Excellent, a great win, and once again we’ve confirmed the the departure of South Africa from the tournament!
I believe that’s 5 CWC wins in a row against South Africa to us

And with the exception of 2007, South Africa were comfortably ahead at some point after the change of innings in all of them.

What a thrilling game. I don't think I've ever actually seen Kane hit a six. That was ace!
The one to end the pool game against Australia 9 wickets down in the last CWC was fairly memorable!

AND NEW ZEALAND (SHOULD BE
IN THE WORLD CUP SEMI FINAL!Ok so I need a slide rule and a log book to work out the permutations but ...
Of those outside the 4 we can't finish below Lankans or Ghans.
Minimum 7th.
Of the other 4, Bangles, Windies, Pakis and Saffas they each could go past us if we get no more points and they will all their games.
They can't ALL go past us coz there are some games they play each other and take points from each other.
Need to get to work on the draw thingame to check out our possible futures. Where Dr Strange when you need him?

Thrilling win, and Kane Williamson deserves all the superlatives.
But our overall batting is still a weakness. It is reasonable to assume that scores of 240 will be needed to win further games in the tournament.
That was a slow dead wicket though They reckon 260 would have been a good score.
Only problem I have in the batting line-up is Munro. Rissole him for what's his name and we look quite good.

Superb from Kane especially when he was clearly battling with his right elbow after that ball from Rabada(?) got up on him a bit in the 3rd/4th to last over.

One of the commentators (Nicholas?) pointed out that the Black caps have been playing on low scoring pitches so far

Great win. Solid contributions from many. Kane amazing. Colin very very good in both innings, Locky and satnav bowled well - did their jobs
Once upon a time guppy was probably not out as the law used to stipulate while playing a shot, I think they changed that law.
Would have been a great game to watch all the way through.

- I feel confident in stating that SA is our CWC bitch.
- (I also have sympathy for Saffa fans, cos DAMN the Proteas have a unique ability to yank defeat from the jaws of victory.)
- KANE.
- On the whole our bowlers were great. Trent was out of sorts, but Santner, Henry and CDG were steady and Lachie bowled some pearlers. Was less impressed with the fielding. Two dropped catches and sloppy returns/missed runout chances were frustrating.
- KANE.

so 6 weeks of solid rain needed in the UK?
