Well done Blackcaps! Can't really say much about our performance, lost our key batsmen early and no one really took the charge. Still a better team than the one who lost two consecutive matches early on. Happy with team's performance throughout so well done boys!

Congrats to Sartaj once again. :)

Wow,the Black Caps are the last team standing having outlasted South Africa and England! :)

Tim Southee made things happen with the new ball.The wicket of KP was the turning point and brought a sense of belief that we can go all the way this time.
This also puts the stunning innings from Kane into perspective.

What a great tournament it's been,thanks VC. :cheers
