Therein lies the challenge for NZ/SA/WI this weekend in the World Cup. The Aussies won't drop anywhere near that number of catches or give so many chances.

7 drop catches by Pakistan IIRC. NZ have some very average catchers too.

going to be excellent watching today for Pakistan England. Game is poised - could swing either way. Pakistan in front, but not by too much

A slightly less ridiculous scorecard than the last test it must be said. Pakistan don’t have much of a lead and England could easily Bazball their way to victory.

[nzzp]

@MN5 only 4 down

Will be interesting. This pitch seems like it's doing more

South Africa beat the Aussie women in the World Twenty20.

Australia are out!

[Donsteppa]

Didn't see that result happening either.

They'll still have to play exceptionally well, but the White Ferns have a chance if two of the top order can fire (the usual White Ferns caveat)

@MN5

Pakis with their noses in front I reckon. Much depends on Root for England’s chances. If he sticks around then we might nick it. If he goes early, I think we’re fucked.

It would be funny to have the South African women win a world cup when their men can't

[sparky]

@NTA Same could happen with the NZ Men and Women too.

Can’t see how we survive to 290 odd given how much the pitch is turning. So much better to watch than the last game though

Didn't your blokes win a Champions Cup or something?

White Ferns did back in 2000.

Last over of the Semi, West Indies need 15 to win. 14 to tie.

[sparky]

A four off the first ball. West Indies need 11 from 5.

[sparky]

Dot ball. NZ defending 11 from 4.

[sparky]

A wicket. Bowled. Suzie Bates on the money. Defending 11 from 3 now.

The most important moment in NZ sporting history involving a women called Suzie since some bitch poisoned the All Blacks right before the 1995 World Cup final.

[sparky]

1 run. WI need 10 from 2 balls.

[sparky]

All over. New Zealand win by 8 runs!!!!!

NZ will face South Africa in the Twenty20 World Cup Final.

[Donsteppa]

South Africa in the final - I like our chances slightly more than if it had been the Australians.

England and India don't even make the play-offs and Australia don't make the final!

Sticking it to The Man!
