Former New Zealand skipper Stephen Fleming has said that there is a ‘dream-like euphoria’ mixed with a ‘pinch-me’ feeling of ‘disbelief’ throughout the nation after the Black Caps beat South Africa to reach the World Cup final.
He said that he was in a ‘dream state’ after New Zealand sealed their place in the final following a four-wicket win in an electrifying semifinal against South Africa at Eden Park. But he admitted that the ‘wall-to-wall’ media coverage of the morning after the night was enough to convince him that it was not, and that was a ‘relief’.
But, the former skipper claimed that given the Black Caps’ success in winning their way through to Melbourne and Sunday’s final, has finally smashed that World Cup ‘glass ceiling’ by banishing all the years of semifinal heartaches, Stuff.co.nz reported. Fleming, who was in charge of the 1999 and 2007 semifinal exits, said the ‘freedom and quality’ with which New Zealand are playing with ‘warms the heart’.
