CWC Final - Black Caps v England

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

I actually want us to bowl first - that way we can put their batsmen under pressure - also we haven't unleashed Lockie on them yet - I'd rather have us chase a known target than try and set one

Can’t wait for 9.30pm. Feel like a cat on a hot tin roof with anticipation, and I’m 19,000kms away. Can only imagine how much sleep some of the players didn’t get overnight...

It rained so hard at about 5am it woke me up! Clear now but hearing start might be delayed

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 🙏

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

Green deck, late rain, cloudy. Bowl first

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

No Quarter

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.

Youse guys jeez - our openers need to crack on with a blinder or else we are toast.

Bovidae

Timmy to be a late call-up and getting 7 wickets?

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

Jailbreak7

Weather is iffy today, it is drizzling early on. That may help us.

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

Here’s a thought, it could help England too....

No Quarter

Play slightly delayed, scheduled to start at 9.45. toss at 9.15.

Fucking England and its shitty weather.

Chris B.

Win toss - bat!

Ignore the English weather and the greenness of the pitch.

Don't let England dictate the tempo.

ACT Crusader

We definitely should bowl if we win the toss.
