Final - England v New Zealand

[Zinzan]

Was just about to post the same. I felt pretty confident at the innings break of the semi. Today I just feel deflated.

Can't say I felt confident half time in the semi, nor today. 25-30 short.

Clarke been pretty good on comms today imo.

Agree actually. Calmed down a bit and offered some insight on how his Aussie team dealt with similar pressure to this England team four years ago.

Time will tell, but is the pitch going to look entirely differently when England bat?

Probably.

What you guys think about the toss should New Zealand have bowled 1st there was early movement for the England fast medium bowlers, I would have wanted Henry and Boult to be able to use those conditions they can be deadly in taking wickets early.

How did people find the youtube feed? Any big audio problems?

Apart from the delay, no real issues

The worst innings I have ever seen.

And I've seen myself bat on video.

Haha the last 15 overs were a load of crap.

This is definitely not the semifinal pitch. NZ are 40 short surely.

Hope NZ doesn't reach the final of 2023 WC. Their batting is making a mockery of the biggest match twice in a row. Feel bad for their awesome bowling, who will be helpless today tbh.

Looked very much like a bowl-first wicket but having seen that death batting I can see why KW didn’t fancy chasing.

Initial feeling is that NZ haven’t quite got enough, it never looked like the type of pitch/conditions where 300 is a minimum but I certainly feel that they’re maybe 30 runs short from a really competitive total. This of course could change hugely with a special opening spell from Trent Boult! England have imploded before, really hope today isn’t one of those occasions!
