And it was the top 3 all gone for 1 run each, not much wag in this Indian tail, kiwis did exactly what they need to. It’s on Pant n Dohni probably

We're all criticising New Zealand for their slow batting I guess it shows what we know

Theyre in huge trouble. England and Australia smiling
Re: The Cricket Thread
I haven’t paid much (any) attention to the kiwis, Boult n Henry have done a job, kiwis got much else on offer with the bowlers?

ID say their bowling attack is their strength not their batting

Excellent, I’d love to see NZ make their first final

What are you talking about they made the 2015 final

I (thought) I read they’d made 5 or 6 semis but never a final in a World Cup

Re: The Cricket Thread
Very strange rule to have a one-dayer over two days. Like I said earlier the conditions can be completely different from one day to the next.Azza wrote:We're all criticising New Zealand for their slow batting I guess it shows what we know
C'mon the kiwis.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Yeah but I don't think that's been at play here. The pitch was tough to bat on both days and I'm sure if India had the choice they would have taken chasing 250 odd.
NZ deserve this, but atm India are 6 down and looking to stage a comeback

Great fielding. What a corker of a semi this has turned out to be

Re: The Cricket Thread
That run out was probably the play of the tournament. England and Australia - win and you are in the box seat for the world cup now. NZ have been great today but can't see them doing this twice unless the pitch is like this in the final

Re: The Cricket Thread
Reckon we are underdogs tomorrow but I hear Wade will play - golden opportunity.
Re: The Cricket Thread
Great finish. Didn't watch any of the rest of it. Did NZ deserve to win?
Re: The Cricket Thread
Yep, I think they did. They copped criticism for the way they batted but it was unjustified, in hindsight.
On that pitch Australia may have dodged a bullet not playing in that semi

Re: The Cricket Thread
Two great games tonight. India with a 200 Times larger population than NZ, but can’t do it.
What a throw by Guptil to run out Dohni.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Yep. Did the damage early on and were on top from that point. India gave themselves a chance but never really looked like getting the runs.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Boult and Williamson have been the entire team this WC.
Stop Williamson, NZ dont have enough runs in them.
Avoid Boult wickets, you can probably get at the rest.

Re: The Cricket Thread
I dont mind this, BUT...
Wade has been killing it at the top of the order opening the batting. Hard to slot him in at 4. Not sure that would work, not convinced it wouldnt though.
The other thing is, this looks like us trying to stack out team with ball strikers, to combat the ball striking in the Pommy side.
I actually dont mind Handscomb coming in for Uzi. Coz its like for like batting style.
Its a tough call for Langer to make.

I was a little off the mark with my burning effigies of David Warner. They are burning Indian team posters instead.-PJ- wrote:There's a billion Indians on suicide watch I'd say..

Re: The Cricket Thread
Surprised they didn't put Wade in for stoinis or Maxwell... Guess you don't want to chop and change too much in a semi final
