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

[biased indian]

So the two best matches of this WC ended with a NZer whacking a six.

Hope for a similar game in the final.

My boy Corey to do it this time.

come sunday you will have to hit those sixes longer and harder

Nobody's talked more about choking here than me, probably.

But let's just sit back and appreciate an absolutely epic effort by the players. I've rarely seen such a riveting combination of skill, determination and pure effort from two teams... you could see both were willing to give their blood, sweat and tears to win this. Anyone using the C word today is either the most jaded cricket fan ever or a complete dunderhead. Epic, epic match.

Can people please stop going on about the ****ing rain and how it screwed South Africa? Yeah I get that ABdV is the best ODI batsman in the world but how many do South Africa pile on if he sticks ball 38.1 straight up in the air?

There were 12 overs left which is a long time in limited overs cricket. Plenty of time for South Africa to lose a couple of wickets and completely lose their way.

I'd hug the **** out of Elliot too Laura

 

[GotSpin]

Not enough people boning up for Vettoti

Best World Cup game ever. Kudos to both sides. Absolutely ball tearingly magnificent.

I have been looking for a proper adjective to described the match for the last 15 minutes. Found it. Thanks.

Wow, this is stuff dreams are made of. What it must have been like for people at the ground I can only imagine, but I can't wait to read some posts from CW members who were at the ground.

I was so nervous and riding every ball of the match but what nerves of steel Grant Elliott has under so much pressure.

BRING ON THE FINAL!

 

[GGG]

Yeah best game ever, no matter what happens in the final it has erased my memories of 92'.

 

[G.I.Joe]

I've got the game recorded on the DVR, but I'm pretty sure a re watching would just finish the job of straining my nerves dead.

 

[dfrinku]

They're replaying it on Fox and I'm going to watch it again immediately.

I've never wanted any player, apart from Sachin, win the World Cup more than AB
