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.
Came here to ask the same thing. Was surpised to see how easily England crushed Australia, they looked really good.
Realistically, on current form, England probably win three times out of four.
I don't think we can afford to let them set their own tempo - so my prescription for victory is to win the toss and bat. Then we need our openers - and particularly Gup, Gup, Guppy - to finally come to the party.
If, by chance, Nicholls is injured enough that he can't play, I think we should push Latham up to open and bring Blundell in to keep and bat six. Woakes has Munro's number, so it's mainly wishful thinking and rolling the dice way too far to think both Guppy and Munro will suddenly come good.
Post 280+ and grab a couple of early wickets and let the pressure carry England into oblivion!

Right. Annual leave booked for Monday morning. Coffee supplies stocked up for Sunday night. Preparations well underway.
GO THE BLACK CAPS!
PJ's, hot chocolate and melatonin all on the way to @booboo as well. We'll walk this one (well I don't think we will, but looking forward to it).
Do we have any injuries? Ferg seemed fine in the semi and we will need him.

Leave signed off, now to try and get some zzz's in the bank ahead of a massive Sunday night. Cannot wait.
Really like your call @Chris-B if Nicholls is injured. Have seen F-all about why Southee was fielding the whole time? do we actually know what the deal is?

Nicholls was also down getting worked out around his hamstring during the first drinks break during our innings.

Kind of weird here in australia,
The whole country is saying, Go kiwis ,
it has more to do with how much they hate the poms than anything else , but still, they are right behind us which seems strange
-
We should update the thread title to include 'Black Caps vs England' just because when I first started making the threads for our pools games I didn't think 'Black Caps' would make it beyond that.
Jesus I can't wait for Sunday. And unlike @Siam I am going to be riding on every single fucking ball and every single fucking run. It's going to be stressful as hell but I am so up for this.

@No-Quarter you glutton for punishment 😁
I've been battered to submission too many times, now I'm the old submissive fishwife, " as long as they have fun, get home for dinner and don't hurt anyone" being my mantra.
Must admit to enjoying this valium like state shuffling around humming "Que sera sera..."

Deep down they all love NZ and think the people* are great.

Where's the confidence? We're going to absolutely destroy them! You heard it here first...
Am I doing it right?
You can stay in bed with the TV off too.

@Siam said in CWC Final - Black Caps v England:
@Virgil and making the final is enough for me.
Been burned too many times when expecting something from my cricket team so quite frankly I don't give a toss if we win, or how well we do.
Going to approach this final with zen like serenity without giving the result any thought time.
The boys have done enough the result won't detract from thatMethinks the lady doth protest too much.

@Billy-Tell mate, remember the 2011 Rugby WC final? Well, we're France.
Jeepers if we lose 7-8 I’d be pretty gutted. I mean to not chase down 8 would be disappointing.
We batted first.

Winning team gets a cheque for US $4 million, losing team gets a cheque for US $2 million.
I say we go for the $4 million.
It’s better than getting a car to sell ( or not #paddlesthewanker )
