2015 ICC Cricket World Cup. Australia/New Zealand

What will the target be if New Zealand only bat for 20 overs?

Now 43 overs a side. Seems like NZ having a bit of fortune there.

300 in 43overs is chasable here

Will it be 300 though? I’m not clear what will happen here run wise.
Be a good chase.

298 it is off 43.

I’ll be an unhappy camper if New Zealand end up between 281 and 298

Looked like they were trying for them in 20 overs with McCullum in.

A short life, but a merry one.

This is so going to the wire.

Nothing in it, they are so well-matched.

It’s a nailbiter, but NZ are looking good for it. More’s the pity.

Win or lose, neither side have anything to be ashamed of.

South Africa have some fielding to be ashamed of, that’s for sure.

We’ll keep Grant Elliott if you don’t mind South Africa.

What a game.

We’re in the Finals for the first time ever! That was not good for the heart rate, terrifying last over. I can hear the fireworks from here.

Congratulations NZ. Well done. Just one more to go.

RSA, what can I say? It won’t be a WC without a South African choke.

I got sweaty just reading the CricInfo text commentary. Goodonya Kiwis.

NZ first world cup final. Daily Mails first non bullshit story.. And Saffers have to wear the chokers tag for four more years. All in all a great day for sports.

That wasn’t what I’d call a choke.

Indeed. New Zealand just wouldn’t be denied. Still it will be called a choke by many. Until they actually win a big game at the World Cup, the tag is not going away.
