Hey, hey, I didn't even realise we had a big game today and my outright pick has smashed Australia to bits, title defence all in tatters now... good news for my Kiwi pick, but bad news for guys like CLS63 whom I still recall backed Australia.
First win to break their 11 year hoodoo against their antipodean neighbours, what a way to do it (I can't understand scores but I can read reports haha).
Anyone else has tickets still riding on this tournament?
Unfortunately I believed in Australia due to their being the host country. Frankly, I didn't even dream of them losing against New Zealand. The 9.80 odd given to New Zealand seems much better to me now.

In gambling, even if you always support the big team, you have to face big losses. Sometimes you have to take risks. However, New Zealand was not such a team that the match would be one-sided especially in favor of Australia. New Zealand performed brilliantly in the last match. They were way ahead of their run rate of 64 with 4 overs which keep Australia in a tough equation.
