Now we just need the kiwis to knock India out. Will the BCCI demand that the finals be expanded to 6 teams if their boys miss out this time?

Australia into the T20 Semi-Finals with Hazelwood taking 4 wickets (also 39 runs off his 4 overs) and Warner 89 not out in the run chase for an 8 wicket win.

Yeah great news about India missing out :lol:

Wouldn't be surprised if NZ avenge their farcical ODI World Cup "loss" to Eng.

Australia are pretenders in T20, if we somehow jag it it will be a clayton's trophy.

Only real challenge we've had was England and we got smacked

Pakistan are hot and cold in semis, so wouldn't be surprised to see them **** the bed.

We'd get slapped in the final by either NZ or England

Called it!

And what's more, NZ stand to be number one in both tests and T20 and ODIs :shock:

Was a supreme clutch t20 knock from Neesham tbh. Mitchell was great but Neesham turned the game around.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.

Gotta say, with Khawaja's form in the domestics at the moment it would be a joke if he missed out in lieu of Harris

Not sure I agree, he was pretty disappointing at times for a senior player but he deserves another go - I mean how many did Shaun Marsh get?

We've now made the final of the last 3 ICC events. Lost(well we didn't actually lose the game)the ODI wc because of farcical rules.
Won the world test championship
And now in the final of the T20 world cup.

That's a pretty good argument there to be known as the best all round cricket side in the world. I never thought that'd be a possibility.

Absolutely. We were in a massive hole before Neesham went bang. Mitchell was very scratchy before that. Finished it off superbly well though once Neesham got out

Looking at the scorecard, Wade and Stoinis put on 80 in about 6 and a half overs. That's pretty damn good. However that kiwi bowling attack is stronger than Pakistan.

Umm... the Pakistan attack was 1 of the better ones at the tournament... they choked!

Massive kudos to Stoinis. I completely wrote him off as a middle order player. Top stuff.

I have no faith in our T20 side, but remember what we did to the Kiwi's the last time we faced them in a final...
