Only have themselves to blame. Same thing happened 4years ago I think.

I mean they got lucky with the rain. They weren't going to chase 400

Really just prolonged their chance by a few days.

I don't know you know. They were on 200-1 after 25ovs. All academic anyway, but it would have been nice to see them try.

No just principles of appreciation of good sporting achievements.

Always played my sport that way, and believe it should be played that way at whatever level, play hard, but when somebody does some brilliant, shake hands and say well played you were brilliant on the day.

Would say that if somebody done something brilliant for Newcastle in football, or Australia or India in cricket.

Thought it was pretty much a ironic moment in history when Flintoff bent down to say well played to Brett Lee and the end of the 2005 second test, two giants giving their all for their team but at the same time appreciating each other’s effort for their team.

No ifs are buts Maxwell simply brilliant innings full stop.

Indians Vs Kiwis
Saffers Vs Aussies

Best 4 teams in the semi. That's why I don't mind this format. Cream has time to rise. Hate to say it but it looks like Ind Vs Aus final. Would love it to be SA Vs NZ, fingers crossed.

The toss is massive in the India vs NZ game. Whoever bats first will win.
 
Nothing against you lot, but imagine Pakistan do beat you by whatever they need, then go on to scupper india in the semis. Imagine the meltdown. Warms the heart, it does

India if play to their best will win imo, whether they bat first or second, since Burmah came back from injury they have all bases covered imo.

Been able to leave Yadav out of their batting line up until Panyda got injured and Ashwin out of their bowling line up shows the massive depth they have.

Both them players would get into most if not all sides and not first choice for India.

I'm afraid you might be right.

Yep, it's a shame, they had a chance to inflict some damage earlier on in the tournament but fell short.

No chance they beat England with whatever daft run rate they need.

I should have said if India win the toss they win.

NZ need to win toss to give them best chance. Boult could do magic under the lights if they've got a score under their belt.
 
The NZ SL result took NZd net run rate (NRR) of 0.743, leaving Pakistan needing to beat England by 287 runs, while Afghanistan need an even more fantastical 438-run win over South Africa, if they are to surpass New Zealand's NRR.

If Pakistan were to chase, they would have no chance of qualifying.
