Amazing. Guptill has had a horror tournament, then he gets Microsoft out. Incredible. Can't believe NZ have made the finals.

BEST RUN OUT IN HISTORY

Disagree!! Those of a certain vintage would claim Botham running out Boycott in NZ to enable England to win. Mr Boycott was more concerned about the damage it inflicted on his average.

NZ are the kings of the close win. Bangladesh, SA, WI and now India.

When they lose, they get thrashed. When they win, they give some of the best matches to watch.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

NZ win by 18 runs. If we should get through to the final, we so badly need to win the toss!

 

[MorgansBitOnTheSchneid]

Australia win the toss and choose to bat. Unsurprising choice.

 

[tomw24]

First blood Australia.

 

[Le Saint]

Bugger. Game over

 

[st_brendy]

We'll do it the hard way then.

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

Booo!

 

[Number 1 Jasper]

Bowlers . Do a New Zealand. Please

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

If we don't get 3 wickets in the first over we are doomed.
Or perhaps not
Come on England.

And review lost. Double whammy

Makes you wonder why Finch reviewed. I thought I heard something, but he'd have known if he hit it. And having not hit it, it was never missing. Finch/Warner should have known/accepted that, before reviewing.

Get one more quickly, and suddenly Handcombe is facing the new ball in the SF of a competition that he wasn't even selected for until just a few days ago.

 

[st_brendy]

YES! YES YES YES

I think they always feel there is a big chance of Umpires call on impact or hitting wicket

A whisker away from a second ball duck.
