Final - England v New Zealand

[Uppercut]

One game ago the internet decided it was win toss and bat to win the cup.

We love making up the rules as we go along, don't we?

Haha yeah like 3 teams struggled chasing and the entire consensus was completely reversed. Damp cloudy morning and a hot sunny afternoon at Lord’s? The only reason to bat is if you think your batsmen are all irredeemably pathetic chokers.

New Zealand batting first in another World Cup final scares me a bit from a competitive final perspective Imagine if Williamson and Taylor get out in the first 10 overs.

 

[Jarquis]

What do we think NZ should be aiming for as a par score?

Bookies seem to have the line somewhere around 255

Anyone got a link to CW commentary?

 

[NUFAN]

The air is pregnant with excitement.

Letssssssss go, boys!

 

[straw man]

Gotta be some swing around here, so Nicholls at least should bat conservatively. Dunno how Guptill should approach this tbh.

Hope it's still cloudy when we bowl.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Game will be over 45 minutes from now

NZ should have bowled

 

[Jarquis]

Good cricket alround to begin with...

 

[TheJediBrah]

Guptill approaching this like a test will be right into England's hands I reckon

I suppose there's always the Dharmasena factor to contend with

The only world cup winner on the field.
