And DingDong's here!!! The real icing.
Yea the way I look at it NZ have been in 6 semis to SA's 3, so they are due.I feel so bad for South Africa. But then i would have felt bad for New Zealand if they had lost too. What a game. Congrats New Zealand
I'd be surprised if we aren't talking about those two run outs (and the dropped catch/ collision) in 4 years time tho. Kinda sad.It's a bit ironic that SA' incredible fiedling effort in the end wasn't enough because of those two absolutely terrible missed runouts.
Let's get serious
Yeah that partnership was epic. Amazingly calm batting under immense pressure. Looked so determined not to throw it away.That Anderson Elliott partnership must be one of the greatest ever in knockout cricket. Scoreboard pressure. A couple quick wickets. The Yarpies getting a little movement. And they just kept calm and batted on.
Morkel definitely came back to almost take it from us.
Agreed.SA could well have got 350+, but they could also have gotten 310-320 because they have little batting depth. They had 7 extra pre-death overs, one of the most volatile periods of batting - plays can run riot knowing they can just wait for their balls to hit, or lose a wicket and go into their shell, wait for the death.
Ultimately South Africa decided to bat first knowing D/L generally favours the chasing team, although again that's countered by South Africa's lack of batting depth - which didn't get the chance to be a factor.
South Africa had their chances. New Zealand did what was expected, kept coming and took advantage.

i think no body cares about it now ...why you need to repeat the same thing again and again come to the other semifinal thread we wil have some fun theirLet's get serious
NZ were done with ABDV at the crease
They got home via Ellott and rain
Let me repeat - ****ing Elliott
I feel really sorry for SA
Ah bugger off. In that Universe Guptill may have toned up. Cricket isn't a hypothetical sport. This was as fair a rain shortened hame you get. You can't take what Miller came out and did for granted. Could easily have edged one early and they'd be looking thankful to reach 310.Let's get serious
