I imagine Alastair Cook is having a little smirk to himself.
Whilst naively convincing himself that he'd have done better!

Wow! What a game this morning! Its been a largely humdrum tournament but the NZ-SA semi-final was superb. Great innings from Grant Elliott to see the Kiwis over the line.

Think South Africa got the wrong end of Duckworth Lewis, especially with De Villiers in full flow.
Pleased that New Zealand won though.

DL is clearly out of date now, despite the relatively recent update. The run rates in the last 10-15 overs have changed so drastically and DL is def behind the curve on this as to what your resources are worth
SA were very unlucky with the timing of the rain and the fact that they still had 6 overs of the 5th bowler to come which they pretty much lost, that said fair play to New Zealand a cracking chase, with the tempo once again set by BMac up the top. Cory and Elliott both played well but Saffers missed a few chances
The good games in this have been great, but sadly theres only been 3 or 4 of them out of all the games. Lets hope the other semi and final are as good

Always a joy to beat SA , though I didn't think they had a chance at the end - until Vettori tinned a boundary in the last over.
Couple of chances went begging, but some superb fielding otherwise! That's been the major improvement in Cricket recently imo. More aggressive batting has also been the trend too.
Certainly the best 1-dayer I've watched, as well as being the most exciting.
NZ Cricket has come a long way from being Ilford 2nds and a Star!

And ironically that's where England probably are in the 50 over format!

just missing the star
True. Although Buttler could be a star if England played him a couple of places higher than 7!

What an amazing game it was.. Watching it while chatting with my kiwi friends and they were sh**ting in their troos before the last over. Could have gone either way. SA has been at the wrong end of the D/L stick too many times now. I am glad that they did not choke but lost to a better team.
It took a safie (Elliott) to get NZ into the Finals.... Imagine if we had kept another Safie (KP) in the squad....
(on a less controversial note),.... The game was brilliant. There was no sledging or tantrums just brilliant display of cricket, sportsman spirit and raw passion for the country. This image probably summed up why this was such a fantastic game..
Hopefully the last two games will be similar.. lot of bad blood between the Aussies and India tonight

Typical Dhoni. Leaving it far too late by just plodding it around for 15 overs. Really don't get why people think he's such an amazing finisher. He's no Michael Bevan.

That is pathetic. Would have made it with a dive, but just gave up.
