The FINAL, Australia v New Zealand (THE BATTLE OF THE MITCHELLS) at the Ring of Fire, Dubai-- 11/14 Sunday (N)

This has been some exhibition of hitting half volleys

 

[straw man]

India v New Zealand (WTC FINAL, replay-- NAHHHHH) at the Ring of Fire, Dubai, 10/31 Sunday (N)-- Match #28, Group 2

I know Pant is a genius and voice of a generation, but I swear 8/10 times I see him bat he looks absolutely awful

Your idea of a fine red ball bowler is long hops and full tosses from a leg spinner who doesn’t know how to bowl a leg break

In the brief interactions I’ve had with you I’m not convinced you’ve watched a single ball of cricket

This is a very odd thing to go warmongering about. Especially to someone who has been a good poster all tournament.

 

[Spark]

hahaha a bit early to run on the field guys

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Congrats Australia. Too good

We've not bowled that many half volleys tbh. We've bowled a lot of back-of-a-length angling down leg, and a lot of long hops angling down leg. And some wide long hops from Sodhi

You can't show up in a final with 4 out of 5 bowlers misfiring. Kiwis why do you always choke against the Aussies?
Anyway, bye bye Kiwis and congrats to Aus. And Brilliant knock from KW when it mattered but your bowlers ruined all your efforts.
P.S. even if god comes down to earth and tells me so, fact is Southee can't bowl death overs. ICC rankings can go to h#@.

Maybe I was a bit mean. I don’t live here so I miss the memos on who I’m supposed to like

That was accidentally ambiguous, was supposed to be a snide comment about all the shots that half-volleyed to our fielders

 

[sunilz]

Congrats Australia. Well played.
@Burgey
Say sorry to David Warner.

Yup, this. Sort of the bowling equivalent of the 2015 WC final. Boult apart, the others didn’t turn up as you’d expect the most economical bowling side in the tournament to do. Shame because Williamson’s innings really lit up the game in the first half.

Congrats Australia, guess it was a matter of time before this was added to the cabinet.

 

[Burgey]

Comprehensive win that. Huge surprise to me. Didn’t expect them to get out of the group.

Great stuff MMarsh. So good to see this moment for him after the trashing he’s copped over his career. Never doubted him.

hard lines Kiwis. Terrific team and Williamson a crazy knock in a losing side. Their fans on here are awesome too.

 

[thierry henry]

ahhhhh well luckily T20 doesn’t matter

Well this is a bizzare interlude to this depressing af match.

I don't remember ever having had an interaction with you, which is curious, because if you're this much of a ****wit all the time I imagine it would have stuck in the memory!

Nevertheless, now that we've had this specific interaction, let's try and make sure in future you contain this brand of unprovoked aggro to where it belongs, which is into a pillow clamped over your face. There's a good lad. Now **** off. ?

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Well done Australia, way too good today and our poor performances against you continue

Special congrats to a Marsh for finally doing something good

Oh so you actually are a ****wit

 

[honestbharani]

very happy for Aus and esp. Warner, after the way he was treated at SRH.


Karma for KW unfortunately for being there when they treated Warner like that.


I trusted Aus and SL to be the dark horses for this WC. The dew, the conditions and facing the two teams Aus will WANT to face in every KO game ever definitely helped but Australia have played like champions. Very well done.

Hard luck for KW and the kiwis. But keeping a bowler who made a career out of somehow bowling long hops that got wickets was gonna bite them sometime. They need to regroup and restrategize for T20s. The side I saw today is honestly not sustainable if they wanna win tourneys.

 

[Burgey]

Actually, what a **** weekend for NZ sport, give the ABs lost to Ireland of all sides as well

“what does this mean for the nation?”
Fmd Bish, we win WCs for fun. It’s just another day here.

 

[Kirkut]

This loss should fire up the kiwis for the all important Paytm series!!!!

 

[Calm_profit]

Australia has become the fifth country to win the WC,WT20 and champions trophy.

 

[trundler]

Welp congratulations Aussies. Pretty unlikely which must make it all the sweeter.
