CWC Final - Black Caps v England
-
I don’t believe we could win a CWC and a RWC in one year ?
I mean it’s possible ,
but I just don’t believe things could ever get that good .

Can anyone remember why the 1999 RWC didn't go ahead? Was there strike action or foot and mouth disease or something like that.
Serious concerns about the threat of Y2K
Certainly the AB computers all crashed.
Issue with the clocks. Ours stopped at half time.

Just been offered two corporate hospitality tickets for the final, at £2,500 pp + VAT.....yeah nah.
I was on viagogo soon after yesterday to see where it's at.
968 was the lowest offer ... and that was in the non-drinking family section. After that it popped up to 1600 ish.
Don't think I can justify that ... think ...

Perhaps the same reason the 99 Bledisloe never happened?

Good luck to the black caps, will be rooting hard for them.
I had expected an India-NZ final, with India winning
- but it just wasn't meant to be for India.NZ and the Windies are the guys I'd like to see win it if not India. And here we are.
After all these years of regularly making the knock-outs, I really hope the kiwis can manage to finish the job - would hate to see the pompous pommies win it.
Here's hoping Colin Munro is back in the XI and does the haka on England bowlers in the 1st 10 overs.

It's the same reason I've never bedded a supermodel
I don't want to be mean but that might not be the reason. Just speaking from experience.
Of bedding @barbarian ... ?
Either way, I still wouldn't have slept with a super model...

Oh well England will have to do, had hoped for a shot at redemption vs the Aussies.
Meanwhile the Aussie press conference after the loss to England....

As someone who watches way less cricket than rugby...have we got a realistic chance? Watching the highlights, England looked like they totally destroyed Australia.

To have a chance to win you need to make the start line. So we have that, a starter's chance

@Billy-Tell mate, remember the 2011 Rugby WC final? Well, we're France.

Can we request Joubert as umpire?

Jeepers if we lose 7-8 I’d be pretty gutted. I mean to not chase down 8 would be disappointing.

Kane is exactly 100 runs shy of equaling Sharma as the tournaments top run scorer.
its like the cricketing Gods are setting him up to score a WC winning 101*... -

Absolutely. England have a strong team but they're far from unbeatable; in between WCs we've had plenty of success against these guys. I don't think a huge amount separates the teams, they probably bat a bit deeper but it's going to come down to who holds their nerve under pressure on the day.
We're the underdogs, playing away from home, so pretty much all of that pressure is going to be on England. Don't choke guys!

Who would have fucking thought just over 4 years ago we would make 2 consecutive CWC finals.
No matter how it goes on Sunday thats pretty fucking amazing.
