The real contenders have stood up in the semi finals so far

Will the kiwis?

Does stand up mean win? If so, probably, but you never know... it's win or go home for everyone...

This is a game to be nervous about, they'll either smash the West Indies or lose narrowly on the back of one of their many guns suddenly firing

Will definitely confirm whether kiwis are contenders or pretenders. Should win and win well if we are the former

 

[JJ]

Every game now is one to be nervous about... I'd be much more nervous against SA, Aust or India...

Even if their 'guns' fires, ours simply have to too - we are man for many a much much better side - as PB says, time to stand up

 

[vvvrulz]

I fully expect NZ to show up firing on all cylinders against SA/Ind/Aus because they know that anything less will cost them the game. That's why I'm in a way less worried about those.

The West Indies however are a funny team that spring out of nowhere sometimes.
We weren't convincing against Bangladesh and Scotland, and even Afghanistan somewhat, yet we blew away England, Sri Lanka and (for half a game) Australia.

 

[JJ]

well, if they fall over here they'll be rueing it for a LOOOONG time

 

[vvvrulz]

NZ to bat!

Gayle is back, Milne is back thankfully after McClenaghan's show last time

Talent vs temperament, this one

 

[shiznit]

I think Milne is going to have a real strong game...

From memory he burst on the scene against the windies in T20 and they couldn't handle his pace... Mind you he was bowling about 5ks faster than he has this tournament...

 

[JJ]

Thought they'd bowl if they won the toss tbh...

Still, will be interesting to see McCullum's approach, I do think can be aggressive without going quite so over the top

 

[vvvrulz]

Curtly laying it down, Taylor and Holder aren't going to make this easy I reckon
After that it should get pretty easy.

I like it from McCullum... It's a pressure day... Knockout...

Get out there and put a score on the board and turn the screws this evening with the ball and in the field...

What's the old saying... A bird in the hand is worth more than 2 in the bush...

 

[Meth]

Pathetic fielding first ball

 

[vvvrulz]

Dropped! Really lazy shot Guptill, lucky to still be there

This too, looks like we've got the usual crap Windies today

 

[shiznit]

DROPPED!!

tough chance... But they were needing that...

Still... Guptill usually gives a few chances...

 

[vvvrulz]

lol these keys to success are lame, Anderson scoring 30+ means a win? Come on.

 

[vvvrulz]

Guptill away here, those straight drives working today

When we have been winning the way we have, that's a ridiculous stat
