Final - New Zealand v Australia (29th March)

[Contra]

300 hasn't ever been chased at the MCG right? Just gotta cross that mark and bowl well.

Not saying people in general don't care about Imran because palpably millions do....Dan was questioning the relevance of Immy pics in this thread today.

I was just questioning his use of absolute statements. Not the substance of what he was saying

Anyhow, really want the kiwis to win it for Crowe. Felt so sad reading this on cricbuzz

A pretty poignant moment on TV as Martin Crowe is seen chatting to Brendon McCullum. Just then, Martin Guptill walks in and shakes Crowe's hand. Crowe gives him a hug and suddenly becomes emotional. Crowe earlier had written a heartfelt letter to the Black Caps. Ian Smith hopes that it isn't Crowe's last game that he watches live. We all hope the same. For the uninitiated Crowe is battling with lymphoma and his health is deteriorating.

Nope barely a movement.

Not sure history is such a factor with the way ODI cricket has changed in the last 12-18 months..although huge advantage to bat first

Everything's easy from a neutral's POV =)

Williamson and Elliott are listed as all-rounders?

Dammit, thought the game started at 4. My daughter may be awake from her nap in half an hour.

Should have gone to a pub.

don't get why you're surprised about elliott?

 

[Zinzan]

Wtf? Did I miss the coverage of the toss or are they delaying that coverage until just before kickoff like they have been doing?

 

[weldone]

I believe both Williamson and Taylor have the game to shine against this attack and in this ground. Come on guys, do it for Crowe!

NZ won the toss and elected to bat first. The toss has been covered already.

I'm really surprised the poll favours NZ. I know we've played well but playing Oz at home? Surely Oz is favourite.

the poll indicates which team people want to win as opposite which one is the favs to win.

 

[Zinzan]
