The FINAL, Australia v New Zealand (THE BATTLE OF THE MITCHELLS) at the Ring of Fire, Dubai-- 11/14 Sunday (N)

[SillyCowCorner1]

The probability of a Mitchell making an impact in this game is quite high.

Anyways, a Trans-Tasman bash for the cup. When it comes to winning World Cups, it is fun for Australia...New Zealand, on the other hand, with a WTC title already in their trophy room, will look to add another...and prove that they are the greatest cricketing nation on the planet. A well-oiled machine.



All the best to both teams.

Best thing about this tourney has been the thread titles.

Just do a toss right away and give the cup to whoever wins the toss. Will save time.

You would think so, but NZ will find a way to **** up even after winning the toss against Aus.

Do Pakistan still hate us?

Conway couldn't have chosen a worse time to get injured.

And the manner in which he got injured is more stupid..

Third time lucky for NZ vs Aus after the 09 Champions Trophy and 15 World Cup

I didn't even realise this forum existed until now. Go Australia I guess. Most nondescript final ever.

hmm. tough call here on who to support. the ones we have ****ed two times away or the ones we are about to **** this month at home

I think the best outcome for all concerned is that match is some type of fiasco like the 2019 ODI World Cup except even more of a fiasco leading to the immediate and irrevocable cancellation of all future T20 world cups and internationals and the format itself.
I am holding out for T10. T20 is too much run accumulation and quick singles.
On a serious note either team could win this. Conway is not a major loss given he has been batting number 4 rather than the critical position of opener.
I will not be staying up to watch.
Another good outcome would be Glenn maxwell contracting Hepatitis C moments before the game and then passing out on the field giving new meaning to putting on a big show.
#poor attempt at humour
#required trans Tasman shot across the bows before the game.

Not quite as daft as Jesse Ryder punching a glass window in a public restroom, but equally costly from a NZ POV.

I might root for Australia. Unthinkable in past in contest of these 2 teams but NZ has given India so much hurt and pain in past 2.5 years!

 

[Daemon]

Man I can’t stop feeling bad for Shaheen. Bowls like a demon all tournament but probably blames himself for the loss now.

edit: spark’d but wtv

 

[Athlai]

Haha I think food poisoning is the traditional curse rather than the very oddly specific Hepatitis C

 

[Flem274*]

Australia's to lose.

Mike Gatting did a similar thing in 1989 when he got out in a county game. Cost him a test spot that summer iirc. Which may not have been a bad thing given how the series turned out.

This is completely separate from the game, but ring of fire is a spectacular name for a cricket ground that’s hosting a T20 final.
