NZ just don't beat Australia.

Excuse me but February 22nd 1992 would like to have a word with you.

Guptills gonna score a matching winning century.

Sorry, my bad

Lets hope its England/NZ final anyway.

Do you think he'll play? Or is he in for his fielding?

I think he’ll play. If they were to drop him they’d have done it by now. Plus he’s one of the few players who can suddenly play the most amazing innings.

I hope he does, tbh, if it isn't against England! He's had a mare with the bat so far.

His fielding has been decent though, that run out was amazing!

India undone by their own overconfidence

And short boundaries??

Well played New Zealand probably my 2nd favourite cricketing nation.
Looking forward to seeing the highlights later tonight

I always had a soft spot for NZ. (Patronisingly) they were the plucky little country that occasionally punched above their weight.

Then the fuckers started to beat us on a regular basis ...

(I do still like them though.)

((Though not the rugby team, of course.))

Another intriguing low score game.
Pitch and bowlers contributing to a fine match.
Run outs and superb catches
and loss of cool by Indian middle order
made the difference.

Ill be honest I see them as my first fave team.. Cricket is a strange game in that for me its the opposite to football. I see International cricket like the league in football - who is my fave team... not nation

That said - I want England to win it ofcourse.

Subtitled Sky News has just informed us :

"There will of course be booze for David Warner and Steve Smith ..."

 

[Spurslove]

NZ have some bowling attack, on a par with the Aussies

I've been saying the same thing for a while now, but somehow, they fly 'under the radar' in the eyes of the sports media. They are going to be a real handful for either England or the Aussies in Sunday's final, believe you me.

Win the toss win the game. Cmon Morgs you’ve done super well with the coin toss so far! ??
It’s just a bit of a shame that the toss seems to be a major deciding factor and advantage towards the result.

 

[Ossie'sAardvark]

The world Cup ashes.

 

[SteveH]

Starc is very different gravy and he ‘could’ be the difference IMO

 

[LeSoupeKitchen]

Balls - really needed to win that

 

[wooderz]

Feck - needed to win that. I think we could be outta this

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

If we haven't taken wickets in the first 10 overs it's going to be hard but I'm backing the boys to come good.
