Final - New Zealand v Australia (29th March)

[vic_orthdox]

How many events in history have packed out the MCG? Does the AFL manage it?

Maybe twice a year?

 

[Howsie]

Lol, Chappell should be feeling more of a goose than usual given prior to the NZ/SA game he reportedly said "No team with Grant Elliott in it deserves to play in the final".

Haha. Link?

 

[Zinzan]

AUS commentators saying only 7 kiwi players have seen the ground, so we have 4 Grant Elliot now?

I like how they Aussie's conveniently ignored Wellington's stadium in their comparison with the MCG and only used Eden Park, like it's the only cricket ground NZ have ever played on. I suppose it wouldn't be such an beat-up if they did.

 

[weldone]

Same. Given it's already past 3am and I haven't slept yet, I'll no doubt need them.

I haven't slept yet, too. ...was watching a movie with wifey and suddenly realised it's 2:30 am - so no point sleeping

chill boys. savour the taste we're going to dish out then feast on the tears.

 

[Burgey]

Oh OK..........it's early tbf.

Edit:

I should have paid more attention to who posted that, but I do get the impression it is view shared by a lot of (less informed) people because it has been so true of most NZ sides throughout my time of watching cricket. But yeah, Burgey..........I should have known better.

All good mate.

I'm too happy after the boys' win this morning to worry about the WC final.

Good luck to both teams. Hope all the supporters get a great game

I saw the herald diagram you posted the other day, MCG is longer by 20m square side, but the diagram looks identical? I was confused when I saw it on NZHerald the first time.

Mark Taylor suggesting that Clarke should try Arun Finch against McCullum.

 

[smash84]

You agree with him on everything don't ya?

On most stuff. Not everything I suppose.

The packed MCG is such an awe inspiring sight. Might as well post some pics of Imran at the MCG while I can

At the MCG

Go to 3.04 into that video for the Chappell reference about Elliott.

 

[Dan]

Echoing Phlegm's sentiments, congrats to Burgeinho.

And Smali, please don't spam Imran Khan pics, nobody cares.

Mark Taylor is a Joe Pesci clone

He is our premier all rounder.

Checking in, boys. Ready for a big one.

Yeah, Wellington is significantly longer straight than the MCG, but shorter square. There's not that much in it overall.

 

[jonbrooks]

40 minutes to go!

Energy drinks? Jeeze, I'm looking though the pantry for green tea, need to calm the ** down. lol

I slept 4 hours last night and the match starts at 10:30pm my time. No way I'm staying up past the first innings without consuming some serious caffeine.
