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

[James]

agreed, although he should've been in the suad from the start in my opinion

Agreed, but if memory serves me correctly, wasn't it between Boult and Henry for the final spot?

[Contra]

Which team would Aussies or Indian fans prefer facing between NZ/SA for the final? I fear NZ a lot more personally even though AB is a freak.

 

[Howsie]

For those guys who haven't seen too much of Matt Henry enjoy, he's something special.

 

[Zinzan]

Would have preferred us to win the toss & bat, but not overly worried...I certainly don't think the toss is the winning/losing of the game at Eden Park, there are still some advantages to chasing on such a small ground.

Also with nerves expected to be at their worst early, I'd kind of prefer us bowling.

Nah Ross Taylor is going to step up. His innings will be the difference

I hope you're right but can't help but feel he'll slog Tahir to cow corner and be caught out.

Agreed, but if memory serves me correctly, wasn't it between Boult and Henry for the final spot?

The ability of Boult to really destroy top orders on his good days, along with his partnership with Southee was too much to ignore. Henry was always on standby for this sort of situation.

I hope you're right but can't help but feel he'll slog Tahir to cow corner and be caught out.

If you are that confident get an orange t-shirt and stand there then!

 

[Adgey]

Interestingly the odds have stayed the exact same Since SA won the toss and decided to bat. I expected them to move in SA's favour slightly.

**** I'm so nervous and confused......rooting for the Kiwis but I like the Saffers too, holy **** can't believe it's the semis already

On the ground?

 

[GotSpin]

Supporting NZ but willing to switch if Steyn becomes a monster

 

[Zinzan]

Let's not forget we rolled Australia for 150 bowling first here, even if the wicket is slightly more tired this time around.

Hope heads aren't down about losing the toss, really shouldn't matter.

Come on, henry!

Would prefer SA as we would smash them. Pulling for NZ though. All hosts final would be massive fun.

 

[jonbrooks]

GONE GOT HIM FIRST BALL!

Just kidding ;-)

 

[Swingpanzee]

So proud to watch the NZ boys in their white and golds.

 

[Moss]

Goosebumps. Come on chaps!

 

[nevermind]

Nervous as hell, go Kiwis! Would love an early wicket to rattle the Saffers!

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Hope if we get carved that at least Amla does it.
