100 off 33 balls is just incredible

Hilarious to think how good Seifert was going for his 58...also off 33 balls.

i dont know who edits these highlight's packages but they deserve to be flogged and fired out of a cannon.
The quick edits like its a fucking tiktok clip make it almost unwatchable.

I do like the thumbnail, fucking hilarious

Also how good was Finn, his last 44 runs coming from just 12 balls.

Just finished watching, holy shit. One of the best t20 innings ever. Take a bow Finn Allen.

MN5

Never in doubt. One hand on the trophy already fellas. Get in !

Hiding.

Allen got just 12 of his runs from actually running

170 is in the game. But one good innings and that's all she wrote

Finn Allen “hold my hat”

Game was basically won inside the first 10 overs when our bowlers had them 77/5
SA recovered well to post 169 but thats not likely to be a winning score. You need 200+ to be safe and you're not getting that when your top order is gone that early

Ok now that’s over let’s hope England can do everyone a massive favour and knock India out.

They’re a huge hurdle particularly at home.

Virgil

Would be nice to win something, this makes it our 6th ICC WC final since 2015
Apart from winning the Test Champion Final its been heart break and floggings really

And they also have no chance if Finn Allen bats like that. We have to go hard or go home.

I'm going to enjoy watching the highlights tonight after work

Ha - hadn't realised they were playing this last night, so a very stressless victory!

Well done to just about everyone, by the looks of things.

Virgil

Pretty funny how Rachin has gone from our batsman @ 3 struggling for runs and form to be our top wicket taker in this WC, with 11 wickets. Top wicket takers overall have 13...

MN5

Any changes needed for the team ? ( if you want to change a team that dished out such a hiding )

Neesham got a wicket but he also went for 14 an over ( next worst was McConchie with nine off his single over which he also took a couple of wickets )

They probably look at Neesham for batting insurance but I'd be tempted to bring Sodhi in

It's a good pickle for the selectors to have I guess.

Chris B.

@MN5 Neesh is really the guy you look at - he's just too hittable. Do we need him to bat at 8 if we have McConchie and Henry?

I'd probably be looking at playing Jamieson or Duffy for him.

Unless whomever we play is absolutely stacked with right handed batsmen, playing all of Santner, Rachin and Ish is probably overkill.

England you might think about it - India probably not.

KiwiMurph

I'd lean towards Duffy coming in for Neesham.

Wonderful effort Black Caps. Proteas coached talked a big game before the match. Black Caps delivered on the field.

I don’t think worrying about carrying an extra batter is relevant unless the pitch demands it. We’ve done well so far playing horses for courses.

Fielding still below par and in most cases would lose you games. 2 dropped catches early could have been costly. Bowling unit did pretty well though. In T20 doesn’t matter if someone gets their eye in like Allen and just kills it.

Spectacular opening partnership and individual effort from Allen. Hopefully has one more in him lol

Pretty much anyone over him now
His batting has never come on, pretty rare he posts a score now
And just gets hit out of the park.

Any decent batter or bowler would be better.

Hope he proves me wrong in the final!

I'm still upset that he never developed into a Stokes style all rounder at test level. a couple of hundreds and some, well, potentially good bowling in his only 12 tests proved he could have done it. I suppose we got some decent CDGH performances.

He has found his Neesh in this format I guess but he's a bit of a passenger of late.
