$15,000 for hitting a plastic chair. or did he have words with the umpire??? oh Jesse.
They don't mention anything but the chair.
"But he must maintain a certain level of self-control and clearly Jesse's actions went beyond what would be deemed acceptable." - Javagal Srinath, Match Ref.
He whacked a chair, I think that shows pretty good self-control from Jesse. Anyway they are ripping him off, you can pick those chairs up for $30 at Mitre 10.
Perhaps we should have a fans of Jesse fund to help him out with any future match fines. And the things that they used to get away with in the old days . . .

I'm pretty sure that Jesse doesn't drink at all anymore.
Side note: Watching him face a bowling machine is something else. He stands there nonchalantly, wearing leg guards and a trucker cap, whacking the ball around at 120kph.

It wasn't 15k it was 15% of his match fee and i doubt he got 100k for the match
that sounds more right. I think I was getting confused with Serena Williams. whoops.
I hope we can beat England! have to. Hope the weather doesn't play a part.

Nothing wrong with weather intervening tomorrow morning - if the match's abandoned we'll be in the semis.
No this is right. A draw will put us above Sri Lanka and into 2nd.
Three for me, and two for them.

To settle things.
How New Zealand can qualify
A win will obviously take them through - they might even top the group if the margin is comprehensive enough. However, New Zealand have a small chance even if they lose a low-scoring game by a very narrow margin: if they score 250 or less, and England win off the last ball (or a few balls remaining, depending on the target), New Zealand's net run rate will edge ahead of Sri Lanka's.
Form guide
(last five completed matches, most recent first)
England - WWWLL
New Zealand - WLLLW

No, it's not. Match abandoned = 1 point for each team. That puts us on 3 points, ahead of SL and SA who both have 2 points each. NRR does not enter into it. End of.

Underdogs in films make a mockery of the form book. Exhibit 1: New Zealand come to the Champions Trophy, sans superstars, sans high ICC rankings, and after being well and truly battered for more than a month in the sapping heat of Sri Lanka. They are - it is fair to say - the outsiders in this tournament.
Underdogs in the movies start out of their depth, find the happy knack of winning, and then start liking what they feel. Exhibit 2: New Zealand are outclassed by South Africa on a true Centurion pitch. Then Sri Lanka, fooled by the earlier two pitches at the Wanderers, put New Zealand in, and discover they have given their opponents first use of a batting beauty. Against England, New Zealand get a spitting beauty of a pitch, call right at the toss, and run through the batting.
Underdogs in the movies are hit by injuries, handicaps, and miseries, but every setback inspires them. Exhibit 3: New Zealand lose Jacob Oram before their campaign starts. Jesse Ryder pulls his left abductor muscle during the Sri Lanka game, but before leaving plays the kind of innings that must have led to the coining of the phrase "beware the wounded batsman". Then Daryl Tuffey, at the time looking their best bowler, breaks his hand while fielding and is ruled out for the rest of the tournament. Next up, Grant Elliott, hero of the win against England, breaks his thumb, but braves the injury to score a heroic unbeaten 75 in the semi-final.
The real villains start appearing only in the later stages of underdog movies. Exhibit 4: On paper Pakistan have everything they need to end this underdog tale, but their occasional overconfidence and exceptional play from the underdogs take New Zealand to the final.
Underdogs in the movies meet the biggest, scariest villain right at the end. Exhibit 5: It is always Australia's fate, or that of any champion team, that their excellence, consistency, their hard work, will always be seen as villainous in romantic underdog stories. We can also conveniently forget that they too lost three of their most important players - Nathan Bracken, Michael Clarke and Brad Haddin - in the lead-up to the tournament. Champions, though, don't deserve such considerations. Every good underdog story needs a mean villain, and Australia have rarely failed to oblige at world events.
If more context is needed, New Zealand have historically seen Australia as big brothers, and have always sought to bring their best against them. Moreover, New Zealand are yet to beat Australia in a tournament final, and have lost six times (tournaments with more than one final have been considered as one). Centurion will not provide them with a freak pitch either. It's all stacked up against New Zealand this time, and no self-respecting underdog story would have it any other way.
How good this story is will be known by Monday evening, or rather early on Tuesday morning in Australia and New Zealand.

Right. Just whipped over to the shops and got my supply of Red Bull for the night (total dedication in the f**king AKL weather too!!!). Got mum baking some brownies (no hash). It's all coming together. Can't wait. So excited.
Three for me, and two for them.

Saw that on Cricinfo was a great read ... I'm actually thinking we can win this, i'm also hoping that this stat doesn't hurt us:
The whole New Zealand team has scored six ODI centuries between them (Ross Taylor 3 and Brendon McCullum, Martin Guptill and Grant Elliott one each), Ponting has 28. clark007e2009-10-05 20:43:34

Right through the 90's were brilliant. Carins, Harris, Twose, McMillian, Fleming, Vettori, Astle all at the top of there game. Even the early 00's when there were those guys (minus Twose) and Bond coming through.
When you think about it, its kind of amazing how this team (the current one) has got to the final when you compare it to that of the 90's.
