Great performance, outplayed SA in all depts, including fielding which I never thought would happen in my lifetime.

First double century in World cup history, amazing innings from Gayle, was lucky but last 10 overs was just awesome hitting.

AB De played amazing innings yesterday, 160 plus in just 66 balls is unbelievable. No record is looking safe with him batting.

Also Kiwis killing Aussies :yao:

NZ bats deep. They'll finish it off, but it might get close

Hopefully. Now sort of settled.

Amazing match, Starc is having great season. 1 wicket and 7 runs needed.

NZ wins by one wicket.. a walkoff of all walkoffs.

I can do the math. I know it's either by wickets or runs on who first/2nd. (see earlier parts of the thread)..... must've been a stressful game to watch know it came down to that six.

I was just joking around. My ex who was from the states used to make me laugh when she asked me questions about cricket using baseball terminology.

And yeah, tense finish. I'm looking forward to the knock-out stages

While I don't know all the stats.. I do know the basic rules to understand a game. There was a common indoor gym version of this game for kids (with a kickball instead) where we would run back and forth to score.

When I was at the University, there were quite a few Indian people who would keep scoreboard watching cricket games. Or they'd play an amateur practice thing on the grass lawn.

I don't know the Starc guy.. but saw the tape and was wow'd how close that game was after it looked like NZ would cruise easily.

Only thing I would struggle with is the shape of that bat. My swing would suck off the bounce

What a sad way for Sanga and Mahela to end their careers, great players but very bad ending

Thanks. Incredibly intense game. I made sure the cricket was on the radio earlier tonight while I was kickboxing and it definitely contributed to me getting caught in the face a few times. Worth it though. Easily the best game of the tournament


Good luck to your boys against Australia.
