CWC Semi Final - Black Caps v India

[Cyclops]

So one thing I'm unclear on is what happens once our innings finishes. Do they have a full lunch break, or is there a shortened change of innings? Seems weird to start for 15 minutes or whatever it takes and then bugger off for half an hour.

Probably not unlike the second day of a test if a team is 9 down. I imagine any break will be minimal

Nicholls being interviewed....interesting to hear only 2 totals of 250+ have been chased down in the tournament.

I'd say in the interests of wanting to get India over the 20 over mark so it's seen as a fair game, they would be against a long innings break.

Both - a short innings break, then lunch at the normal time.

Your cricket knowledge in the last month or so has been nothing short of staggering

Hopefully these guys can hit a few into the MAX zone.

[No Quarter]

We're running well between the wickets but we really need a boundary or three.

Yeah nice one NQ...

[No Quarter]

That's some bullshit

[Squirrel]

As far as Taylor run outs go, that's one of the better ones

[Bones]

@booboo go to bed.

[Donsteppa]

O for Awesome.

[Mokey]

Fark the Craps are tough to support sometimes. Two shit dismissals in two balls.

[Mokey]

@Bones Or at least threaten to so we can get some fours.

[No Quarter]

Thata boy Santner Clause.

Not too bothered about wickets at this stage! 7 is a bloody good craps over when there's 2 wickets.

[Bones]

Batting looks pretty easy on this pitch...

We will have to play out of skins to be any chance.

[No Quarter]

India need 240 to win.

I'd call that even this morning. We didn't get away but we also didn't collapse in a heap.

India overall strong favourites, but an early wicket or two will change things very quickly.
