41 from 60
This could be tight

50 for Pig!

I'll doubt it, although, you never know with McMellon as Ian Bishop calls him.

Should really be finishing off my paper but like I dick I've followed this game on Cricbuzz.com for the last hour or so.

50 for Pig!

He is basically getting a 50 every game. Crazy stuff considering he was the one batsmen in our squad with no real form heading into the WC.

Although I did pick him as one of the players of the tournament so.....

 

[TT Boy]

South Africa must think the game is over, Robbie P and Ntini are into the attack.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Yeah, cant really see NZ losing it now. It will take a Malinga like performance.

And with Peterson bowling, well, looks like South Africa want to get it over with.

 

[TT Boy]

Scotty got restless.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Styris gives away his nice little not out. Maybe he felt sorry for Robbie P and his miserable career, thought he will lower his average for him. Nice guy is Pig

Oram to come in and finish it off. We shouldn't count our chickens yet, but this has been a good win for NZ.

Good win for England aswell

 

[PhoenixFire]

Indeed, I'm an honourary NZ fan for today only. Unless it's NZ v Aus in the final.

 

[TT Boy]

Good valiant bowling from Andre, game is over but his still given it his all (no wonder his favoured so much). South Africa should be tempted to give him the new ball against England and bring in Charl for Ntini.

 

[Bahnz]

It would really be for the best if Oram just got off strike and stayed there. New Zealand really don't want to have to win the game in the last over.

 

[TT Boy]

Nel now needs to take five wickets in five balls.

 

[TT Boy]

Game, well played New Zealand. South Africa will feel rather 'disappointed' to see the wicket not be as generous to them as it was to Bond and co. but they had a chance and they dropped it (numerous times).

England game on Tuesday is beyond huge and rather perversely I fancy England.

LOL-ing at McCullum's nonchalance

Was good first ball and all.

What the hell?

Where did Styris go?

Good stuff from NZ, looks like it's Sri Lanka in the semis. Unless Australia loose their last two then its them.

 

[Pratters]

It also helps with NRR I suppose if you get teams out quickly and then make the runs fast. Not that Australia needs NRR but for other teams, it can be crucial.

Ponting did elect to field keeping the NRR in mind.

 

[Craig]

I saw the wicket at the start and knew it favour bowlers, but how do you not get over 200 when you have wickets in hand and you bat the whole 50 overs?

Bangladesh v Ireland should be interesting.
