Was listening on radio, so epic. Shattered it didn't go to a super over though.

Axver · 01-28-2015, 05:00 PM

I told you all that because I could watch the semis but would be out for the final, the semis would be pretty dull and the final a classic. Bah!

Vlad n U 2 · 01-28-2015, 05:40 PM

South Africa managed 361 off only 42 overs (shortened by rain), oh boy.

Axver · 01-28-2015, 08:05 PM

Bugger me, and without AB playing either.

Today's NZ vs Sri Lanka game just began. McCullum's being rested, interestingly.

Axver · 01-29-2015, 12:45 AM

Oh my god New Zealand sort out the fucking openers PLEASE.

Vlad n U 2 · 01-29-2015, 12:49 AM

They can finish a match better than the majority of teams but they can never, ever start well.

Axver · 01-29-2015, 12:57 AM

Not going to win a bloody World Cup if our openers can't set us up.

That said, I'm going to keep dreaming of a New Zealand vs South Africa grand final.

Axver · 01-29-2015, 03:50 AM

Aaaand we fell short by 35 runs, with a whole bunch of players getting starts but none of them going on to register a big score. Disappointing really.

Vlad n U 2 · 01-29-2015, 04:26 AM

Fair play by Sri Lanka. Chameera seems an exciting type, can bowl mid 140s.

Axver · 01-30-2015, 08:10 PM

New Zealand vs Pakistan at the Cake Tin today. The Black Caps are resting Williamson, Vettori, Southee, and McClenaghan, so basically over a third of the first choice team! And we still opened proceedings by bowling a wicket maiden.

Vlad n U 2 · 01-30-2015, 08:43 PM

I hadn't realised there was a match today!

Axver · 01-30-2015, 09:01 PM

Yeah there's a short two-ODI series between New Zealand and Pakistan, with one game in Wellington and another on... Tuesday? in Napier.

Pakistan not looking flash right now, 3/32.

Vlad n U 2 · 01-30-2015, 09:07 PM

Pakistan always confuse me as a team, they always seem to have a fair few gun players but at the same time they never really seem to get anywhere.

Axver · 01-30-2015, 09:22 PM

You mean like New Zealand historically?

Vlad n U 2 · 01-30-2015, 10:47 PM

Yeah, actually, I guess in that case they're not all that vastly different, are they?

Vlad n U 2 · 01-30-2015, 11:16 PM

Afridi is doing that thing he sometimes does again.

Axver · 01-30-2015, 11:22 PM

Aaaaand the exciting Afridi cameo is at an end. Looks like New Zealand won't have too big a total to chase.

Vlad n U 2 · 01-31-2015, 12:36 AM

Pakistan have a bowler the size of Aaron Sandilands.

Axver · 01-31-2015, 01:44 AM

Ah I've been busy doing other things - which one? Just about to put the stream back on. New Zealand look to be cruising now.

Vlad n U 2 · 01-31-2015, 01:46 AM
