ICC Champions trophy SA **Spoilers**
- Thread starter rotters
- Start date
Never thought I would see an Aussie cheer the Kiwis
Thats because hes running scared that the Paks would have beaten the Aussies in the final
....not really but nothing wrong with a bit of wishful thinking.Anyhow thats Paks out...again they showed their ineptness when batting although i thought Akmals LBW was a bit dodgy...he got a bat on it but meh at the end of the day they needed at least 250+ and then NZ would have had problems chasing that total down.
Cant fault the bowlers, they did their best...it was the batters that failed us which is nothing new from Pak.
Anyhow i reckon the Aussies will demolish NZ on Monday....like they did with England.

I just like to keep it in the family.
Seriously, the Kiwis have fought like demons at every single stage in this tournament, so full credit to them for reaching the finals. If they do go on to beat us, I will have nothing but respect for Vettori.

Actually I was nervous about facing Pakistan in the final, because our last game showed that they are fully capable of beating us. I would much rather face the Kiwis!
Mate, you're a great sport. Penty of people who would not be so gracious in defeat.
Memo for Younus Khan: catches win matches!

Luckily for you i admire the Aussies and the way they play...they dont give up that easily although losing the Ashes this yr was pretty bad but they have been making up for that loss through their demolition job of England in the ODI series.
Paks will never be any good at fielding...they bat pretty well and bowl even better but when it comes to fielding they really are dire and a lot of the times it costs us matches that we should have won...although now and again ie 20/20 WC where we showed we could field if we put our minds to it.
Personally i didnt mind us losing to the Kiwi's...they were the better side today...bowling and batting wise...they unlike Pakistan batted intelligently...whereas we did an England with our important batters getting out by playing stupid and silly shots.
Doesnt bother me who wins the Champs trophy...the Kiwis if they win definitely deserve it.
Vettori out with a hamstring injury - unlucky
NZ's slim chances have just got slimmer...
Oh dear not good...looks like Aussie will run rampant over them...although if NZ win it will be nothing short of a miracle.
NZ to bat first.
I'm not watching but just checking the score now and again, his bowling figures seem pretty good so far;
Lee
Overs 4.0
Maidens 1
Runs 10
Wickets 0
NZ 22-1 after 10 overs
projected score... 100? Aus will walk this I reckon.
