Andy Bichel: A day that Australia and Steve Smith will never forget

Runs on the board in a match of this magnitude were so important because it left a lot to do for the Indian top order against this bowling line up that is firing at the right time. Mitch Johnson has had a quiet tournament by his standards but took the wickets of Kohliand Sharma as there were the real dangers at the top of the order.

The other Mitch is still going from strength to strength with this white ball. He is getting stronger by the day, and now he pace is right up there and still at times looks like he is doing it easy. I suppose in the end an easy win by Australia as the margin looks like that but some hard work by Australia top order really set the game up.

For Australia, it was a day Steve Smith won’t forget easily - a hundred at the SCG in a World Cup Semi Final with his friends and family in the crowd will always be special to him.
