CWC Semi Final - Black Caps v India
-
That really was an incredible game. A full match played over two days coming right down to the wire to book a place in the final, with the good guys prevailing. You couldn't write a better script than that.

I think Jimmy the Neesh was co-writing that

Bigger than 2015. We came back from the dead

“The more I see that Guptill throw,” says Siddharth Singh, “the more it like a finishing move from Mortal Kombat.”
When you consider the context - of the match, and the tournament he’s had - I reckon that’s the champagne moment of the World Cup so far.

I'm glad I checked this thread a 45 minutes ago and saw the game was close - I don't watch much cricket these days but good to see BC do well. But, my Indian-Aussie mate was smack talking about India the other night so I can't wait to rub it in his face tomorrow.

That has to be one of the biggest upsets in a WC semi final. Plucky little NZ in terrible form playing against the top side that has been smacking all comers to date.
Just. Epic.

But at 12rpo they needed to move so it was either going to come off or produce a wicket.
For sure, they were hitting 2s with some regularity at that point, perhaps looking for a boundary along the ground or 2 was better. Hard to fault them though. It just seemed the idea was to take it deep and then have a big over against Neesham or Henry - it seemed a waste to lay all that foundation then hit out on Boult's 59th ball. Perhaps they needed to really go for it in Henry's final over (which was good) or to just wait until Boult was done.
Either way I don't think Dhoni batted poorly, he struggled to get it off the square against the spinners which put him in good company with Taylor and Williamson.
-
Kohli is all class. He must be seriously hurting right now.
-
Sounds like Kane and Ross decided a score of 250 would be competitive which explains the way they batted. Can't fault that logic, so often in games like this we go too hard and get skittled. We really are blessed to have two such world class batsmen.

My strategy to reverse the Curse of the Meldrew's obviously worked.
At 192-6 with 5 overs to go, I gave up watching and tidied up the garage.

Possibly not as bad as it sounds?

This game is already over
NZ will go do well to get 225 runs let alone sniff 250 runs
I think the Kiwi based TSF members can have an early night
Spot on as always.
