This is honestly looking really bad for India...haven't had a wicket in a long time now, and AUS is smacking the ball around hard

about goddamn time

Interesting to see Maxwell and Watson coming in ahead.

Post: #204

Muthafuck yeaaah!!!! Australia four down!

Post: #205

It will take a miracle from here. Dhoni and Rahane need a 100 partnership MINIMUM for India to get back into this.

It's going to take me a while to get over this. Too many memories of 2003.

This is more to me than just a sport. The Lakers losing to the Celtics in 2008 doesn't even compare to this.

Its going to be a great final! The two best teams.

Post: #208

I'm barely beginning to understand this game, but it looks fun as hell, and the fans are super into it also.

One think you should do is too learn how to throw the ball. It's impossible. Feels so awkward

This will sound like heresy from an Aussie, but it wouldn't sadden me to see the Kiwis win their first title.

They play the game the way I like it - tough, clever, attacking cricket with a lot of flair and in good spirit. This is starting to sound like a serious mancrush, but they even seem like a great bunch of blokes. With the odd exception, it's hard to say that about the Aussie and Indian players. Do it for Dan the Man Vettori!

Being that it's in Melbourne though, the Aussies should win a 5th Cup.

The final! Should be a cracker

Great start for Australia, McCullum gone for a duck on the first over. Starc has been incredible this World Cup. I'd like NZ to win this, but above all I'd like to see a classic.

NZ look as though the pressure will be too much for them. 3/41 off 13 overs

Post: #214

New Zealand are screwed. Australia will take it home with many wickets and overs to spare.

Can't see Boult swinging it and Southee being out of form is not good for them.

Will have to be an unbelievable bowling+ fielding effort from New Zealand.

This one is in the bag. I was hoping for a closer match.

SA vs NZ semi was definitely the game of the tournament

Post: #216

Yes quite disappointing effort from NZ.

Post: #217

Yeah bit of a shame for NZ.

I was hoping it would at least keep me from going to bed but I don't think I'll bother staying up ha.

Post: #218

Yep Australia have this... every team has one bad game in the wc. Too bad this is it for nz

Post: #219

And Australia wins by seven wickets.

Oh yes, I'm so privileged you literally can't even.
Interested in joining the FFL? I tried (and failed).

Architekt, I came in to mention it. Not a very marvelous day for Australian cricket.

Comments on the KP situation? What a bunch of pussies the England administration are!

If they really wanted to get better they should have appointed Alec Stewart or Michael Vaughan to the top job.

I'm not sure if KP would help. England has a way of overhyping themselves, and then acting like the sky is falling when they don't live up to their unrealistic expectations. I don't see them winning against NZ even though NZ is depleted with the best players in the IPL right now and I don't see them beating australia.

He's the best batsman in the country, of course he would help.

The best (worst) part about all of this is that the announcement came while he was in the midst of batting 355 not out, albeit against inferior opposition.
