If NZ plays Australia in the semi it will be hosted by whoever qualifies highest.

What really? I have tickets to the NZ semifinal and I'm gonna be pissed off if they're playing in Australia instead. Would this require some really bizarre results to eventuate?

Australia finishes 1st, NZ 3rd in pool or Aus 2nd, NZ 4th.

Thanks, that's what I was trying to work out. Shouldn't happen unless we lose to England.

Edit: or Scotland

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
If NZ gently caress this up.... :laffo:

This is the plan. Play poo poo and put the top sides off guard so we can sneak thru to the semis like normal and then boom.

Yeah, small totals mess with the mind a bit and cause a bit of batting silliness. Not that there was ever any chance they wouldn't chase it down
