Final - England v New Zealand

[Jezroy]

These two have been really good under pressure. Needs to change very soon.

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

would you back them for your side,in this situation in a world cup final?

This was around the score in 1992 when Akram took two wickets against a certain side in a World Cup final...

2 new balls - not that much reverse swing these days

 

[h_hurricane]

Very close to the best world cup final ever one could say. No clear favorites after 90 overs.

 

[straw man]

RRR no longer a challenge, we'd need it to be more like 8-8.5 to apply pressure that way.

Hey Guptill make a runout.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nervy final this. Come on boys finish it.

 

[ankitj]

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

Never has a team winning WC final while chasing has had to face >7 rpo at any stage. But they can do it.

Eng are clear favourites.

I hate to say it, but I think England are clear favourites

 

[Spintolose]

That was a hell of a test match.

I can't quite believe that was 14 years ago. One hell of a summer.

I went to the last 2 days of the OT test. Met Justin Langer's parents on the packed metro (true story).

 

[straw man]

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

Yeah NZ have used short cutters very little this innings which is strange. England used them. We used them against India. But not much this innings.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ferguson a little disappointing tbh

 

[nightprowler10]

Just a tad wide

Times have really changed though

 

[Hicheal Michael]

Need Santer to bowl a few dooras's now tbf.

 

[ajdude]

good over ferg, shame about the wide

 

[vandem]

Need 3 overs from Neesh / Santa - do this now or wait until 48-49-50?

 

[The Hutt Rec]

This is torture

 

[Spintolose]

Definitely. As I've already said...NZ v Eng was the final that real cricket fans wanted to see. Great fighters against a team that has often bottled chasing on tricky pitches.

Game on!

FFS Lords. If this was Edgbaston or Old Trafford, you wouldn't have been able to hear McCartney during that rendition of Hey Jude.
