In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
India to beat SL in the final where Tendulkar gets his 100th 100 in ODI.
I have a bad feeling Sachin will get his 100th 100 against Pakistan.
Why isnt Styris bowling?
Commentator : "These South Africans love a challenge"
Yeah right.
Yeah right.
I think it will happen in that game too.
I live in Bombay.. it'll be weird if Pak beat India on the way to the finals here.
Why would that be bad? (Unless you are a pakistan fan lol)
I hate all this omen stuff as well. Pakistan have never beaten India in a world cup match.. like ever or something. Saying all that just before this game.
I actually think India/Pakistan would have been a great final for this tournament but im not counting out Sri Lanka (or even England cos who knows).
Big hit from Du Plessis there.
Vettori's hoping he can get SA all out in the next 3 overs. He's bowling out all his 4 bowlers. 5 left for woodcock. He's got to get Styris on at some point. When did Styris stop being a regular bowler for NZ?
I think he is Pakistani, hence it would be a bad thing.
Guptil is a fine fielder
Yeah put in the edit a lil too late lol.
This world cup has had some really fantastic matches. As opposed to the last one which seemed to take like 6 months to finish.

There goes the match
Oh snap
172/9

All over, another tournament and another failure for South Africa.
South Africa have choked. Again.
Well done NZ.
Nz win, wow sa, true to form, choke yet again.
Wowser.
Well that was pathetic, a game they should've won comfortably and they managed to throw it away. Typical chokers.
Credit to New Zealand defending a low total they bowled and fielded well but were helped by some poor dismissals.

Best WC since '96?
How did they manage to lose again.
Such a good team they've fecked it up again.
Such a good team they've fecked it up again.
Most definately.
That's an incredible stat, 6 semi-finals in 10 tournaments for NZ.
I thought 99 was great as well TBH.
Why does this happen so often with South Africa? It really is baffling, with some really experienced and talented players they should not be folding so easily.
Because it comes down to more than just talent?
I saw them against India and they looked so powerful.Thing is India learnt from that defeat and came back with a better attitude against the Aussies.SA seem to think they can win just on talent alone....I'm not sure they took the Kiwis seriously enough
They are still shit though.
Now that, that was funny.
I back SL as heavy favourites tomorrow. Realistically, does anyone think England have a chance?

Being a SA fan must be frustrating as feck.
Wonder how SA feel about that?...must be extremely consoling when it's not even their(NZ) number 1 sport
If it weren't for injuries I'd say yes big one...but they have been incredibly lucky to come this far and I don't feel they've had time to gel as a team.
Bob Willis in the SkySports studio really is a grim individual. Suggested that Du Plessis would be contemplating a noose in the SA dressing room after being culpable for the run out of De Villiers.
Surely today shows that England (the underdog) have a chance.
I give them a 30% chance but I do rate SL highly, wish I'd had a few bob on them too.
Need to bat first and have a great innings from Strauss or someone.
Christ isn't he? Miserable fecker with a face for radio. Does he even enjoy being a pundit? He's be better of doing a documentary on Bob Dylan..something he does raise a smile about
