I hope we don't hear the 'chocking' tag if NZ win this.

I have it on standby... it helps me deal with our pathetic efforts to know there is possibly another team allergic to winning major tournaments

[yuppie]

Cricinfo notes that a tie would send NZ through. That cant happen to SA again can it......

That missed run out could be costly.....

I didn't think when D/L was involved there could be a tie as SA didn't actually score 297 and D/L sets an artificial target to win

[dan08]

D/L par score is a tie which is why teams must always score one more than that.

[Gingerfinch]

The Kiwi's can smell the final. The saffers need wickets and quick.

but this isn't a par score situation , that's only when the second innings is interrupted

[yuppie]

Good over for NZ. They are pacing this well.

SA need wickets. Last over of the power play

Anderson could munch this with 4 overs to spare if he attacks, South Africa need a hat-trick, not a wicket

[yuppie]

Tahir not got his line or length so far in this over

[rich1uk]

required rate under 8 now

SA need a couple of tight overs, preferably with wickets

[yuppie]

If the scores get close, then NZ will start to feel the pressure. Still a bit to go in this

[hopeforthebest]

Nervous over from Tahir makes it very interesting.
