zen Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 The 2nd SF will take place at Edgbaston on July 11. The weather forecast predicts rain including on preceding and following days. Could be interruptions or a shortened game. While Kangaroos have some injury concerns and lost some momentum in its last game vs. the Springboks, Bulldogs are getting back into the groove. In the group game, the Kangaroos prevailed but Bulldogs have fought back since to beat teams they haven't beaten in WCs in a long time. vs

srh08 Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) Batting (England the clear winner but Australias's 7th batsman evens things out a bit) Finch = Roy ? Warner = Bairstow Smith = Root Handcomb < Morgan Maxwell < Stokes Marsh/Stoinis < Butler Carey > Rashid Bowling (Australia has the edge) Cummins > Woakes Starc = Archer Behrendorf > Wood Lyon > Rashid Marsh/Stoinis+Maxwell = Stokes I would say who ever bats first, wins. But, generally the team with the better bowling always has a better chance. Edited July 7, 2019 by srh08
Gollum Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 England should win. Aussies having many injury concerns and that RSA loss should have its effect. Edgbaston is an England fortress and in a shortened game it is advantage Poms. Nikola 1
Nikola Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 England on flat deck is gonna be hard to stop for any attack. I feel 75% eng and 25% aus but it can change according to who wins and bats first.

I am not sure if RSA loss will matter since it was a dead rubber. loss of khawaja may be a blessing in disguise if handy plays well. but I also feel that eng are favs to win it.
Gollum Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Eng have won their last 10 completed ODIs at Edgbaston. Meanwhile... ICC World Cup 2019: A worrying statistic that will haunt Australia ahead of Edgbaston semifinal vs England Quote Australia have a frightening record at Edgbaston, having failed to win a single match across formats since 2001. Their last win at the venue came in a Test match when the visiting Australian side had defeated England in 2001 Ashes, 18 years ago. Since then, Australia have played 14 international games at the venue, failing to win even one. Although, out of these 14 matches, six were affected by rain. In ODIs, Australia have a 4-6 win-loss record in 15 matches at the venue since their first game in 1972. Their last win at the venue in ODIs came in 1993 when they defeated England by six wickets. Since then, Australia have played eight matches, losing three - all against England - while four were affected by rain and one ending in a draw. Australia's most recent match at Edgbaston was in 2017 Champions Trophy where they suffered a 40-run loss against the home team @SK_IH's prophecy will come true. Lord's is an Aussie fortress but they won't make it that far. India all the way !!! velu and SK_IH 2

SK_IH Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Toss is vital, team batting first will be at advantage but Eng looking a far better balanced side.
IndianRenegade Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 Meanwhile, khawaja out & stoinis is doubtful. Matthew Wade & Mitchell Marsh May replace them. https://es.pn/32hvQ0L
ThePhenomenal1 Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) Aussies not in their full flow, they should never be underestimated but this england side + record at edgbaston means england should win, depends on if they choke or not. So glad india dodged playing england at the 2nd semi final, even though i have tickets. Thank you SA! Rather india face nz even if it means i miss out on seeing them at a semi. Got to see india vs bangladesh live so im cool with it lol Edited July 8, 2019 by ThePhenomenal1 IndianRenegade 1

Adi BB Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 Who ever wins the toss will win this ,but feeling says England but if Australia win the toss and post even 280+ ,they'll be the heavy favourites
Stuge Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) Underrating Aussies in WC semis is totally ( All the experts on SM are doing the same )dumb . Australia is the only team in this WC ,who has never say die spirit.Plus, Australia has a habit of raising their game by few notches come semi finals. Edited July 8, 2019 by Stuge
