I'd imagine that, if they lose, there'll be a discussion between Head and Smith about Head's lack of input. In his defence, it must be tricky to judge what is outside the line from his position, in line with Smith's leg stump.

Smith does get in weird positions though, so maybe Head wasn’t concentrating enough or wasn’t sure where the off stump was.

Either way, it’s great to see him fail and not be out too.

It’s the convicts game to lose here. One good partnership is all they need

This partnership must be a dagger in Indian hearts. They had the Aussies wobbling at 47-3, but it's nearly 50 runs on since then.

Aussies even money.

Aussies even money.

They have the momentum. Just smoothly pick-off the singles over by over and they've got it.

 

[jimharri]

Aussies even money.

If these two put on another 30-40 runs, you can't see the Aussies losing it from that position. Run rate shouldn't be an issue. Less than 5 rpo is nothing to teams of this calibre.

Never forget the old Add two wickets to the score and see how that would look.

They’re not even half way there yet.

You are Geoffrey Boycott (think it was him!), and I claim my prize.

The one match I decided to watch in this whole tournament and India struggle. Typical.

If it was, it was one of his better musings.

He generally waffled on about sticks of rhubarb.

You could have saved us from having them in the final had you watched them earlier.

We could have a team to support in the final!

Bottling it when it really counts, you have to admit the Aussies are tough cookies.

 

[crooky]

Need a wicket or two sharpish. Looking a bit too straightforward at the moment.

It was him, apparently.....

I've enough memories of losing to Aussies in the finals. Thought it would be different today. We need a miracle now.

 

[ancoats]

The Aussies are always the party poopers and when being up against it they find something.
India shit the bed and could not handle the pressure of the home crowd demanding a victory,

the Aussies used the us against the world tactics and with nothing to lose, Nobody had them getting to the final never mind winning it.

 

[jimharri]

That crowd (even the attractive ones, and there's quite a few of them!) has gone significantly quieter than they were an hour ago. This partnership must be agony for them.

It’s never over until it’s over.
