What a run out again.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2015
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Thank you and good night. Hopefully it's not the last we've seen of Dhoni in ODIs as we don't have anything near as good as a replacement
#Okayletsgiveitback
Haha, damn. Dhoni was like, feck it, if it hits, it hits.
So, Oz vs NZ final it is 
The tournament as a whole has been really underwhelming, but at least the semis have had their interesting moments.

It has been over since the last 10 overs. You are never going to chase down a target at 12 RRR for more than 10 overs.However long Dhoni batted for, we'll never get that part of our lives back.
Exactly, toss is crucial.Hope NZ wins it.
Indian team didnt want the hindutva nationalism to run rampant. For the greater good
Stupid sky. Missed the wicket.
Thanks Sky.
Didn't want to watch that wicket anyway, was much happier seeing the adverts/

This is a spanking. So easy for the Aussies.
rofl, that was funny. See, no stupid bowling, no stupid short balls. Just bowl it at the wickets and they will miss.
NZ vs Au will be a good final.

A run chase which promised so much has become a massive fizzer/anticlimax.
Come on New Zealand!
Aussies!!!
Well done Aussies.
Well played Australia. Brilliant and deserved to go to the final.
India did well to get to the semi final here, but a step too far. Shame their batting let them down.
Come on new Zealand :P

Terrific performance from Australia. Very comfortable in the end.
The final I wanted to see, in my opinion the two best sides in the tournament. I think it will be difficult for New Zealand to win, but I hope they do it.

Brilliant captain's innings. Deja vu from the semi final at Mohali in 2011.
Yeap. Very poor effort by the batting lineup.
I expect Australia to win on Sunday, but pressure does funny things to people. New Zealand won't have the same pressure.
Need to play well on sunday.
7 on 7 performance by Australia in semi final! Great record. Deserve to be in final. A cracker in store. Fancy Australia for no. 5.

Still a very good tournament for us given the circumstances. Especially the bowlers. The batsmen need to introspect as they've been pretty mediocre given their reputations.
The Aus fans in here think Clarke should be dropped? Or the less changes going into the final, the better?
He'll be there. Bailey who would be next in line hasn't played in 6 weeks, and you wouldn't make Smith ODI captain for only the second time in his career in a World Cup Final.
NZ need to bundle Australia out again if they need a chance.
Rohit's wicket was pretty much the end of the game today. He was at the precise stage where he goes for lift-off and he had the class to face and attack any of their bowlers. We all know what he does once he's settled.

They did fine as a unit. Made 300+ each time batting first and chased whatever was asked of them. Unfair to expect much today when being asked to chase 330 in a semi final.
Clarke still needs to play, Not worth changing captaincy before the world cup final.
Disappointed with Kohli in this tournament, thought he'd be up there with the likes of AdV and Sanga in terms of impact but he's been very mediocre, IMO.
Yeah, both him and Dhawan couldn't have chosen to get out at worst times.
Well what I meant was, even prior to today, none of the batting performances were convincing in a manner befitting their reputations. Add to that, none of them had consistent performances either. I do agree that they did their jobs and sure, chasing 330 tonight was extremely difficult. Bottom line is that the bowlers were punching above their weights, the batsmen were punching just below. This isn't whining by the way, as I'm very satisfied with how things went on the whole. Australia were the better team, just wish we faced them in the final instead
Very confident AUS will win on Sunday. Kiwis played their final on Tuesday.
MCG will have less swing and the bigger boundaries do play into our hands.
Pretty much.
Deserved win for the Aussies. The best two teams in the tournament will make for a cracking final. Hope NZ wins it now. As for India, have done well to come this far after a very average summer. The bowling was always concerning and until today did quite well. Disappointed with Kohli in this tournament, but that's more because of the expectation that he brings and will continue to bring in the future. Good on Dhoni. Wonderful career as a ODI captain and hope I get to see him play again. And Steve Smith is a special player.
Agree with this. Kohli was kinda crap all tournament, as was Rohit, and Rahane, although Rahane has been up and down the order. Dhawan and Raina were the best of the lot, and neither felt consistent. I don't think our batting line up was tested, till today, which is why we failed.
