Genuinely surprised at that one. Nice surprise though![]()
I know even less about football than I do cricket but one of the few things I do know is that NZ are significantly more shite at football than cricket so fuck that![]()
Gotta feel for the Indian supporters there. They survived that 20 innings 148 target yesterday after sitting in the rain all day watching the Kiwis playing the most boring cricket ever. Stayed an extra night in a travelodge thinking they were gonna rape that pile of shit they watched yesterday only to see a different world class bowling and fielding team turn up today.
Lipreading the fat Indian woman cry come on Dhoni or could have been rain you bastard, on live TV while bawling her heart out just before he got caught out brought a tear to my eye too.
If his house is not on fire by now i'd be surprised
... and India are out of the World Cup. What a performance from New Zealand.
That partnership yesterday between Taylor and Williamson seems a long time ago now and despite it feeling too slow at the time it's proved crucial.
Matt Henry is man of the match and why not after that spell with the new ball.
He and Boult ripped the heart out of India's top order and reduced them to 5-3.
Jadeja was brilliant throughout for India but he couldn't quite get them over the line at the end, he was simply left with too much to do.
So it's taken two days but New Zealand make it to the World Cup final for the second time in a row.
Will this year see a repeat of the 2015 final or can England beat Australia and keep their dreams of winning on home soil alive.
This is from an Aussie mate of mine no less:
I think NZ just played their final though, a bit like a repeat of the last Cup.
I think the winners of today will be rubbing their hands but anything can happen in a ODI I guess.
Be nice to see a NZ v England final and see who shits it the most
Just reading up on the history of finals, NZ have lost one, England have bottled 3
The Aussies fucked up in the very first one I see with 5 run outs![]()
Whilst it would be great for the game to have a Northern Hemisphere verses Southern Hemisphere final I doubt the Aussies will make the same mistakes with the stupid runouts and will win today's game.
Once again who wins the toss will be most important.

^ Fairy enough.
Know your Team.
So, Mr Clever Clogs ... who is the current English Cricket Coach
Me too; I thought they had no chance and looked an average team. I still think they look an average team, but only the Convicts look better than average to me in this WC (although, on their day, England can be very good - I hope that day is today).
Anything can happen in a final; you probably feel lucky to be there, so perhaps the players will relax, play well and win the whole tournament...
Cycling should be banned!!!
Beer money on Australia at 6/5 so that should help Englands chances.
Aussies win toss and are batting first
Peter Handscomb's return to the Australian team is the only change to the XI, but also means Steve Smith is batting at number three, which a lot of people have been calling for.
For England, they're sticking with their XI, so no Moeen Ali.
Classy rag you have there Poms![]()
