India absolutely dominating this match, Kohli is going to make another hundred.

Looks like the weather is going to hold off tonight. 7% chance of rain in Calcutta apparently.

Yep, should be fine, so we’ll have to wait and see what method of implosion SAF will deploy tonight.

Let’s party like it’s 1999.

We're just as likely to party like it's 1979 with this current group. Exceptional individual performances have masked a variety of sins. If the Saffers successfuly target Zampa then we might be chasing 350 plus ourselves tonight. I really hope we don't drop our best fieldsman of the tournament for Mr Bits and Pieces Stonis who doesn't dominate in any facet of the game but you can really see it happening.

Zampa is the key tonight as our attack is utter tosh.

Have you blokes ever seen a more matter of fact, inevitable hundred than Kholi's last night? It's just routine that is his genius. He doesn't need to unveil an imperious knock to rack up three figures it's just another day in the office for the King. Reckon he might be the GOAT of this format.

Unfortunately I agree, we’ve had to buy large amount of Spakfilla this tournament hoping it will do the job.

There’s no way either team will beat India anyway.

Have to agree, he really hasn't looked like getting out at all this tournament, did what he liked when he liked last night

In saying that their top 6 all look like making 100's when they come out to bat at the moment

Probably on the money regarding Kohli the ODI goat.

What is impressive is his averages playing ODI's in each country....

Aus 51.04
England 51.88
India 60.92
South Africa 76.38
NZ 49.67

The bloke doesnt have a weakness anywhere around the world.

The way they effortless lift the ball into the stands is incredible! Partly the bats, partly the hand speed, a lot the timing.. but still effortless.

Kholi last night looked like a man against kids, just doing as he pleased and often without any risk just ticked over the score to 100.

Yep, plenty of talent in the Indian side.

Tempered slightly last night by NZs bowling attack which has been awful all tournament. Their strength is clearly their batting.

NZ 5 million population
IN 1.42 Billion

NZ do well- they punch over their weight often

IN in a position of extended global dominance in all forms of cricket

I’m surprised that Cummins said that he would have batted as well. Any rain now will be to our advantage, unless of course it’s a complete washout over 2 days which isn’t going to happen.
