England have bowled very well and taken full advantage of the opening 8-10 overs. Three quick wickets in a semi final were always going to the out the batting side on back foot. However Australia being Australia wont throw it away, they will take it to the end. In my opinion if they can get to around 240-250 they have likely to defend it. Predicting a similar kind of start for England as well!What a boring match. What's happening with Aussies?
Well they are picking up the pace, the RR has already climbed to almost 4 and the pitch is dead. It won't be a walkover for England but I think 220-250 is quite chaseable for English batsmen.
Lets see! England batting is good but two factors may play against them. One, letting Aus close to 250 after having them 3 down very cheaply. That will play a psychological advantage in Aus favor. Secondly, the Australian pace attack!! They wont be easy to bully around and i think they too will get a couple of quick wickets. Then it will be a game of nerves in chasing and Aus are much much more experienced at that game!
Because your's is only the second post from an Indian member. Yesterday India was playing and we had dozens of Indians posting! Use some logic, stop seeing a conspiracy behind everything.
