Check out how Twitter reacted to the Black Caps' incredible Cricket World Cup semi final win over South Africa last night.

4 days ago, Matt Henry was at a first-class match with Canterbury, he is now bowling in a World Cup Semi-Final #NZvSA pic.twitter.com/wwVCBjw6Fk

— ICC (@ICC) March 24, 2015

Trent Boult is now as good as Geoff Allott.

— Jarrod Kimber (@ajarrodkimber) March 24, 2015

Lining up for the catch. Awesome!! #NZvSA pic.twitter.com/VoNpWPE3y5

There's a guy at the ground offering to sell his rain poncho for two beers. Good deal? #NZvSA

— Dana Johannsen (@djohannsenNZ) March 24, 2015

Best entertainment during the break? Watching whether distracted security will get swept over by this #NZvSA pic.twitter.com/94A15K46NU

— Kris Shannon (@kshanz) March 24, 2015

On one channel, 1 man looking to score lots, fast. On the other, Brendon McCullum rushing to get runs on the board #TheBachelorNZ #BlackCaps

— Chris Chang (@ChrisChang) March 24, 2015

Just sit back for a second and realise that Baz just did that to one of the top 5 fast bowlers in the history of the game.

— Jimmy Neesham (@JimmyNeesh) March 24, 2015

That was ominous, Steyn slightly limping and then taken behind a black screen. Never a good sign for a horse.

— Jarrod Kimber (@ajarrodkimber) March 24, 2015

It feels like the Eden Park crowd is in bed smoking a cigarette after that whirlwind McCullum affair. #rooted #NZvSA #CWC15

— James McOnie (@JamesMcOnie) March 24, 2015

Let's take a moment to sit back right now and say, regardless of the result, what an absolute humdinger of a game.

— Jimmy Neesham (@JimmyNeesh) March 24, 2015

'Shot to the nuts and you're to blame, Morne you give Corey a bad Steyn.' #NZvSA #CWC15

— James McOnie (@JamesMcOnie) March 24, 2015

4 more! But unless we win - this is my fave moment from tonite. Not so for the lady in blue though. #NZvSA pic.twitter.com/veNF5BzghY

— Jason Reeves (@JaseReeves) March 24, 2015

Which is more dangerous to run with? RT for Ross. FAV for scissors. #NZvSA #CWC15

What an outstanding crowd, tight game and a memorable win. Proud to be a blackcap! Now let's go win this thing! pic.twitter.com/cn2KOf64Zd
