I'd rather face England than NZ in the finals that's for sure.
I just think it'd be pretty funny if NZ were knocked back down to Earth by the ODI side who are better than only Zimbabwe and Bangladesh in the top 10.

To be fair, it would be pretty hilarious (and utterly ridiculous at the same time) if England made the finals ahead of NZ.
Shouldn't happen though, NZ should win this one. England's bowling attacks will be seriously depleted.

TBH i would't be suprised if England won... Ian Bell & Flintoff being the men to take them to victory. Bell did actually look in good touch before playing a stupid shot to get out in Adelaide.
If not, Oram & Vettori will produce the goods as the did last time these 2 teams met

And to think 18 months ago English fans were touting their bowlers as the best bowling attack in the world by far with great depth.

That implies we're somewhere towards the stratosphere - we're still horribly underperforming in general (with the odd good bit).

Don't expect anything from Oram. Has scored 5 fifties in a 90 match career. 2 of those fifites have been in the last 2 matches. Law of averages says he won't do amazingly well in this match.

Of course you need to improve, every side in this competition does, but I was implying that you're simply on a high after getting so close to Australia in the last match.

If Bell doesn't hit the ball in the air through the field like he always does he'll be fine.
He won't do that though.

The pressure to beat England might not help New Zealand. NZ's batting approach will be interesting.
They just came off a close match with Australia so now even more people will be expecting them to beat England. Considering also that England have come off two consecutive low 100 scores.

Don't you mean bat?
Or, you know, he could be realising his potential. You seriously think this of a guy who just made his two highest scores in the last two games? He's in form, but he won't do well?
