Prospects of play in the 2nd SF are bleak.
No reserve day unlike the first one.
Favours India who would progress.

They have allowed a extra 250 minutes for each SF , not sure it helps though in the India v England game

5/96 Farooqi with a couple of ducks lol. Going brilliantly this set.

I am 5/108, so it looks like it is down to the wire for us two this round!

Oh I forgot to set a team, that's great. Don't think I'd have had Jansen or Rabada though!

That is annoying. The one downfall to this comp is the lockout if we miss the start. We all could have played Set 1 if we could have started late with a team of players who hadn’t played yet. Given there are no emergencies or VC’s to loop there would be no advantage if you could pick your team entirely from players playing in the second semi final.

It has started to rain and the covers are back in place. The forecast was for some showers during mid-day, but we could have a delayed toss. It's just a thin drizzle and the teams continue with their warm-up

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah

[Miller is a Steele]

514 in set 9.

Both pitches seemed to favour the bowlers, especially the AFG/RSA game. So I loaded up on 6 bowlers. Captaincy on Rashid unfortunately but had 4 other bowlers go 72+ and Rohit score 77.

Haven’t finalised my team for set 10 yet. Want to wait for the toss.

 

[Professor]

This is how I'm positioned, with my strongest Indian representation. 😉

I just don't know whether the pitch will favour spin or pace. Anyway no more changes unless someone is dropped. Good luck all.

Telling me I don't have a saved team and won't let me save a new one 😢

Can't even see our League

Hopefully it fixes itself
