All 4 teams played better than others when needed we can say but Pak got lucky. They should thank SA for their eternal choke in ICC tournaments. Semi finals will be exciting. No one can predict who will win. We may find it tougher cos England bats really deep and our batting line up relies heavily on Kohli and SKY. I will persist with Pant. He got out today to a freak catch but that was a good hit and we need that Intent against England. Plus his keeping is A class and he is a big match player who can turn things around when you least expect them. Only if DK had done anything in last 4 matches it would be easy to recommend him. Ideally we should play Chahal against England who are quite weak against leg spin. But, he has no match practice. So, barring injury same bowling attack will play. Hardik is a big worry. He has completely forgotten his hitting abilities. We need a finisher and we need him to strike a few. On paper England are favorite so I am keeping expectations low but hopeful our experience may take us through.

Avatar on an IMAX screen could be a visual delight. I will wait for initial reviews to make up my mind.

Those 2 balls to get Neesham abd Santner out were really good. Little has been highly impressive all tournament. Shame ICC don't give these guys more matches with big teams.

So, we can expect it on Disney hotstar like most hbo shows.

Avatar is only for the visuals. The first one was same. I found it strictly OK and not re-watch able. I was in school when DDLJ released. My friends dad used to own the biggest theater in our city so we will bunk school and watch it whenever we can. Forgot the count how many times I saw it that time. Good times.

With how sh*t this team is in both batting and Bowling PP no way they can win against a good team in semis.

Nope. As per our genius Chetan Sharma there is no such issue with him. In fact they actually don't have a solid reason to keep him out other than preferring the guys they like.

Chutiya selectors are at it again. Why isn't Shaw selected with best avg and best SR is inexplicable. Why our best spinner before world cup Bishnoi is dropped with no poor performance is again something selectors can't explain. Why we keep going back to flop spinners like Chahal and Kuldeep and not try new guys. Why are Rohit and Rahul rested. If you want them to continue in Indian team then make them play all games. Hardik as Captain is maybe a sign we may move on from Rohit in t20. Sooner the better.

DK is out with back injury so Pant will definitely play. Looks like this good for nothing KL will get another game.

Why are people blaming Ashwin? He didn't made Kohli drop a sitter of Markram which could have changed the whole match. He didn't made batters bat like morons with no sense of responsibility (barring SKY) Did he miss those run outs which even schoolboys can do effectively. Rohit had 3 stumps in view and from 5 feet he misses with all the time in the world to hit. Did he select Hooda and waste a spot when a 4th genuine pacer could have been added on this Pace assisted pitch. SA left out Shamsi and didn't bowled Maharaj for his quota cos everyone knew this pitch has 0 assistance for spinners. So,is it really Ash's fault his Captain is bowling him in the end when batsman will hit out of the park. Our Captain keeps failing with the bat. His and Coach's selection are baffling. KL Rahul keeps getting selected when he has never done anything worthy in an important match against a good team. DK who has never done anything in any World cup still finds his way in team as finisher and behold, he fails again. Our whole batting is Kohli and SKY. One of them fails and we can't even make 150. If both fails we may get out under 100. Why is Vikram Rathour our batting coach who has done nothing of note in white ball cricket and under whom batsman keep on failing without any improvement. And then he goes on in media claiming KL is our best bet as an opener. Come on. Less said about fielding the better. Fielding coach should have been sacked months ago. They should learn something from Ireland how to field and defend an average score. Against Bangladesh. Drop KL, make Pant open who atleast have the Intent and in Australia he usually does great. Drop hooda and bring Akshar back. And make these guys do some intense fielding drills cos today was pathetic.

In danger for lowest total of tournament..

I so wanted to watch Kantara after the good reviews but sadly no shows running here.

Nothing makes my day as Pak losing..and that too against Zimbabwe and this will ensure their exit from world cup. No way they can better India or SA unless rain creates havoc which I don't see happening. What a match, what a win for Zimbabwe.?

If Captain and Coach have any brain they will drop KL next game and make Pant open. A 15 ball 25 from Pant will be good enough for a start. We made 32 in PP and that too against Netherlands. What will we do against better teams. Including Pant also solves our keeper problem as DK is quite bad. We can't expect Virat and SKY to save us every game.

T20 ICC rankings are sh*t. Malan, Williamson, Smith are same kind of players who shouldn't be there in the 11.

Harshal has been sh*t in last few games. Why will you change your most economical bowler off late and someone who has just hit the winning runs against Pakistan.

England ?? Ireland was fantastic and with better catching could have embarrassed England more..

1. Valid issue. With Rohit blowing hot and cold as well if opening fails whole middle order comes under tremendous pressure and Virat won't rescue us always. Even SKY hasn't done anything of note in crucial matches yet. With Pant we atleast have a surity of Intent which Rahul can never have against good bowling. 2. I believe max should have been 140 when we had openers out for so cheap. We let the game move away in the middle. 3. SKY should be aggressive but he needs to read the situation too. Yesterday he should have stayed with Kohli for longer. We were chasing with a known target and not setting a target. Was no need to play so many shots so early. 4. That can happen to anyone anytime. Even Shaheen was hit for 19 runs in an over. Axar has done great for us recently so let's give him more chances. 5. Boobie made a rookie mistake. You never throw without backup in death overs.

I do the same. If seats are available I always prefer buying in person.

So skipping black adam. Will see when it's on OTT

More funny was when they didn't chase the ball on free hit. They didn't even know that if it's a free hit ball is in play cos batsman can't get out. Similar like getting caught on free hit and you can run as many as you can.. ?

This.. That shot is nearly impossible to time for a long six.. Add the pressure and their fastest in form baller a this easily becomea one of the best sixes I have ever seen... I have received quite some flake here for supporting Kohli.. But, I have always maintained he is the best batsman for India since Sachin retired. Without a doubt and probably will surpass Sachin when he retires. The tear in Kohli eyes showed what this win meant for him. For me we already won the World cup with this match. If we actually win the final that will be cherry on the top.

Kohli has been brilliant once again against world class bowling..

Dravid needs to be sacked. This is a shitshow since long and his coaching is terrible.

Was going to watch in IMAX. Seems local PVR will do.
