    Great comeback in the second half of the innings.

    Erm, Southee, where was that peach earlier in the day??

    I would love to feel more confident chasing 306, but farkkkk we've been batting poorly.

    Hoping the pitch hasn't slowed up. A big hundred from Martin Guptil would be handy...

    You do feel like he is due... but perhaps waiting one more game before those dead shark eyes come out might be better!

    Would've been in if he reviewed. Was missing on height comfortably. Looks too high in real time, was screaming review at the TV. Argh.

    Just saw a very painful stat. We are 10th in terms of runs scored by openers at this tournament. 299. Aus first with 1020.

    Think that stat is wrong. Williamson and Taylor have scored 687.... oh wait you mean named openers not the ones who have faced the majority of the second over.

    Farks sake! Just the kind of luck we don't need...

    Edit: yep Williamson gone after Taylor drives and Wood gets a finger on it and into the stumps with Williamson backing up.

    Pretty rude of CDG to make the fielder have to move half a foot to catch that.

    This world cup has really seen the return of the craps we all know.

    I stopped watching its 3am here. Can only hope Southy does a Beaver and redeems himself with a quick fire 100

    The last three and a half efforts have been pretty dire, and we are only in with three narrow wins and NRR...

    But despite taking the long way around they are exactly where most thought they would be: clearly fourth in a four team field, and will need to pull one out of the bag to win a semi-final. But if you gave me Aussie in a semi-final with Kane,Taylor and Boult healthy then I'd take it.

    We don't deserve to be in the semis after these last three efforts.

    Some appalling strike rates for a team chasing a big total and our two best batsmen both decide to get run out.

    Neesh though? Fucken good tournament my son. Always a fan.

    The Black Caps are starting to look like the Warriors; dumb, woefully predictable, and they've even given up on any redeeming razzle dazzle along the way.

    Yet somehow there's (all but) a semi final berth...!

    I’d be pissed off at this comparison if it wasn’t so true

    I went to bed after 4 overs.

    I was listening to Dion Nash yesterday before the game and found myself agreeing. He said that there was no point changing a winning team despite some of the performances. In hindsight I agree even more.

    I would have said to Munro, "No matter what you score you are playing in the final so if you get out, it doesn't matter, you're in the starting line up, so stop worrying about your position and go and hit the damn ball"
