This is why I love cricket. What a game. Congrats to South Africa but I will never understand going into a cricket match with only 4 bowlers. I don't even know when this trend started but SA's part-timers went for 64 runs in 8 overs. But When Dale Steyn goes for nearly 9 and over and can't defend 12 runs in the last over you know it's not your day. Good luck next time South Africa.
Huge congrats to New Zealand, just one more game now. Come big in that and make you nation proud. Elliot (born South African) came up huge, Vettori what a player. Anderson and obviously McCullum's initial burst (if they win the game it's great but if you lose then the fault will fall on McCullum). The bowlers controlled the game early on but you knew AB/Miller/Faf were going to put up a decent total.
What a match! I was so sure SA would win especially with Steyn bowling the last over. I don't even know how Vettori got a boundary off that yorker, just brilliant. SA retain the title of chokers in a way with all the missed opportunities but then again this was a game where both teams deserved to win. Huge congrats to the Kiwis!
Nothing would feel better than to beat Australia in Australia in a World Cup game tomorrow night, well beating Pakistan (again!) was pretty awesome but this is a bigger game with higher stakes against a top cricketing nation. I'm fully prepared to be happy and disappointed, lol.
Man that had to be the match of the tournament so far. Thought SA were going to win just prior to the rain delay as that partnership was really heating up. Congrats Kiwi's, and hats off to SA.
