T20 match is certainly faced a major turn as INDIA is not able to enter into semifinals. This has happened because Australia have not played on par to their level against Pakisthan. I think they deliberately done this to stop INDIA from entering into semis. This is not good cricket as far the game spirit is concerned. India is a major cricket playing country with excellent players and really it needs to play the game till end.

I dont want to be a Hypocrite. Indian team did know they need to win by a margin of at least 31 runs before the toss was done. And they failed to deliver. See that? And stop blaming others' games when our own game is flawed. How do you explain the failure of the top order yesterday? How do you explain the poor performance despite the SA misfieldings yesterday? Were those all rigged too?
C'mon, be a sport Manasha, we all want our favorites to win at all times which is not always possible

So it seems you wont believe that they had a bad day at the ground yesterday
. I admire your concern for the Indian Cricket team dear
I will try to get to a tv set to see how these Aussies fare against the Indies - they seem the only ones who can contain them at the moment

It is totally wrong and against facts to say that Australia lost the match against Pakistan deliberately. We must not forget that Pakistan has defeated Australia currently in the T20 series held at UAE last month by 2-0.
There is no any match to the Pakistan Team, and It is proved today.
As far as India Team is concerned, they should try to find out the reasons behind their failure.

Hi pk333,
Indians defeated Pakistan in the super eights.So your statement is definitely wrong.Indians are superior when compared to Pakistan.You cannot say that there is no match to the Pakistan team.Did they prove it against India?That's why Aussies made the Pakistan to win that match and enter the semis.

When the Ws came out to bat for the OZ, I kept the scorecard open for me to see how they progress. I kept a close watch and thought it would be a walk in the park for the mighty Australians. But when Watson got out, followed by Warner and then one more wicket, I smelt something fishy. The way Australia batted never showed that they were playing to win the match. They were only hoping to get past the 112 run mark. That automatically made the passage into the semi finals easy, in fact, they made it to the next round.
I was at least hoping that the lower order bats well and at least keeps the margin of the number of runs less. The more runs Australia would have scored, it meant that Pakistan concedes more runs. So, that would have benefited India. The chances were bright as long as Michael Hussey was there. However, it was immensely lazy batting from a side that has still to win the T20 World Cup. If they have done it on purpose, they will never win the Cup, not at least this time around.

When it comes to such matches, especially where more than 3 or 4 teams are involved, one team depends on the success or failure of the other. I guess, the only team that didn't have to bother about the other team's fortunes was Australia. You win matches and secure your position at the top. What happens down the order, is not their job to care about. Here every team for themselves and will behave in the same way. If they get to choose teams as their opponents, they will certainly take advantage. I guess Australia has done the very same thing this time.
Though their means are cheap, as we think they are, there is nothing concrete to prove that they have done it on purpose. There is no way to decide if a batsman has played a false shot deliberately. So, this is kind of an open secret. It is the mind - speaking about the Aussies, that has to admit that they have played against the spirit (which, incidentally is not the first time for them). How can one prove that they have played against the sportsmanship?

Hi Manasha,
I think India failed to improve their net run rate against Pakistan.If they would have crushed the Pakistan within 14 or 15 overs then they would have been out of the tournament.Australians did the same during the CB series.If India had to enter final,Aussies need to defeat Srilanka in the last league game.But Aussies lost very poorly.Then they went on winning the Cup by crushing the Srilankans.Aussies are always afraid of Indian team because India play with seven batsmen whereas they play with just six batsmen.Aussies are really cheaters when they play with India.Remember the Sydney test,where all the Australians caught the ball with the ground and appealed.They were lead in front by the skipper Ricky Ponting.Aussies are really champions even in cheating.

I say that Australia is not solely to be blamed for India's ouster from the World Cup. As a matter of fact, had we won the matches when it mattered, then we wouldn't have to depend on any team to determine our fortunes - just the way Australia have wrote their own fortunes. However, when there are a number of teams, situations like these do arise. Australia played cheap, cheap cricket and proved to be the non-favorite champs, as they were previously known. I guess, ICC should come up with such rules too when a team deliberately plays poor cricket to oust a certain team. But the problem is 'poor' is a subjective term and it is not easy to make out if the team is playing fair cricket or not. But if we bring in the history of the team into account, then we can easily make out the intentions of a certain team.
@Dupremo
You are right. West Indies will hardly be able to sustain the Aussie attack. I think only Sri Lanka can manage to give them a fight. Even the Pakis won't be able to repeat the feat that they did a couple of days ago. Oh well, they didn't win the match, I forgot. It was Australia who lost it.

Pakistan has also defeated Australia in the last T20 Series held at Dubai last month and now they have again defeated Australia.
If Australia Team did not played with Spirit today, what happened to Team India that they just win by 1 run.
Even if Pakistan Team defeated Australia, India was still in the game but they have to limit South Africa till 121. But the Indian Team failed to limit S.Africans. And just won by 1 runs. I think you should find out the faults that kept India out of the semi-finals from T20 World Cup, also don't forget Asia Cup 2012.

Everyone knows that Australian did not play well so why you are saying this as PAK blowing well. If pakistan blowing is so good why they did not defeate India. Australian always do this they can do anything for victory. Pakistan is a good team but i think Australia fixed this match.

Well you can say that now because india is out of the tournment.you are blaming aussies,why not your own team,when they are great team as you are saying then why they cant beat southafrica comprehensively to qualify to semis as they had a chance to do so and know that they should have to win comprehensively....

I think any team that leaves it's fate in the hands of the Aussies and expects them to fair play is kidding itself. Australia was in a position to cherry pick who could qualify and they did that expertly by loosing by almost the exact number of runs as was required for them to qualify. They even played the last two dot balls!!
But for India to have left themselves to their mercy was India's own problem. Had they finished off their match against Pakistan at least one over earlier as was very much possible, Australia would have needed to lose by not more than 25 odd runs and India would have needed only a difference of 15 odd runs which could have been achieved.
Cheers!

Australia wanted a lighter opponent like West Indies in the semis. I only way to teach lesson to Aussies is that West Indies beat them in the semis, I hope Chris Gayle and co blast the mediocre bowling of Australia as they did in one match in the league phase. Common West Indies live up to your expectations. Finally all I can say is that India should not have left Sehwag against Australia and they should have set a target of 170 against SA.

India have to blame themselves only. If they could have produced a decent bowling performance against Australia they would have been in with a better chance. They could have lost with lesser margin the scenario could have been totally different.
Why to give a chance to any other that they can decide allow the team to go forward or not.
