CWC Semi Final - Black Caps v India

[junior]

@Bones completely understandable but you need to look at this England team in isolation as they are completely un-England-like. So, I reckon there’s little we can draw on from past experiences against them, whereas we have a good enough body of work against Aus - both historically and recently - to feel more confident about playing Aus

And then they cheat to win. Perfect ploy, nobody would be expecting it!

Really glad both teams had the full 50...of course, had we been the beneficiaries of DLS I wouldn't have minded too much.

Where are the Matt Henry haters now?

Top performance when it mattered

I posted my mea culpa earlier, calling for the return of Munro on the same logic.

Wow, cricket!

Amazing moment for NZ cricket and the country as a whole.

Can't help thinking how proud Martin Crowe would be. Today is another part of the great man's legacy:

The greatest time of our lives

Whatever happens, the Australia-New Zealand World Cup final at the MCG will be the most divine fun

Well that was a good piece of news to wake up to.

Matt Henry bowling extremely well. Fancy that.

Just call us Pakistan 1992....we got this fellas.

[Hooroo]

Went to bed after 20 overs knowing at least there would be a result.

Well done Blackcaps and @Baron-Silas-Greenback for being bang on the money.

Ha some cheeky fluffybunny has set up a Facebook page.

Martin Guptill, specialist fielder.

Laura won’t like that.

had to go to bed , up early this morning ,

What a great result,

We may never have the best cricket team in the world, but they do fight above their weight probably better than anyone .

Shaun graf ( ex aussie international, now runs victoria cricket ) actually said that to me

[jegga]

never doubted them for a minute

So India were lucky to come away with a point from the earlier rained out group game.

Henry did alright didn’t he..

Obviously a fern fan. He read all Barons helpful pointers and criticisms and applied them.

We have a few chinks in the armour no doubt, but we sent a loud message to the other two sides today.

Shane Warne made an interesting point. Thinks that the experience NZ got from being in the last CWC will count for a lot.

Far more players stepped up to the mark in this game than in previous games - hopefully a good omen.

Oooh errr, can I watch the final at yours?

Just bring your own rodding set.

[Machpants]

Nice result to wake up to, quite surprising!

[Bones]

@Victor-Meldrew you know me too well.

@Machpants sure is...might only have been $6 I put on them, but got the BCs at $4 for the win....rolling in it 😂
