1st Semi Final - New Zealand v South Africa (24th March)

[Agent Nationaux]

NZ are probably going to win due to the run that they are having but I would personally like to see RSA v Aus in the final.

 

[Francis]

I have no idea how this game will go. All along this World Cup I've had this gut feeling that South Africa would win the World Cup. Even when they lost to India, I felt they hadn't exhausted all their potential.

South Africa need to be wary of Kevin Skinner - New Zealand often unleash him when they become desperate for a win!

I will be cheering in the final for whoever wins this match, regardless of outcomes.

I don't think any neutral wants Aus or Ind to win another.

 

[Furball]

Guptill scored 200 in his last innings, 100 in the one before that and 50 in the one before that. Clearly, therefore, he's going to score 400 against SA.

Should be a piece of piss with the short boundaries #pratters

I'm supporting Aus so that someone new can't win the WC.

 

[Contra]

Faf has got his wish now he needs to score a 100 so I can claim my prediction was correct! =)

Seriously though this is going to be one hell of a match. SA's 5th bowling options still a weak link imo

The last time NZ played SA at Eden park in a WC this happened:

As always, '92 shows the way.

Why don't you want someone new to win the cup? Or is it just that you prefer India/Australia to NZ/RSA?

 

[Shady Slim]

If Aus get eliminated then the winner of this semi gets my support.

 

[Bahnz]

SA will win. Have been dreading this match-up ever since India tipped SA over at the MCG.

oh my god, chris harris with a full head of hair

 

[Burgey]

As a neutral, this really is a mouth watering game. Just some awesome match ups.

Xive just realised halba called southee and boult the best pair in cricket the other day and now he wants southee dropped

 

[Smudge]

Yeah, I am. Can't wait.

That's our chances ****ed then.

 

[_Ed_]

Ha, nah, I think the dark days of the jinx are behind us now. The last four ODIs I've been to have been three NZ wins and a tie.

Faf's got his wish. Kyle Mills to handle strategic drinks breaks?

probably best for me to avoid Eden Park (good thing I haven't got tickets). Seen Ross Taylor bat about 8 or 9 times and the highest he's scored was 13

NZ at the SF at Eden Park in the world cup again . The shadow of that 1992 SF calamity is upon all kiwi fans . The Blackcaps need to put that 23 years of suffering to bed forever. Its at home at Eden Park , not quite the fortress it has been , like for the All Blacks but home advantage still. Martin Guptill's favorite ground too.
