Woooo. We won! Have to say, the pitch didn't help England. Good toss to win etc.
I just read through the thread. A lot of laughs. Especially the Bopara slagging off.
Elliot and Bond did fantastic with the ball. They set it up. The middle order is a concern. I'm glad McCullum and Guptill played aggressively. As NZ fans we've all seen what happens when we go after a small target defensively, we crumble and lose. Finally we've learned from it. Good opening stand. Maybe we need Styris back. We need some stability and experience. Broom isn't cutting it and Hopkins is just absolute garbage.
Oh well i'm relieved. We'll probably lose in the semis once again, but at least we have another shot.
Oh and good to see Vettori calling Collingwood back. Especially after it was Collingwood who didn't call back Elliot and also the runner thing, which is sort of fair enough I guess. Collingwood probably deserved to go. Good to see us playing in the spirit of the game.
