As predicted Kohli and the Indians were too much for the Aussies at home. It was a good effort by Australia but in the end they just don't have the quality spin bowling you need to win in the Subcontinent.
Also, the big news of the day is Afghanistan beating the Windies! I know the Windies has a reputation for not showing up in meaningless games but this is still a huge upset. Actually, I think I've found a winning strategy for Australia going forward: entice Afghan bowlers to move to Australia.
Pretty excited for the semi finals, but damn, New Zealand's starts at 230 AM here. Oh well, such is life

And THEY bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh, this is a Nazi bar now. And its too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.
Yeah the kiwis tried to outmuscle the English with pace, but that was the wrong track to do it on. Good for England, they have had a rough time in the recent past.

Well I was wrong about the Indians. I want to call them big chokers but to be fair the Windies are a great team who are probably the best in the world a chasing down a big total.
West Indies win the T20 World Cup beating England in grand fashion. Last over 19 needed, Carlos Brathwaite (no relation to Freddie ) hits 4 straight sixes to end it.
