This game is already over
NZ will go do well to get 225 runs let alone sniff 250 runs
I think the Kiwi based TSF members can have an early night
Spot on as always.
You keep thinking of me how sweet of you
I was accurate in 2 out of my 3 prediction eh....
Indians were in celebration mode having gone for a night out
You might have also caught later messages where I stated it would take a fecking miracle for NZ to win
Miracles do happen

Just a friendly. The other teams are building for 2023.
Good joke man
Only a different sport and context & you're spot on
This is mildly amusing
Amount of folks here who have me on their mind

So go England?
Surely better off playing a side that hasn't been there, done that before? Would be bloody nice to beat Aus in the final though...
Fair point but do you want to be playing the home side who happen to be the top ranked team also...?

@Bovidae nope I reckon we are a better chance against Aus. More familiar opposition and we know our bowling plans work against them. Just a matter of getting our batting right (tough ask but at least we know what we need to do)
Whoever it is they will know we have massive confidence going in. Against the odds, defended a relatively low score, the Kane and Taylor factor, the Boult factor, our fielding. We have a few chinks in the armour no doubt, but we sent a loud message to the other two sides today.

Of any team in world cricket, I reckon home ground advantage would probably be least in favour of England.

Perhaps but I reckon there’s a bit of the “destiny” factor about England if we play them in a World Cup final. For mine, it’s better the devil you know - we play Aus lots, have plans that work against them and, in particular, we know they work at Lord’s
-
@Bones completely understandable but you need to look at this England team in isolation as they are completely un-England-like. So, I reckon there’s little we can draw on from past experiences against them, whereas we have a good enough body of work against Aus - both historically and recently - to feel more confident about playing Aus

And then they cheat to win. Perfect ploy, nobody would be expecting it!

Wow, cricket!
Amazing moment for NZ cricket and the country as a whole.
Can't help thinking how proud Martin Crowe would be. Today is another part of the great man's legacy:
The greatest time of our lives
Whatever happens, the Australia-New Zealand World Cup final at the MCG will be the most divine fun
