idea how the wicket is playing with now, but Ashwin-Jadeja have 7 overs left between themselves. Not sure if that is enough to take a couple of wickets against these batsmen.
Finch needs to cut the crap now. Wasting too many deliveries.
Has the look of 340 this.
300 would be doable, but anything over 350 is too much, even for India.
Bit of reverse swing. Get Shami on.
I've got Finch as my fantasy captain but this is getting unbearable. Someone put him out of his misery.
Powerplay on, now it'll be interesting.
Just seen the score. Game over already.
The only chance we had was to win the toss.

And so it begins. 
This is going to get ugly in death overs.
Beautiful innings from Smith
Brilliant batting by Smith.
We are throwing short balls after short balls on a pitch which isn't even bouncy.
Steve Smith is so good. We are fecked.
game over.
It is just too good for batting. Dhoni missed a trick not using Raina in the middle overs.. have a feeling our pace bowlers would get taken to the cleaners now.We are throwing short balls after short balls on a pitch which isn't even bouncy.
In comes Maxwell..
