Those world-beating Kiwis

No, not another post about the outstanding RBNZ or the superior New Zealand economy. Not even about it being rugby world champions. No, this thread for anyone that watched last night’s epic win by New Zealand over South Africa in the Cricket World Cup.

It was a run chase for the ages going after 297 in 43 overs, with Brendan McCullum playing rugby with a cricket bat, an uber-clutch innings from some bloke called Grant Elliott and the usual enigmatic contribution from Daniel Vettori under the most extreme pressure imaginable.

An Aussie/Kiwi final would be titanic!
