Their message should read "Why are you still watching this? Is there something wrong with you?"

'we're saving you from yourself'

@nzzp ten an over is gettable if we have proper batsmen in.

Windies showing that spin can prosper on this pitch, though. We fucked that up!

Southee might be good for two balls.

Just one today for Timmy!

41 runs off 2 overs - dire stuff

[Windows97]

Managing to run out of overs chasing 150 is quite the achievement.

Has been quite a low scoring tournament

[No Quarter]

150 was an excellent score on this pitch. Those last 2 overs from Santner and Mitchell really cost us any chance of winning.

[nzzp]

33 off the last 7 balls needed:

[bayimports]

wow, cant remember the last time we didn't qualify, although Im sure there will be an article on it soon

Where's Lance Cairns when you need him?

[Chris B.]

Santner takes 19 off the last over to cancel out his earlier shit over - but, it's too little too late.

[Cyclops]

Come on PNG!

These tournaments are about getting Tier 2 nations exposure to the higher levels, so in that regard it's worked...

[Windows97]

37 runs off our last 2 overs and we lose by 13. What a mess.

[Bones]

Batting like you haven't played cricket in a decade or two was a bold strategy that probably wasn't likely to pay off.

Pretty pathetic.

[Donsteppa]

Dreadful attempt at a World Cup.

[Windows97]

Ironically Cory Anderson seems set to progress further in this tournament playing for the USA instead of the black caps.

[Cyclops]

Looked up when we last missed the semis at a world cup - was 2014. Pretty good run. Worth noting that we're not even going to make the super 8 stage here, which makes this our worst performance since, well, ever. Since tournaments got bigger to have either a second group stage or quarter finals we've always progressed.
