Shaun Pollock joins Bob Willis on the latest World Cup Debate to reflect of a frustrating day as rain at Old Trafford ensure the first semi-final between India and New Zealand went to a reserve day.
New Zealand scrapped to 211-5 in 46.1 overs on a difficult batting track, before the rain came to ensure a return on Wednesday to complete the contest.
Bob and Polly look back on a day dominated by India, discuss New Zealand's prospects of fighting back on Wednesday and look ahead to England's semi-final against Australia at Edgbaston on Thursday.
