Final - New Zealand v Australia (29th March)

[Athlai]

Alright, good night all.

Calls posters out for not posting in the thread while he still is.

Leaves before the end.

Classic.

You can hate him all you want, Faulkner should get it. Changed the complexion of the match in that one over.

pffft starc did that in his first over. starc should get the m.o.m m.o.s double

A great sign of how much I've enjoyed this World Cup is the fact that I'm sad that it's ending now. Rather than being too long, I've not grown tired of it yet at all.

Value is subjective and all so if others have enjoyed 2011 or 2007 more then there's nothing wrong with that, but to say that only a couple of the matches here have been close/entertaining/memorable is just flat out wrong.

I have felt that way about every world cup since 1999. Nothing tiring about it at all for me apart from the extremely slow and boring games, which of course varied by era. I love world cups and thinks it's extremely sad that it's only 10 teams the next time.

Future Melbourne Stars captain Michael Clarke just hit future Brisbane Heat coach Daniel Vettori for six

Could say the same about Starc.

Not really. 150/3 to 153/5 with Taylor and Anderson gone is what won the game.

 

[Spark]

that shot is such class

 

[Zinzan]

Not really. 150/3 to 153/5 with Taylor and Anderson gone is what won the game.

Yeah, nah, I suppose.

 

[Spark]

Lol Smithy's commentary always makes it more depressing that it already is when we're losing.

yeah sort of feel for the guy tbh. he sounds gutted, but he's remaining a thousand times more professional than, say, shane warne would be in the corresponding situation

I agree with Faulkner for MOTM but Starc ****ing up Baz the talisman of the team also contributed hugely to Australia winning.

"Should NZ really even get the trophy considering their keeper is an Aussie hahahahahahaha"

Shane Warne in the corresponding situation

Oh yeah of course. But despite that NZ looked like they'de get 260-270 after the Taylor Elliott partnership. That Taylor Anderson double wicket over was huge.

 

[Riggins]

Go get ****ed nz.

 

[Burgey]

This is so irritating..

Finding it quite invigorating actually

 

[Cabinet96]

all set for 50*(70) in the michael clarke retirement match

He outdid your expectations.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

When's NZ playing next?

England tour after IPL. MOTM Faulkner - if we finished the powerplay 170/4 at the worst the game could've been very different

 

[Flem274*]

played clarke you awesome and terrible person

 

[Riggins]

so who gets motm today? starc? johnson? faulkner?

Clarke. Lifetime achievement award and because kinda all the bowlers were great and also because I'm gassed and put $100 on it.

Yeah, good day to be an Australian fan.

Smitteh is talking about Clarkeh being at the ground one hour before the team bus even left the hotel in a positive light but "he's a bad team-mate!!!!" "out of touch with his team-mates!!!" etc
