    My head says England will win the World Cup..but heart wants NZ, common sense says England skipper Eion Morgan will lift the World Cup..

    no such thing as commonsense when it comes to WC Finals, go with your heart not your head!

    I tipped against NZ in the SF. I have done the same for the final. Hoping for similar result ๐Ÿ™

    I've changed my tune

    Bowl first, jag an early one or two, and let the pressure and expectation do the rest

    I've had a couple of beers. I've now cracked a ripper of a bottle of red. Could be a great night

    I'm employing my strategy from the last two RWCs. Keep an unopened Steinie Pure in the fridge for fulltime.

    I'm swinging wildly between the two, can't make my mind up. Setting them a decent total (270+) would have them under all sorts of pressure, but the first 10 would be stressful as hell.

    Then again if Boult and Henry get a couple early there's every chance they'll crumble.

    Still 1 hour 20 to go.... Faaarrkk.

    Timmy to be a late call-up and getting 7 wickets? ๐Ÿ˜€

    I'd be inclined to bowl first as you get two chances, so to speak.

    How has the wicket played? If it played like a road then bat first. If there is a chance of something for the bowlers in the morning then bowl first

    I've hit 3/3 top run scorer bets this cwc. Have back guppy. You should probably all jump on that.

    I see you will be getting an early night. NO CRICKET FOR YOU.

    Win toss - bat!

    Ignore the English weather and the greenness of the pitch.

    Don't let England dictate the tempo.

    We definitely should bowl if we win the toss.

    This is an automated response. Magpie_In_Aus can't be reached right now as he is in a deep slumber and can only be awoken by a world cup victory. Please try again tomorrow.

    Whatever happens tonight, it has been a glorious few days as a cricket tragic. Dare to dream!

    I do tend to agree but Archer scares me.

    Bowl. Have Henry and Boult rip out Ranga 1 and that fluffybunny Roy, then trap Ranga 2 at the non striker's end while his team collapses around him
