Up the Guts

Apparently there are reserve days for the semis. Worst thing would be to have a rain affected match where DLS comes into play.
Best-case scenario for NZ is early rain reducing India's innings: apparently the DLS target is currently 148 off 20. Next-best is we get 240 then Boult & Ferguson take the top off the Indian batting (that said, they've picked Jadeja so bat down to eight).
I'm no mathematician, but 148 off 20 seems a bit off considering the Kiwis are currently 211 off 45 (a runrate of about 4.5).
But I expect they will get enough play tomorrow to finish the game off despite the forecast.
.
Regardless of however many overs we have, surely it's time to front-load the bowling and immediately bowl out Lovely Trenty, Ferguson and Henry in search of as many wickets as possible? Ideally with full-on test fields.
At least it'd end quickly one way or another.

You mean like we shoulda done when we had Straya 92/5?
Sounds like Australia's team will probably be:
Finch
Warner
Smith
Handscomb
Maxwell
Stoinis
Carey
Cummins
Starc
Lyon
Behrendorff
The other option is to drop Maxwell and replace him with Wade.
how has Stoinis been going? I think Maxwell's bowling has been pretty good. I almost go him ahead of Stoinis just for that. Has looked better with the bat too.
