All about the $$ sadly.
Worried about the kiwi quicks on Aussie pitches. Much bouncier and they won't get anywhere near as much swing. NZ is super balanced though and has the best spinner left in the tourney.
Aus v india could come down to toss. Both will want to bat first and it will be an advantage IMO.

Impressive performance from AUS so far, let's hope Cricketer12 is right and India keeps their calm so we get another exciting match again. 
[edit] ouch... 4 out in the last ~50 runs now, India did stay patient and calm, AUS under pressure now.

Hmm we're on track for about 340 if things go well here. Not sure that will be enough as silly as it sounds. I'd say par is about 330 on this pitch so India is well in it.

Another magnificent knock from Captain Courageous, best player in the history of the game.

328 is a good defendable score, though you feel the Indian bowlers really should have been much more disciplined in the final few overs

ugh that haddin drop is gonna cost us

So what's India's tactic right now ? Do they try to Bat it safe, perhaps wait for a weakness in bowling and then and go all out in the 2nd PP or the last 10 overs ? Won't they run out of overs at that pace first ?
They play so much different than the kiwis yesterday trying to get those 300+ runs...

Hmm they have time to get their eye in and then attack. If Australia could have got to 350 it would have put a lot more pressure on India to take more risks.
It's 50/50 right now. If India can keep things ticking along without losing wickets and need 90ish off last 10 then they'd be good.
Aus just needs wickets.

Aus just needs wickets. Yeah India just needs to stay in and consolidate right now, though if Hazlewood and Johnson continue like this, the Indian batsmen will need to take more risks. Big wicket just as I type this, Kohli's rubbish WC continues

Who is this Hazlewood guy btw? I thought he literally was only in the team in group stage because of an injury? Then he like carried Australia so hard in the one match. His average is phenomenally good for an ODI bowler this world cup.

One of Australia's many young fast bowlers, he displaced Siddle in the test team already. He was always in squad but Aus rotate him and Cummins from match to match because neither of them have much experience (also Cummins is currently injured)

Ahhh i see. Pretty much the best bowler on show in terms of figures the last few matches for Aus.
Oh look another wicket, collapse ahoy!

Good bowling here but the passivity from India is weird.

Now that they're in the last 15 I'd expect things to become a lot more explosive. But they dont have many wickets in hand so they're probably going to come up short.
