@Chris lol it's hard to fully respect a sport that blatantly tries to give one team an upper hand. The Indians will be almost impossible to beat on a pitch that they've requested so to speak. I can see us batting really well but then getting completely annihilated when we bowl. Hopefully we bat first.
Yep I have the same feeling,if we win the toss I hope we don't make the same mistake we did against SA and bowl first.

Looking at the stats from previous games in Mumbai, you need to win the toss and bat first. Williamson needs to call correctly.
and then choose correctly, as well ...
not a given.
they seem to like to chase.

Yeah, what they should do and what they want to do doesn’t always seem to match up…

Williamson and Stead might want to read this.
The lucky winner of the toss at the Wankhede Stadium seems set to bat first – South Africa made 399-7 and 382-5 doing so against England and Bangladesh respectively, while India tallied 357-8 verus Sri Lanka. Batting second, England were rolled for 170 versus the Proteas while Sri Lanka collapsed to 55 all out against the hosts. When Afghanistan made 291-5 versus Australia, our trans- Ta$man neighbours were 91-7 before Glenn Maxwell happened.

Why do I suspect even if we win the toss and they did read this, they would only read "our trans- Ta$man neighbours were 91-7 before Glenn Maxwell happened." So there is a chance..

Indian cricket this sounds familiar it is worth reading the whole article
First there were suggestions India asked for a slow pitch to be prepared. Now, it’s been reported Indian officials have switched the pitch for their crunch World Cup semifinal against New Zealand in Mumbai without the ICC’s permission.
The accusations come ahead of the crunch match, which starts on Wednesday night (NZT) with the winner advancing to Sunday’s final against either Australia or South Africa.

The UK publication also reported there were concerns the surface set to be used for the final, to be played in Ahmedabad, could be changed unilaterally.
Pretty happy if NZ gets to choose our preferred pitch when we play South Africa in the final.

I'm on the second half of a course titled "The Bereavement Journey" this morning, so that should set me in good Stead to carry on.
I like what you did there
is that a cricket term

Has coverage already started over there? I imagine if England were involved in the semis we would've had it start an hour ago here, instead it only starts in twenty minutes. Having to watch a documentary with all the England players talking about how awesome they were to "win" the last final.

No one wanks on about past victories quite like the English. It’s the 1966 football World Cup all over again !

Everyone on the Aussie panel pre game are saying NZ have to bat first to be a chance.
