Dogshit from Jordan here

[Captain Howdy]

Catastrophic over 

[Jairzinho]

Jordan making a game of this.

[Captain Howdy]

Was that Steve Bruce?

Ah right, I’ve only just put it on

[alles ist gut]

Well you can put it off now.

[Captain Howdy]

Could do this with an over to spare.

[Captain Howdy]

Brilliant from the Kiwis, dogshit from England.

[Jairzinho]

Yeah, good stuff that from New Zealand. 

 

As shit as Jordan's over was it looks like they could have chased down about another 15 anyway.

Good game that, NZ worthy winners.

[YorkshireRed]

Fucked it.

 

Fair play to New Zealand though.

Hope they win it. It was brilliant when we won the 50 over WC against them but it still felt a bit bad as NZ seem like all-round good eggs. The problem is good eggs don't often win, and bad eggs Warner and Smith are still there.

I hope they win it. I’d quite like a NZ v Australia final now though. I’ll really be able to get behind them if it is which will improve my Sunday afternoon viewing.

 

If Pakistan win, I’d still want New Zealand but I wouldn’t massively care.

Thanks for coming, Aaron.

Might tune in to watch the toss on Sunday.

This tournament has been win the toss, bat second, win the match.
 

I’m not sure playing big semifinals and finals in the day/night format works if dew on the ball is such a big factor. 

 

Anyway, hope New Zealand win the toss and smash the Aussies all over the place.

Even without the possible physical favourables like dew, it is a massive advantage jyst knowing exactly how to pace the chase. Might have to think outside the box , and maybe take an over off the team batting second.or some type of Duckworth-Lewis system for the runs required.

Unlucky.

You'd be absolutely gutted wouldn't you. In fairness, it looked really innocuous. He's been very unlucky.
