[Athlai]

Our middle order is a worry eh?


For everyone else.

 

[viriya]

Wow Morkel crying.. ****'s so hard to watch.

 

[weldone]

Steyn underperformed with the ball in this tournament. I expected much more from him.

 

[Gnske]

Heartbreaking really, game of the tournament

 

[Swingpanzee]

well played South Africa, an epic performance that we will always remember

 

[Prince EWS]

Awesome game. Loved every minute of it. Right result from my perspective too. Elliott, WAFG.

Now I shall depart the thread while you idiots debate whether it was a choke or not despite each of you all using different definitions of the word. Catch you in the Aus-India thread.

 

[Spikey]

I can see it now in my head. New Zealand are going to win this WC and carry Martin Crowe around the ground.

efa

 

[biased indian]

Well done NZ Elliot MOTM......SA i would say definitely choked in fielding...hope you get to play us for a repeat of the champions trophy ..i will be happy if you guys beat us also in the final need to get past AUS

 

[Flem274*]

i don't have enough capital letters.

don't know what to type. i love this team. all eleven of them. so proud. elliott fan from way back. what an inspired recall. dan after years of leading a losing choking team. dan after that gets a final.

well played to south africa. love you guys. before the game if you won this i wanted you to get smashed, but during the game i changed my mind. brothers on opposing sides. **** australia. **** india. if you guys won i wanted you to destroy them.

tears in my eyes and i don't cry.

i love this team

 

[Pothas]

so when do we start the poll?

Do SA win this game if rain doesn't interrupt?

They win, for me

Yeah I am fairly sure they would have.

But anyway that was worth any number of one sided games just for that.

Please win the final NZ.

 

[straw man]

That's ****ed

SA would've got 350-400 and NZ would not have had a prayer

Mark it down as a day where I support SA

**** off, seriously

 

[anil1405]

Congrats NZ.

Now go and win the WC you ****** *******. Don't bottle it.

 

[GotSpin]

Oh wow.

 

[ajdude]

the greatest non-7th ODI: India vs Australia at Bangalore ODI I have ever seen.

 

[Spikey]

Awesome game. Loved every minute of it. Right result from my perspective too. Elliott, WAFG.

as if that thread is gonna be any better

 

[Shady Slim]

top effort by both teams and players such as amla, ab, morkel unfortunately really got fricked over by some **** from teammates but if nz lost the same could be said for mccullum and vettori

the passion and such that steyn bowls with is great however after a check of the stats philandurp should have had the last over.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'm crying and I don't know why. I'm simultaneously gutted for SA who gave it their ****ing all, (SA posters... chins up... that fiedling effort was something sensational ) but delighted for every single NZer and every single NZ poster here.... congratulations you legends. And for Elliott, I called you useless and you've made me taste it. Thank you

We're gon smash you in the final, you heroes.

 

[jonbrooks]

I don't know what to say. I just don't know what to say. Check out Elliot. He's so cool. Carl Hooper cool.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Ronchi to win the final against Australia.

Both of these posts 100% correct. NZ were **** on toast and the rain saved them, they'd basically bowled their good bowlers out already and had two set batsmen ready to launch for 15 overs. Toasted.
