I’d back them to pull it off. They’ve got a pretty strong lineup with the in-form Carey coming in all the way back at 7. Plus the Saffers haven’t had a great time bowling in this WC except Tahir.

Has Rohit just broken Tendulkars record?
Not yet.
Around 35 runs away.
First ever to this milestone. An utter beast.
Also, KL, whilst slow, has had a great first World Cup.
Rohit is something else when in this form
5 hundred within a month. Crazy.
Rohit gone immediately after a hundred. Again.
Edit: He now needs 26 runs to overcome Tendulkar.

Rohit in a nutshell. Makes it look so easy, never troubled then just plays a lazy shot and gives it away
Do they just lose concentration after getting 100? Seems like that always happens
Tough chase for Aus. India can still get #1.
Should have sent in DK or Pant. Both of them are in need of some confidence before the semis, especially DK, if India are planning on playing him. Kohli coming in and blasting 30-40 with a SR above 100 won't improve the team
I believe the reason Rahul bats cautiously is because of the fragile lower middle order India has, maybe its a tactic with the team management asking one opener to stay put while the other bat's with a bit more freedom. That would also explain why he has played with more freedom today as India bat very deep today.
Feel bad for Indian fans who paid £400+ for Edgbaston semi final tickets....

This is going to cock up everything. Boss had given a few of us + the Indian contractors a half day for Eng/Ind Semi Final.
Not for India’s chances of winning a World Cup, they’d be delighted to play NZ instead of England
India made this look easy
But then again Sri Lanka average like 3 wickets per game so yeah

I hope they are not complacent and bottle it.
Tahir 
Glad Tahir is retiring, seen enough of his cnutish celebration.
Pant out on review. BBW (balls before wicket).
I can’t see the likes of Kohli and Dhoni allowing complacency to creep in. They can be beaten by NZ though, as we all know anything can happen
Why do fans boo smith but not warner?
They probably forget to because he's not exactly walking out to the middle alone
Khawaja injured and gone. Starc struggling with niggles and clearly in pain every time he runs in. Openers look out of form again.
England-India final pretty much nailed on.

SA have regressed from their standards of yesteryear on many fronts, but the fielding aspect is the most damning of them all. That's 2 possible run outs missed by now.
Surprised they didn’t review that LBW honestly
Looks like we're playing Aus
Aus are done.. India - NZ it is.
India should be through to the finals.. NZ have gone off the boil

Will come down to the toss by the looks of it.
It has all too often in this world cup.
There was some agreement earlier on that Smith deserves to be in the tournament XI. Based on what exactly? One good knock vs WI, other than that he has been average. Could name a dozen more deserving batsman than him.
Don't think there's been any other good number 4s tbh

SA are bowling very well.
This. It was probably instinctive in the beginning but now he just tries to run as far as his legs can carry him.
What a run out from QdK. Dhoni-esque flick on to the stumps.
