Kohli gets his 50th ODI century, one ahead of former record holder Tendulka. Tendulka tool 450+ innings but Kohli got his in 279 innings. Strangely, this is the first time Kohli has topped 50 in a knockout at the CWC

Is this India ODI team the most complete team ever?

Not sure I can see a weakness - especially in home conditions?

Yep at home for sure.

Maybe only Hayden, Langer, Ponting, Gilchrist, Mcgrath, Warne etc to challenge?

Noooo Conway!!!

Beautiful comment from Sachin on Kohli breaking his record.
The first time I met you in the Indian dressing room, you were pranked by other teammates into touching my feet. I couldn’t stop laughing that day. But soon, you touched my heart with your passion and skill. I am so happy that that young boy has grown into a ‘Virat’ player.

I couldn’t be happier that an Indian broke my record. And to do it on the biggest stage - in the World Cup Semi-final - and at my home ground is the icing on the cake.

They've got nothing on Mark Nicolas when the Aussies are playing.

How hard was the TMO trying to give that runout?

If bails are disturbed he has to pull the stump right, or am I behind the times here?

Yup. Can't disturb the bails before you have the ball, which Rahul did.

Latham a bad choice for this moment, too slow to get going.

Get chapman in as a sacrifice to keep the RR up then GP

That;s such good sportmanship. Mitchell really has to get off as Gill did.

Well that's that. I was hoping against hope, stayed up all bloody night in a world cup..... again.

Have to say though it's a pleasure watching India. Team and a half, T20 has sure changed cricket their batsmen are unbelievable.
