69 for 4. New Zealand don't want to win this.
Don't just take India or Australia lightly.England win this World Cup, said it after 20 overs in the India game.
We have turned up just in time.

screwing the pooch = messing up. Countless times during my life I've listened to the likes of Johnson and Agnew big up England's chances only for it to (almost) inevitably blow up in spectacular fashion at an important moment. That means I have this Pavlovian trepidation every time someone says we'll win something.I have no idea what that means, but if it refers to bottling it against the Aussies - you are correct.
Of course it's Australia.How are NZ in the semis, whoever gets them will have a free pass into the final.
200 Runs. But then again Pakistan has to win with similar margin against Bangladesh.How badly do NZ have to lose from there for Pakistan to even have a chance?
What on earth are you on about.It's just a shame a world cup of this format is hosted during these months in England. If you can't have reserve rain days just let India or Australia host it.
NZ being in the semis is a joke theyd have no doubt crumbled to India.

About rain affecting games and there being no reserve days.What on earth are you on about.
We had one week of bad weather in a 6 week tournament. Get over itAbout rain affecting games and there being no reserve days.
Yeah I think we've made an error here.I've got to say i'm not a massive fan of playing a couple of spinners and allowing these guys to get comfortable.
1 week of no results in a 6 week tournament. Sure doesnt questions the integrity of it.We had one week of bad weather in a 6 week tournament. Get over it
You sound a bit bitter.1 week of no results in a 6 week tournament. Sure doesnt questions the integrity of it.
Could you imagine fifa world cup games getting rained out. Brazil and lithuania splitting points with the justification given oh well you never know who would have won.
Its shit and it wasnt unpredictable whether from previous forecasts I've seen. No excuse for no reserve days.
Luckily a deserving team like India or Aus will still win but for NZ to be in the semis is a joke.
Unless of course England further flatten these pitches to get their side through to the final
I love cricket I love the world cup and I can't stand games being no results in the one tournament that happens once every 4 years. Bitter is just scratching the surface.You sound a bit bitter.
Don't agree with a word of that unfortunately mate.1 week of no results in a 6 week tournament. Sure doesnt questions the integrity of it.

Well then surely you'd prefer an England India semi final than a Pakistan India one?I love cricket I love the world cup and I can't stand games being no results in the one tournament that happens once every 4 years. Bitter is just scratching the surface.
I also think its damaging to the game to see another borefest Aus NZ semi with aus cruising through.
Compare the amount of games abandoned and their impact vs other cups. This time has been more than previous x world cups combined.You sound a bit bitter.
This isn't the first time there has been games abandoned in a World Cup.
Why would anyone agree with reserve days...ridiculous isnt it.Don't agree with a word of that unfortunately mate.
Overall the impact of the abandoned games in this tournament has been minimal as well. NZ got lucky but it's not an absolute travesty as it would have been if say Sri Lanka had made the semis.Compare the amount of games abandoned and their impact vs other cups.

England India are two well deserving teams. That said India would have finished first had the NZ game gone through and now theres a risk they may get out in the semis. Theres just too much left on conditions.Well then surely you'd prefer an England India semi final than a Pakistan India one?
Sri Lanka actually beat England. I cant see NZ beating any top side.Overall the impact of the abandoned games in this tournament has been minimal as well. NZ got lucky but it's not an absolute travesty as it would have been if say Sri Lanka had made the semis.
Despite NZ being 4 down here, I think they'll give England a go here.
We are losing out due to no reserve games, I wouldn't say that is minimal. If the same had happened to England I would love to see the same posters going get over it.Overall the impact of the abandoned games in this tournament has been minimal as well.

Yeah and NZ beat Sri Lanka very comfortably.Sri Lanka actually beat England. I cant see NZ beating any top side.
We've got reserve days when it matters.Why would anyone agree with reserve days...ridiculous isnt it.
