Completely apropos of nothing, but: "fruit and vegetables must not be taken out of Eden Park" - wat

I thought I saw that but was sure I had read it wrong and it was must not be taken in.

His reaction after catching it too.... they wanted to win it so bad

On that subject, Corey Anderson hung around for ages to see if the ball hit the spidercam wire. What would have happened if it did? Dead ball and not out, or what?

 

[BeeGee]

Sorry NZ, you don't drop AB and get to win.

Dropped him several times.

 

[Chewie]

Yep dead ball

 

[Swingpanzee]

yup similar to Flintoff Lee in the 2005 Ashes

edit: was in reply to the photo

There's always a million stories in the naked city that is the post script to a close cricket match... That catch, that diving save, the effect of rain, etc etc

Just gotta love the effort of both sides and appreciate it. Soak it up. What a magnificent game it is that we all love. No negativity please, just bask in it. The joy, the depair. This game is a metaphor for life. Embrace it.

Great post

Well done to both teams.... Awesome match, worthy of being the final.

Both teams put their heart and soul into winning that match.

Just brilliant!!!
Congrats to the NZ fans and SA fans should be proud of their boys.
You can't ask for more than that in terms of commitment.

Lets hope India vs Aus is just exciting as this... Becuase the bar has been set very high.

wat a game NZ

so gutted that missed good portion of the match

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah, that was pretty good.

[Bahnz]

Also feel gutted for SAF, NZ definitely benefitted from chasing 300 off 43 instead of 350 off 50. Still, ****en Elliot. Welly gets it done again, am i rite Howsie?

McCullum " The greatest time of our lives. We have enjoyed the experience"

We all agree

.

 

[Gnske]

Surprised no one capped Steyn's face as he was looking soullessly into the pitch trying to figure out whether to murder someone, cry or just fall over.

No doubt they'll come back stronger after this though.

 

[hendrix]

for the last bloody time:

SOUTH AFRICA DID NOT SCORE 350!!!!!!!!!!!!

ffs.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

If NZ wins this world cup, Im permanently keeping my signature forever because if there was one man who earned the right to be aggressive its Brendon McCullum
