Surely this makes the Kiwis outright favourites to win the World Cup now?

I think they're the favourite, yes, but this would be the exception to the rule, you'd only think this is possible 1 time out of 100 when this game is played.

England got out for 123, need to somehow pass that.

On a positive note, this could take us out of Team Devilliers side of the draw come finals.

NZ were always favourites as alll their prelim games were played in NZ. If they play Q/F and S/F in NZ will not play in OZ until GF so could be a disadvantage for them.

We only have to hope that there are no more wash outs costing us points,

Thankfully we just passed Englands 123

Which they will, their first game in Aus will be there final.

Yeah Australia have 2nd if they win the remainder of their games. Group B is so open but it looks like India 1st, RSA 2nd. 3rd could quite easily be Ireland!

Dropping those points and two weeks of no cricket wasn't ideal, then having to front up to a very good NZ outfit in NZ was always gunna be a tough assignment.

More runs from the 10th wicket partnership than the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th combined.
