Chokers gonna choke choke choke! 
BOOM!
I feel for SA that's a hard one to lose
Another chokejob from the masters.
Holy shit what a game!
WHAT. A. MATCH.
What a cracker! McCullum made the difference for NZ.
What a shot!! Incredible game.
Chokers gonna choke...
Chokers gonna choke...
Elliott gets MOTM from me though.
Unlucky again.
Nice. Rain lost us IMO. doesn't excuse the poor fielding at the end tho
That wasn't a choke. NZ have been the best team in this tournament so far and McCullum set the platform at the start.
Edit: And yeah the shit fielding.

Didn't have the bottle in that last two overs SA... enough catch and run-out opportunities for them.
Balls.
Balls.
At least the final will be played on a proper sized ground which will be interesting.
We better fecking beat India and beat NZ.

India NZ final please
Unlucky SA, think people are being a bit harsh calling this choking. Great game for the neutral, shame about the rain but both teams had their chances heading into the final overs.
What a match. FFS Saffers.
SA didnt choke at all. The choking comments are from wankers.
So fecking delighted for NZ. They have been absolutely delightful
Agreed. This wasn't choking at all. Game could have gone either way and both teams had their hilarious moments in the field.
Amazing!
Take a fyucking bow, Grant Elliot

Hope Kiwis go all the way now. Terrific side & have played superbly throughout the tournament. NZ-Aussie final please!
One issue may be that the final is the first time they'll be playing in Aussie conditions. All other games have been in NZ. Will be interesting how they contend with the bigger grounds.

They did. Inexcusable fielding efforts for a team which prides itself on it.
This was not choking but runout misses on key moments cost them in the end. That said, NZ dropped catches too earlier.
I love this NZ team. Balls of fecking steal throughout the team.
NZ dropped catches too. Game could've gone either way but NZ were a shade better on the day. SA didn't choke.
Not sure what Duminy did charging in like that. Some terrible terrible fielding, missed catches and run out opporunties in those last two overs. South Africa just couldnt hold their bottle there when it mattered, something they are normally good at.
SA threw it away from a good position. IMO, despite the rain, game was theirs to lose and they did.
Anyway, Congrats NZ. Batted well.

Dropping catches and missing run outs at important stages from a team that thrive on their fielding. What would you call it?
I can't think of a better one day world cup innings than that. Absolute top drawer from Elliot.
Delighted for them!
Delighted for them!
What a match by the way. One of the best / most intense games of ODI Cricket I've ever seen.
Wow this really fecking hurts. Gutted. Absolutely gutted.
Amazing game of cricket though.
Calling them chokers for this performance is just being lazy. They absolutely gave it all and pushed NZ all the way. Unlike their previous performances, they didn't bottle this - NZ just held their nerves better I think. Both teams had their bad moments in the field - NZ dropped a couple catches too.
Exactly. These weren't 50-50 chances, these were decent chances but in high pressure situations. When you don't take those, you get called the C word.
