Post by: Wolfie33 on March 22, 2015, 06:47:45 PM
All rightie then, we are now at the business end & here are the contenders vying for a spot in the final.

SF1 -  New Zealand vs South Africa - Tuesday 24 March 02:00 p.m. NZT at Eden Park, Auckland
MetService say it should be fine but a few showers may be possible.

SF2 -  Australia vs India - Thursday 26 March 04:30 p.m. NZT at the SCG, Sydney
From what I have seen, at this stage Sydney may have a few showers & possibly thunderstorms.

Pop ya picks in please, cheers     8)

Hmm- tough!

New Zealand - South Africa
SA bet NZ not that long ago, but the NZ outfit has proven to be flexible. I think if it rains then there is more chance NZ will go thru given their playing style. Both are good teams and either could fire on the day. SA have lost 2 games. NZ with home advantage

Australia - India
The Australians have looked good, but aren't at their best at the moment. Australia lost once to NZ, but will have the home advantage. India have a clean slate.

but either game could go either way.....

Yes gabba, tough all right!

New Zealand
I've gone with the heart, that was easy, hoping, but not entirely convinced in the head  ;D

India
I just have a feeling that India is going to jell on Thursday.
I reckon their batsmen will finally let loose, rather than play the solid game they have so far, & their bowling attack will come good & put the acid on the Aussies.
Whatever, I hope it's a cracker of a game.

So . . . . any one who doesn't know how things went down, well . .
you evidently live under a rock, or you're a hermit.  :D

Match    1st Semi-Final: New Zealand v South Africa at Auckland, Mar 24, 2015 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo (http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-cricket-world-cup-2015/engine/match/656491.html)

Oh & the Black Caps won (for all you hermits & rock dwellers) & they/we are off to Sydney.
A great team effort, and come back at the tail of our innings.

You absolute crackers!!

SF2 -  Australia vs India - 26th March at Sydney

In a nutshell, Aussie were too strong & India unable to up their game (sadly for me)  :(

Match    2nd Semi-Final: Australia v India at Sydney, Mar 26, 2015 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo (http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-cricket-world-cup-2015/engine/match/656493.html)

A comfortable win to Australia by 95 runs.
