Semi Final 1 - New Zealand v England (30th March)

[GIMH]

This is closer than I want it to be

 

[91Jmay]

I would feel nervous but these two are so, so good.

 

[Meridio]

There goes the good work from the last 3 overs.

 

[GIMH]

Yeah, all of a sudden I'm fine

 

[Scaly piscine]

Have it!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Very very easy win this.

So who do we want then, Gayle or Kohli?

 

[91Jmay]

Jos is a ****ing superstar

 

[MW1304]

**** yes, Buttler soothing any nerves I had.

This has been near perfect (Eoin aside) from about over 9 really. Best full game we've put together in a while, certainly in such a pressure situation.

 

[Neil Young]

Gutted.

Well played, England.

 

[91Jmay]

Superb win. Real team this lot. I don't fear West Indies and I'd back us comfortably over India. Hope India win, because I'd make us favourites.

 

[Cabinet96]

Jos finishing it in a hurry when I have to leave in 10 minutes. My love for him can't grow any further.

 

[LightningStrike]

Amazing! What a performance by England!

 

[Meridio]

Well, no surprises where we lost that. We completely **** ourselves at the 10 over mark. England only half **** themselves.

 

[Goughy]

After England lost to WI earlier in the tournament, I promised the 30 or so people in the office lunch if either England or WI won the event. Looking forward to possibly doing so. Just now hope WI come through tomorrow.

 

[vcs]

So how much did NZ actually need then? I'm thinking close to 200. Great win for England, well played.

 

[91Jmay]

The 53rd ranked T20i player did amazingly there with the bat

(No one tell Kiwiviktor but Root was actually ranked 12th prior to this innings anyway).

 

[GIMH]

Outstanding.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So how many of the players who have reached the T20 final in India have been bought for IPL?

Genuine question as I don't follow it.

Better outcome than India winning certainly.

That's done wonders for the NRR.
