**Official** Semi Finals and Final

[pasag]

Cmon ffs, this is killing me. Thought I'd get to go to bed early.

[Loony BoB]

Required run rate finally moves back below six, at least for a moment, due to a lot of running and extras.

EDIT: Lee's final three overs will be crucial, I think, and maybe Bracken's too.

[Dravid]

Hmm this partnership starting to cause worry for Australia. I'm actually starting to have hope for New Zealand, memories of 2004 final are coming back.

[pasag]

Excellent innings from Vettori so far. His 3rd 50. Hussey regretting dropping Oram right about now.

[Dravid]

100 Run partnership, 50 from Vettori. This is turning out to be some game. 105 now needed.

[pasag]

Brilliant stuff by Gilchrist. Oram stumped for 43. All over now. Was actually looking forward to seeing one of the greatest comebacks ever.

[Dravid]

100 Run partnership, 50 from Vettori. This is turning out to be some game. 105 now needed.

I jinx everyone.

[PY]

Gone, and over I reckon. If it wasn't before hand.

[Dravid]

159-8. Good come back though.

[pasag]

Franklin caught behind for 8. Bowled by Watson.

[TT Boy]

He said something along the lines of " Mate you need to know where you offstump, go back to the domestic scene and sort of yourself out."

Thus implying Fulton isn't good enought to be an international cricketer which may have angered a few peeps

Fair comment.

[TT Boy]

The game might be over but here’s hoping Dan can still ton up.

[pasag]

Finally, Vettori taken out by Johnson for 79. But such a good innings from him, the most memorable of this tournament for mine.

[TT Boy]

****.

If Pietersen's actually meant something in the context of the tournament, it would eclipse it no question.
