[Borderline]

183 was the target in 1983

 

[Doodlesweaver]

considering they had a few extra days rest NZ have been pathetic

It's one day cricket, how much rest do you think fit young professional sportsmen need????

 

[Moonwatcher]

Finch and Warner get a century or be dropped

 

[Damon_3388]

It's simply amazing how far ahead Australian cricket is from the rest of the world.

You wouldn't think it, considering the whinging and hand-wringing that goes on in these forums most of the time.

 

[Hamingja]

Loved Clarke's "You're taking the piss Maxy" expression there.

Don't dream it's over. #AUSvNZ #CWC15Final #BacktheBlackCaps

Well it's gets highlighted in the fact they can still dominate while carrying one or two players who 20 years ago would have been dropped for form reasons.

Show has the best arm, power wise, I have seen in a long time.

Factor in his hitting ability and he could make a good baseballer. I remember Brett Lee considered a code switch once, Show has him covered easily.

I've noticed a lot of the negative haters have disappeared as the tournament has gone on. Some remain though.

 

[BG32]

May as well do the presentation now. We got this shit

 

[Willo_]

Didn't know about the tradition of players picking the next footballer to wear the number in AFL, is that true?

No

Warnie is an idiot

 

[HBF]

Sheepish performance from the Kiwi's

...

 

[Keys]

Really clinical performance with the ball and in the field by the Aussies

NZ can at least say to themselves that they've got the runs on the board and we have to get them but unless Southee and Boult bowl like demons we should get this provided we bat smart

 

[Some Idiot]

Lack of batting depth/consistency has been a problem for New Zealand all tournament.

 

[dumb]

if i was in the middle of eden park right now, i would be hitting someone in the crowd with my throbbing mongrel

Really? Who would you drop out of this 11 and who would you replace them with?

 

[Super Hans]

Rhyno wants to be out there. Or his hungover. Probably both.

 

[Westy Bogan]

This is how you send off a kiwi

 

[The Speaker]

Really? Who would you drop out of this 11 and who would you replace them with?

Watson for Lyon.

 

[Plugger35]

Yeah wouldnt be the top order collapse or the good bowling, its the shadow

Where did I say the top order collapse? I was talking about the collapse after the Elliott/Taylor partnership where the shadows were a problem.

The Aussie bowlers bowled well but they were helped by some poor batting, should've made at least 250 on that pitch, we need early wickets in the first 10 overs to have any chance.

 

[bird_man]

No

Bit rough mate, I think you'll find that this is exactly what happens at St Kilda. Maybe do some research before you start calling people idiots...

Boof to come out and hit the winning runs.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

No

Not really. It has happened quite a few times at various clubs.
