Sam Heather is still buzzing from the Black Caps' sensational semifinal win over India in Manchester.
Heather, a 38-year-old from Wellington living in London, is as big of a Black Caps fan as there is and has watched his beloved Kiwi side five times across the UK during the World Cup.
He was there when Kane Williamson led New Zealand to victory against South Africa in Birmingham ("I tell you what when Kane hit that six we were in retches"), when Trent Boult claimed a hat-trick against Australia at Lord's, and witnessed history first hand when the Black Caps upset India at Old Trafford to make their second-straight World Cup final.
"I've never seen anything like it before in my life," Heather says about witnessing the Indian top order collapse in front of his eyes. "When we came back out [on the second day], I think the Indians came out with a bit of arrogance. We came out with the bowling performance of the World Cup. And that first 15 overs was probably something to behold.
"It was so good to watch. The Indian fans around me didn't really know what hit them."
