Final | England vs Pakistan | Melbourne, 13 November 2022

[thierry henry]

Very brave showing from Sam ‘Not quite Super Smash level’ Curran, of Auckland

If it rains and they can't get 10 overs in, does this mean the game is null and void, or do England restart at their position before the rain hits?

This is a worse batting display from Pakistan than the 1999 world cup final against Australia for me

I think they got more here in 20 overs tbh

 

[straw man]

Can someone tell me what Curran's figures were and whether this game was important?

Thanks.

I've double checked and it was 3/12.

But no this game is not important.

 

[Prince EWS]

I was 3-12 from 4 overs mate

Thank you.

 

[straw man]

Melbourne rain could be hilarious tonight

Come back tomorrow and start again?

Exceptional from England - ours to lose now unless rain comes.

Still.need to be watchful but a solid start will see us through.

 

[subshakerz]

I feel for Pakistani fans they love there cricket and to see a batting display like this will be heartache for them

I would have preferred Pakistan lost in the semis than this pathetic display.

 

[DriveClub]

England can get to the target in singles

 

[sledger]

Yeah the midgets will need to bowl well here if they are to have any chance

 

[slippy888]

Come back tomorrow and start again?

No they resume the game

 

[trundler]

A real demonstration of Murphy's Law

 

[sledger]

No they resume the game

Make a comparison thread please

 

[DriveClub]

Really wanted to see someone other than the big 3 win a world cup for a change

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

SCurran is legit the player of the tournament right?

 

[DriveClub]

India at the final would've really helped pakistan batters with their array of trundlers

 

[slippy888]

I don't think Pakistan bowlers have ever seen a batsman like Butter at international level

 

[theegyptian]

Think this could be a close one. Enough in the pitch to cause England issues especially with the longer boundaries that will confuse the middle order bats. Hopefully England win the game in the powerplay.

 

[duffer]

No they resume the game

Unreal

Theoretically that could happen
