May I just say that I was mocked by many when I said, several weeks ago now, that I thought Australia would be in the final of the champions' trophy. It's true I was certian we would playing South Africa (and that we would lose, incidentally) but still ...
I'm not sure we haven't got by on a fair amount of luck, but that's cricket, right? We are the only team from group A who didn't completely flatten the Windies and that in itself might mean we are damn lucky to be in the final.
But in the final we are.
So there.
And to face New Zealand - what a fantastic match that should be. We should win, but New Zealand have been surprisingly good and I wouldn't want the Aussies to go out there tomorrow in a typically Ponting over-confident manner. If they do, they might just get a rude shock.
I will be praying in the morning, just in case.

We should never underestimate the Kiwis. They have always been dark horses since I began watching cricket about 15 years ago. They sneak up from behind and surprise other teams...let's hope we win. Fingers crossed.
Sid I'm supporting the Kiwis! :)
As Purna says mate....
I too am supporting the Kiwis.........
I can understand that - if it were any team other than my own, I would be supporting the under dog, too.
