Final - England v New Zealand

[White Ball]

One quick wicket now would change thins especially if it’s Butler

 

[Spintolose]

This is tense. I love it.

Super over anyone? ?

 

[ImpatientLime]

Yeah, I'm afraid its getting a bit out of reach now.

lol

 

[straw man]

In England's favour now.

Boult and Ferguson haven't been as good with the slower balls and cutters as England's bowlers.

Don't know how but need to find a wicket.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Not bowling your main spinner when he just tied India in knots in the last game. ?*

 

[Malcolm]

At least a wicket required in the next two overs or game over for NZ.

 

[andruid]

I haven't felt like this since edgbaston 2005

That was a hell of a test match.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Been a good partnership but they have to go and finish it now.

 

[ImpatientLime]

81 off 68 in a WC final on a very tough pitch with no recognised batsman left after these 2 is not out of reach for nz

this is 50-50

 

[ImpatientLime]

england still have to find another gear to win at some point

 

[Meridio]

Neeeeeed a wicket now. These two looking comfortable.

 

[thundaboult]

going to need a miracle now to win.

 

[Garson007]

Just can't see England lose from here. Too easy out there.

 

[Spintolose]

England finally back in the game at 163-4

A wicket and it all changes though....into the bowlers coming in on a sticky wicket with the RR climbing.

Game still on.

Woakes and Rashid both have 10 FC centuries. Plunkett can hit.

Yeah but it's a WC final - really you need the batsmen to do it, pressure's too high. Plus the pitch isn't suited to lower order slogging saving the day.

 

[GIMH]

Brilliant final. Feel a bit sick here. But we can do this.

 

[ankitj]

Some guts to play that scoop shot with world cup on the line. I got reminded of Gatting.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

I’ve never seen slow cutters jump and kick so much. England used them almost every ball in the last 10 overs. NZ should do the same and see if they can knock Eng off their rhythm
