Semi Finals

[GGG]

What happened? Sri Lanka are not this much better than us, are we really this bad?

 

[viktor]

ok. You've made it pretty obvious who you wanted to win though.

tbf, so did you.

Wish I'd gone to bed last night now. So tired and it wasn't worth it. Apart from Jayawardene's innings that is, superb knock.

Well it's hardly a secret who you and I were supporting either.

of course

Our much vaunted lower order have no spine when it matters.

I hope tomorrow's game is a bit more competitive than this. New Zealand have been thrashed by a much better side here.

Shows Craig McMillian has the IQ of 41.

I hate Muralitharan whenever we have to play against him, he's just too good.

.....

If this is how Sri Lanka is to play in the final, it would be an awesome match to watch !!!!!

yep. Better side on the day but safe to say they have the wood on us.

Burgey,

Very dubious sportsmanship to claim it

That's a passive-aggressive dig if I ever saw one.

Fiery had the right to post his opinion and others have the right to call him on it.

Torn between crediting SL with great performance and criticising NZ for a particularly horrible one - the latter never remotely looked like it from ball 1 of their innings

On a side note, I wish they'd stop showing Murali's action in slo-mo - it's the most cringeworthy sight in cricket

Great performance from Sri Lanka who have been completely dominant for the majority of this match. Good bowling restricted NZers from getting any real valuable partnerships and their batting meant that NZ didnt really have much of a chance of winning coming into the second innings. Will look forward to the final although I sense it will be another one sided affair as have nearly all of the matches of this world cup so far. Cherio NZ and congrats to SRL who rightfully deserve their spot as a contender for the world cup. As for my NZ bias. Its only four more years of posting on CW before the next one

We don't have a hope in 2011. NZ can't win a World Cup in the subcontinent.

2015 just might be our year...

 

[GGG]

That will be the last time we see McMillian in a black top I guess, promised so much early in his career but was never consistant. Maybe Fleming will get the axe, I hope not but I am sure the New Zealand public will be out for his blood.

 

[Perm]

This is lame, now hopefully New Zealand get to play more Test matches.

 

[TT Boy]

Add Malinga and whenever Vaas has the new ball...

New Zealand, unfortunately did not have a pray when it became apparent that Bond was not firing. You know you’re in trouble if James Franklin is your best bowler.

 

[MoxPearl]

Spineless... and heartbreaking

Time for a good long break from Cricket imho

Cmon All Blacks, Team New Zealand and the Warriors@!!!
