India Vs. Australia WC 2015
- Thread starter Indian Patriot
- Start date
I think Pakistan have provided a blue print for India to bowl out Australia.
Bowl quick & close to the body from across the wicket to create a line going away from a right handed batsman that cramps him for room & Finch, Clarke, Watson, Maxwell & Haddin will struggle playing a hook shot or trying to cut a ball at 145 to 150 kph when there is no room.
That's possible if Shami & Yadav could show some extra agression & hunger.
If I remember correctly Dhoni had actually tried this method during the test series.
& yeah don't make the mistake of having a Shami or Yadav at 3rd man position If U r going to make a batsman pull or hook.
Pakistan are out of the world cup for making this stupid mistake.

India fans are likely to outnumber their Australian counterparts when the two teams clash in the World Cup semi-final in Sydney on Thursday -- much to the annoyance of the home captain.
Australia skipper Michael Clarke and team-mate David Warner sent out identical tweets, saying: "I call on all Australian cricket lovers to paint the SCG gold on Thursday. We need your support. #goldout"
The hashtag, referring to the Australian team colours, has ironically caught the fancy of more Indian twitter users than Australian.
Organisers believe that 70 percent of tickets at the sold-out 42,000-capacity Sydney Cricket Ground have been bought by by India fans, threatening to create an environment reminiscent of the frenzied atmosphere of Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
If the pitch suits spinners, as has been the case at the SCG in the past, co-hosts Australia may well feel as though they have been kicked out of their own party.
Kartik Ayyalasomayajula, one of the founders of the Swami Army -- India's version of England's Barmy Army supporters group -- forecast the Australian team would be in for a hard time from fans on Thursday.

"It will be very loud, very intimidating," Kartik told the Sydney-based Daily Telegraph newspaper. "It will feel like an away game for them.
"The drummers will be going around the ground and people will be dancing, singing and cheering every run India score, every wicket they take.
"People will be going nuts."
Kartik, a Melbourne-based IT professional, said the tweets by Clarke and Warner pleading for Australian support at the match indicated how much the home team were worried.
"I think those tweets definitely say they're going to be outnumbered," he said.
"I would have thought that would be a standard expectation for the Aussie fans without their heroes going on Twitter to plead with them.
"They're really scraping the barrel there. I think it's a message in itself.
"India versus Australia in a World Cup semi-final, it doesn't get much bigger than that."
Kartik said those Australians who turned up at the SCG on Thursday would get an idea of what cricket means in South Asia.
"This country won't have seen this level of support or atmosphere for cricket games," he said.
"You have to go to the sub-continent to get that kind of feel, so we are effectively bringing that atmosphere to Sydney. It's going to be a spectacle."
Kartik said fans were still looking for tickets that were unavailable for love or money as they looked to cheer on the defending champions.
"It's pretty much name your price kind of thing," he said."It's the hottest ticket in town at the moment."
India, who won the 2011 World Cup in South Asia, defeated Ricky Ponting's Australia in the quarter-finals in Ahmedabad.

Aussies would get the shock of their life when they would see SCG painted in blue rather than gold and noisy crowed creating an atmosphere like Eden Garden...
The Pitch is an issue... From first look wicket seems to be a batting paradise (white wicket).. Win the toss, bat first.. 10 overs bat sensibly and then take the Aussie attack apart..
But you never know.. Don't want a game having anticlimax like that of Srilanka SA QF..

I wont be surprised if we get a green pitch with bounce from curator ..That will tilt the equation drastically ..If the pitch stays as it is now then it will be a tight match ..Oh I want to take leave from work ..hope I get one or I will get a severe chest pain and hence a leave ..ha ha
