Which team would India prefer to play in semis?

Hardly matters. 

I liked what kevin pietersen said post match. He said don't worry about who comes at 4. Good team find a way to win. We are a great team. Look at how pampered our fans are by us winning consistently. One loss and their world came crashing down, started kicking and screaming like a toddler. 

 

Our opponent will be Eng and they will make way for us.

England - you win against them u win the cup  as nz and Aussie are slightly inferior 

when u run a marathon mile 20 is toughest .. once u cross and see final 5 miles I are ok . Semis are mile 20

Don't really care, we avoided Aussies and that is good enough for me. 

yes, we at least maximized our chances of passing beyond SF

My Team:

 

Rahul

Rohit

Kohli

Pant

HaPa

Dhoni

Jaddu

Bhuvi

Kuldeep

Chahal

Bhumrah

 

Need a sixth bowler as can't trust Chahal. Can't go for run leaking Shami. Only option available is Jaddu as KeJo ODI career is over...

New Zealand are definitely an easier proposition than England,  but either of them over Australia anyway. Unless SA pull off an upset, it looks like it will be England vs India. Hope KW does something special vs Aus and knocks them out. We've beaten Aus once this tournament and have been the only team to do so...we've paid our dues..don''t want to face them again. Starc will eat Rahul alive.

It will be Eng vs Ind and with a bit of luck, we can defeat them. Roy and Bairstow are in tremendous form and their edges don’t carry..:mad:

Get them in 10 overs and you will see the result.

Looking like an India v Eng semi final.


Unless Aus lose to SA and Inda wins against SL and goes top then it will be Ind NZ semi final. But on current form i dont think Aus will lose.

1. Aus

2. India

3. England

4. New Zealand

NZ or England, doesnt matter, i want India to test Agarwal as an opener against SL, he could be a wild card for us, slot Rahul at 4 again and go on an all out attack, if its England play Bhuvi ahead of Kuldeep, if NZ then both wristies.

what about Pant? Dhongi is not going to get dropped. Unless you want to drop DK to accomodate Mayank?

 

Rohit

Mayank

Kohli

Rahul

Pant

Dhoni

Pandya

Jadeja 

Kuldeep

Bhuvi

Shami


Would be my ideal line up for SL

Honestly its weird. People saying Australia got easy passage to finals since they might face NZ, things don't work like that.

 

We did not beat England, but Sri Lanka ended up beating England and Sri Lanka isn't even in the playoffs. On their day anyone can beat anyone.

 

I think both the semi finals will be really tight and NZ has a chance to beat Australia and knock them out. Similarly, even though we lost once already to England, we have a good chance to beat England. It's not like facing New Zealand would have been easy for us. Their lefty Trent Boult could have tested us early and might have gotten Rohit or Rahul earlier to put us back. These little scenarios matter sometimes.

 

Don't go by how NZ performed today. Don't be surprised if India vs New Zealand its the final. It's all open. Any four teams can qualify for the finals.
