Slippy doesn't give 2 hoots for any negative comments about him. He only posts, doesn't respond or engage

So far better than most of us...

slippy actually posting in existing threads instead of just creating new ones was a game changer.

What a win, full credit NZ. Officially a brilliant World Cup now with a lesser fancied team in Final.

So you want to chop up and change one of the best bowling units for the off chance Southee might hit a few 6s something Boult is more than capable of doing. Dumb.

All I am saying is they will need the batting depth. It will be a batting shootout. Jadeja nearly pulled a rabbit out of the hat for India yesterday. NZ will need someone similar.

Australia made 250 despite their worst bowling performance. Chances are they will make 300+ this time. On second thoughts, Henry can land a few hits so he should stay. They should consider Southee instead of Boult/Santner. Boult is one of the best but largely ineffective against Aus anyway and Santner will be rendered useless on a flat bed. I'm leaning towards Southee for Boult because Santner can also hit a few lusty blows.

this post is even dumber than mohammad amir taking money for no balls

Come on NZ. Go win the whole thing!!

Woops, wrong thread, and I can't delete my posts for some reason.

Even if we don't win at Lord's, there should be a national monument erected to Kane on our return. I can't even fathom how he consistently performs with the weight of this side on his shoulders. His captaincy has been outstanding as well. An absolute genius.

Guptill desperately needs to come good in the final. You can't rely on a 2 man batting line up, they're both due a failure at some point. England had weaknesses too but they're on a roll at the moment. NZ will need a decent innings from an opener.

Yeah, good luck with that. If Guptill gets more than 20 with a strike rate of more than 50, I'll eat my hat.

I'm looking into all legal avenues as we speak, going to get in touch with Burgey to explore available options. Will keep you updated

Nicholls played a solid knock in the context of the match. Tell Guptill to just smash. Hope Taylor comes in with the platform set for once and can score freely.

That would be quite the predicament for Burgey. His fervent nationalism would be gutted but hey, everyone knows lawyers have no morals.

Is it too late to bring back Brendon McCullum?

Would that really improve matters since he bombed it last time?
