Final - New Zealand v Australia (29th March)

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Can NZ stop losing wickets so I don't have to watch any more of these atrocious Progressive Insurance ads?

 

[Flem274*]

yeah ok we need to bottle this up and take it out on them when we bowl

 

[weldone]

Oh, all on Taylor now really....

Guptill must be cursing himself.

 

[Dan]

so this is getting a tad one-sided

That's what everyone said at Eden Park, no? Both teams have to bat etc.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

This could be a bit of an anti climax after all the hype.

 

[Spikey]

Ronchi is due a good innings against NSW tbf

 

[Swingpanzee]

What. The. ****.


This is bizarre. Eden Park-like dismissals all over again.

That means an Eden Park like finish again!

Not as good as 7th ODI

 

[Spark]

in fairness, johnson has bowled probably his best spell of the entire summer

 

[Antihippy]

It's disappointing because these are all soft dismissals really. Good bowling but you'd expect that at this level.

 

[NUFAN]

I would bring Starc back know btw for that random 2 over spell at Elliott.

 

[morgieb]

haddin probably won't play in the test series

And it would be a huge mistake if Guptill did IMO.

EDIT: I should point out that was still a ****ty move by Haddin.

 

[robbypark]

So, so, so soft.

Looking grim now.

NZ not out of this yet tho. Runs on the board and everything.

Yeah no, it's over.

 

[artvandalay]

Knew Saf should have made the final. Nzl have **** themselves so far.

 

[Dan]

Luggage gonna be cool under pressure here.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I think it's game over tbh. Kane was the primary cake. They're going to have to rely on a magic Boult spell.

 

[eroticfishcake]

Johnson has come back into form after an iffy test series

 

[viriya]

Goddammit another Aussie WC win..

**** this.

 

[smash84]

ok, time to head to bed

 

[Zinzan]

Well done Australia...way too much class so far. But massively disappointed in Guppy and Kane with such unnecessary dismissals after having done the hard work.

Such a shame that after all this build-up, the fun is nearly all over.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Elliott played that first ball so awkwardly... not looking good.
