Final - England v New Zealand

[flibbertyjibber]

Great display by England. Now go win it Roy, Bairstow and co.

 

[ajdude]

losing Plunkett for the next world cup will be massive.

he going to the clippers too?

 

[91Jmay]

We've done really well with the ball but think NZ got to the lowerbound of their target and will feel well in the game. First 10 feels so crucial, NZ probably will want 2 down. I'd take 30-1 if you gave it to me now.

WTF is Santner doing there

 

[CM Punk]

Need to take 3-4 wickets early.

 

[trundler]

That's ****ing horrible. Grrr.

 

[Neil Young]

His 60 off 47 balls in the run chase against South Africa was pretty fantastic.

Indeed. But one innings from 7 (or whatever it was) does't really wash for mine. And his bowling hasn't been up to much. We've been carrying him for the most part.

 

[andmark]

Thanks for the commentary lads.

 

[Zinzan]

Feels 25 short, but still it's a total.

NZ have become really weak against the full-toss, even KW can't seem to hit them.

 

[slippy888]

New Zealand seem over confident here because of last game what they did 240 does not seem enough here

 

[Athlai]

Pressure is a funny thing, a lot will be riding on Boult and Henry's first spell

 

[artvandalay]

Yea awful finish to the innings. Hitting full.tosses to the fielders, getting bowled off them and ducking bouncers at the death. icing in this world cup in a nutshell.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Felt like there was a lot of hittable stuff in the last 10 which NZ couldn't get a hold of.

 

[Burner]

Santner probably thought that if he ducked so far down the ump will give that a wide. A few more seconds and he'd have been underground

 

[trundler]

Sigh. This is the end of my optimism, lads. Roy and Bairstow show. If England lose this will be an incredibly choke - in the true sense of the word.

 

[PikeyB]

Honours even . I think New Zealand are still well in this match ...they've been defending feck all throughout the tournament .

Not even sure if I can even handle the first 10 overs of the England reply . My nerves are shot .

 

[slippy888]

Going to need a Boult special here for him to match his cricketing hero Wasim Akram and go down a legend a world cup winner.

 

[morgieb]

First ten overs are key, needless to say.

 

[Burner]

NZ are not defending this

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Honours even . I think New Zealand are still well in this match ...they've been defending feck all throughout the tournament .

We did that like once.

 

[Pothas]

Root.
