You mean, with the bookie? That's certainly where your money is now.
Razzaq is an amazing hitter and Gul seems well capable on this pitch NZ short on confidence! 50/1 are decent odds and if it goes belly up its only a fiver in any case!

Congratulations to NZ. What a dominating performance! In fact, I think it’s the most dominating win of the tournament considering two full members were involved. Ross Taylor, WAG!! So can we now consider NZ the dark horses to win the World Cup, instead of Pakistan?

As for Pakistan, what a spineless display. This is two matches in a row with less than satisfactory performances, tstl. I suppose the only silver lining is that it can serve as a wake-up call and it comes early enough during the tournament to where we can hopefully rectify some of the issues.

Performance of the tournament from the Kiwis!! :notworthy

Gutted I missed the best part of Ross's innings, but was very impressed with Mills, Southee, Oram and their intensity in the field during the first 15 overs. Hardly let a ball get past the offside ring.

I'm happy for the Kiwi fans, this performance was long overdue. They are a much better side than what they have shown in recent ODIs.

Firstly, if Kamran had held the catch off Taylor, Pakistan would probably have won, so I wouldn't read too much into this win.

Secondly, if Vettori is out of the WC, any slim chance we had in this tournament is gone.

Quote of the day from randomn fan on Cricinfo: "It's Ross Taylor's birthday: Akhtar delivered the cake, Razzak the candle, and Kamran blew it". :laugh:

Congratulations New Zealand.Fully deserved win.

People already starting to write Pakistan off? :laugh: . The Pakistani fan mentality is hilarious.One bad game,and they start writing you off knowing fully well that this is the most predictable team in the world,and at it's most dangerous when written off.

Now i'm even MORE sure that we'll win the world cup.We have to pull off a shocker before hitting top gear when it matters most.Infact,i won't be surprised if we struggle to beat Zimbabwe and get drummed aside by Australia.We're winning the 3 knockout matches.Mark my words,i say.Mark my words.

GO PAKISTAN!

What just happened in the last 5 overs of NZ batting ?
Ross Taylor went berserk; scored something like sixty-two in his last sixteen balls (seven sixes, four fours!). He was ably supported by Jacob Oram and some rank ordinary bowling from Shoaib Akhtar and co.
