    Time for Dhoni to be sacked as Indian captain......they needed to defend 121 today and who does he bowl....Rohit Sharma ahead of his premier spinner Ashwin:mad::mad:

    Hopefully the likes of Gambhir and Sehwag never play a T20 international for India again

    Both India and SA have been hopeless all tournament and have been rightfully sent packing

    So it will be Aus v WI and Pakistan v SL.....The best four teams are in the semi finals IMHO

    I disagree. Were just class apart against England and Pak. Won against SA, struggled a bit against Afghanistan. Apart from the match against Aussies, India played well in this WC.

    I had my money on Australia until today:(.......if Watson and Warner go early the rest don't seem to have a clue

    You can say all you want about Pakistan but they have now qualified for their 4th semifinal in a row.....have the potential to beat SL and win the whole thing

    West Indies need Gayle to fire and fire big and I think their best chance of winning against Australia would be if they chase rather than defend a total

    SL.....perennial finalists in recent world cups...2007,2008,2011...but maybe their time has finally come to win

    Too close to call I reckon;)

    4 teams left now little bit on all four here : http://www.olbg.com/blogs/post.php?id=403885


    pakistan can cause an upset, judging from womans game this will be one for spinners again.

    Some last over there. 25 off it.

    Aussies need 206. Not sure they'll do it.

    Fantastic batting, and hopefully it will be enough.

    All over now with the Aussies 6 down.

    Hopefully Gayle plays like that in the final.

    That was shambolic from Australia:(.....the two matches that Watson failed in they got hammered in both

    SL v WI should be a good final though....as a neutral I want both teams to win:)

    I think I want the Windies to win the t20, but would a win be to the detriment of the other forms of the game there I wonder? Particularly with Gayles disinterest in the longer forms for so long. It would be a shame if there was NEVER going to be the prospect of seeing a ferocious West Indian Test team if they put all their eggs in the T20 basket. I suppose the "glass full" answer would be any tournament win for them would reinvigorate the whole of cricket there.

    Just been watching the replay. I'm just delighted to see the Windies doing so well. Hopefully this gives them a base for other forms of the game, and will encourage a new generation of players to come through.

    I reckon Gayle is likely to play in the final even if injured - he showed himself capable of incredible shots even when carrying the injury today

    Horrible innings so far from SL. Quality bowling and fielding from Windies.

    West Indies were my favorite to win this at the start but took to the semis to get going. They really do know how to play T20 - if only they could play the longer formats to the same standard.

    Or even try as hard.

    32/2 after 10 overs winning the toss and batting first......I thought the Windies were dead and buried then but that was the mother of all turnarounds

    Superb innings from Samuels who has really been their star player all year in all forms of the game

    Well done the West Indies:):)
