Is it confirmed? Virat's captaincy is good but it's also because the players have proved themselves else without team work, the captain also can't outperform everytime.

Nope, no official announcement yet. But that's combination seems logical to me according to my limited knowledge. Don't have any choice except KL Rahul so I am sure he's going to open the inning with rohit.

I am impressed with virat captaincy because in last match he used his bowling options nicely.

There is also a tweet from ashwin about KL rahul is going to fit into the place of Shikar Dhawan well and also well enough to lift the cup.So it may give a feel like its not official statement but the decision has been made from BCCI side.

BCCI still hopes for Dhawan's quick recovery but I don't want him to take so much risk with an injury. They'll be done in 3-4 weeks (hopefully if India does manage to reach the finals).

Both Karthik and Vijay's chances are low after the warm-up matches. They changed Rahul's position too and he did not perform well so I guess they are considering all the combinations. I am not for any player as such but hope the team as a whole wins.

AUS vs PAK feels like AUS have 90% of chance to win this game if rain doesn't interrupt.

Today also have chances of rain,right?

Just two months worth of rain forcast for the next two days 

If the game is on then Australia should take this one fairly easily, I'm going with:

- Warner total: Over 40.5 (1.92)
- Pakistan Top batsmen: Mohammad Hafeez (6.20)

LOL
I just checked the detailed weather report and it looks like this,

This is not looking good. No one expected this kind of WC.

I would not say it 90%, would go with 70-80%, have you forgotten what have PAK done with England? AUS is far better than England but that doesn't ascertain thaat they will win.

Forget all these, there are 60% chance that this match will have no result. From 13:00 hour local time the rain will start and it will continue until 22:00 hour.

That's a weird decision from ICC. How on the earth they don't forecast the probability of rain? That's stupid. SA has almost out of the tournament, they even could not fight well.
Same goes for the Bangladesh as well. They could have create a chance of reaching semi, but through abandoned the match against Srilanka, their hope has gone  
How pathetic!!!

[JSRAW]

Pakistan won the toss and opt to bowl today.

I am Just hoping that Rain doesn't ruin the fun for deserving teams when reaching in top4 (Semis). There might be some surprise or tight competition in the point tally if the rain keeps playing its part in every game.

[RapTarX]

Interesting.
1.1 overs
Australia- 0/0
What do you guess mates? Will Australia be able to score 300+ today. I am not in favor of 300+, I guess today score will be below 280, although that will be enough fight hard.

LOL nothing can be guessed right now. Australia will surely aim for 300+ runs and if the rain does not interrupt then Australia should have a very comfortable win. I do not think this Pakistan team has anything to stop Australia.

The pitch is in favor of bowlers for which the score will be lower. However, Aus has a big batting line and anything is possible.

The temperature in Taunton has increased to 16 degree cel and the wind has also been decreased to 13km/h. I guess the chances of raining is being lowered.

Hope it does I mean I hope there will be no rain. Check the run rate now.

Australia is going for a slow start, they are trying to keep the wickets in hand. Once both batsmen will be set then they will start hitting the balls. 300+ runs should not be that hard for them.

They are doing good so far, if they go wicketless in first 10 overs then pressure is on Pakistan and if warner and Finch manage to play 20 overs then Red flag for Pak as they rattles very easily.

Full stop here I am kind of unlucky, so no match scenario commentary

Weather improved so much, and most probably we will have full match in Taunton.

Australia started very good in match even condition favorable to bowlers, for me Australia will win this match.

8 overs gone and Australia has not lost any wicket yet which means they are well set to increase their run rate. May be they will wait two or three overs and then we will see they are constantly changing sides and when they find a bad ball they will hit it for boundary.

Pakistan needs wicket.

What happened?

[erikalui]

49 for no wickets. Till now I don't see Australia making 300+ runs but if they don't lose any wicket till the 20th over, Pakistan should be under pressure as they don't have great batsmen to chase so many runs (despite them doing so in earlier games but this is Australia). Current RR is 5.5 which is reasonable.

To win this match safely Australia will be heading to 300+ runs no doubt. Considering the current situation if they do not lose quick wickets then they can even go for 350+ runs :-D

Have you seen the match between India and Australia. India did score 350 runs even no one thought they will do that. These days even 300+ runs are not safe. Pitches are too much batting friendly also the batsmen are psychologically way ahead than bowlers.

[Cloudbet]

Damn that dropped catch in slips might come back to haunt Pakistan, it would have been big to break the Auzzies momentum at the moment.

Yes, and against any team 300-340+ runs means a win if the team is able to defend their runs and field well (unless weather takes a toll). Here it looks Australia will easily cross 300 as they are 107/0 now. Rarely if a strong team makes 300+ runs, they end up on the losing side. Today it doesn't look like it will rain so Aus chances of winning are 70%.
