Semi Finals and Finals

Not Terrible
But it's these easy catches that need to be taken. You don't see India and Pakistan dropping many easy catches, and when they have (1-2 come to mind), it hasn't affected the outcome of the game in any way. And on top of that they have fielded well, and have taken the tougher ones.
It happens. :happy:

Great stuff there.

Why? Ain't Maori and Pacific Islanders a laid back people? Just like they are more athletic. Or is that not being PC?
There's a difference between calling them laid back, and saying they don't have the concentration. Crowe was rightfully censured for making a pretty nasty generalisation about Maori and Pacific Islanders. Saying they don't have the concentration and discipline to sit around and play cricket for a couple of hours is tantamount to saying they don't have the concentration to study, or read or pretty much anything.

Third major championship in a row NZ have gone out in the Semis. The fans would be livid I'd imagine. Or maybe used to it.

We're destined in most sports to go out in the semi-finals. Just wait for the All Blacks to get knocked out in the semi-finals in a couple of weeks :mellow:

Made for so frustrating watching this, Kiwis didn't even make a game of it. Could see the look on Vettori's face, he was more than just annoyed.

You'd have to question the place of Fulton & Oram in the makeup of an ODI/Twenty20 team, and is Taylor the worst fielder in international cricket?
