If it was Warne that said that don't bother thinking about it. He was talking complete bollocks about the pitch too

To be honest I did not catch whom had said that. It may have been Warne.

I doubt even the yarpies can lose this from here.

To add to their WC woes, they could go out due to weather.

If NZ beat WI, they play RSA at Eden Park. Long range weather is not good and if both days are rained out, the team with the higher pool play seeding moves onto the final. I'm not wishing it on them but knowing their WC luck, it wouldn't be a surprise if it happened...

Sa v Australia final. We can't play spin.

Tahir and Duminy won't get it turning at the garden. B-Mac will send them to all parts. More worried about coping with a fired up Steyn or Morkel.

Three for me, and two for them.

I think that we have shown in the last 12 months that we CAN play spin. McCullum concerns me while playing it so he would need to chance his approach if we saw spin early.

Oh crap. 

Gayle didn't show up for training in Wellington...this means he'll get told off by the Windies management and then go apesh!t with the bat to prove he's too cool for practice.

That drop, right there, will probably be the turning point. Not just in this game, but in the whole World Cup. Aussie pricks.

Was just thinking that myself.  Shame, that bowling deserved a wicket.

Ugh. I think this has been more annoying than if the Aussies had just steamrolled them. Well, hopefully India smash Aus in the semi. I really want them to miss out on the home final.

Very disappointing.  So many dislikeables in the Australian team.  How dare Watson talk back to Wahab.

Riaz's spell to Watson was first class chin music. The favourites have won there quarter finals, so far....

How happy are the bookies? The catch that should have been taken. Felt for the bowler.
