Well.. NZ are known for chasing big totals but this one takes the cake seriously.. i doubt if they can make 290 against an attack of Muruli Vaas and Malinga. Bye Bye kiwis.

D P M D Jayawardene not out 115.

New Zealand have players like Oram, but it's a big total batting second.

Jayawardene's innings was one of the best of this World Cup. Might be a match winning one at that.

You won't see a better example of how pace to pace an innings.

Come on New Zealand. Thats who I am supporting.

I would have loved this to be the final. As it is, my two preferred teams battle it out in the semis, leaving one of my two least preferred teams to triumph in the other semi.

Never mind. I hope the winners of this match lift the trophy.

I don't think the game has necessarily been marred, but Taufel and Koertzen have certainly given us some things to talk about today.

Not a lot of chance for New Zealand now, 3 wickets in the last 13 deliveries.


New Zealand 114-5
