2015 World Cup Final Result | Australia convincingly beat New Zealand to win the World Cup

Elliot is showing no signs of pressure, still scoring with over 100 strike rate.

Great find for NZ.
 
Hindi commentary comparing Starc with Wasim.

There is no substitute of pace. Loverly bowling from Starc.

MOS of WC
 
Elliot is really played a great knock here as well as semis.How many batsmen can boast of such innings in semis and finals.
 
Macca, Anderson, Ronchi, Kane :facepalm:

Terrible cricket from the Blackcaps, was expecting a lot more.

Need to play out 50 overs and score at least 220 now.

We want an exciting final :mj
 
Ronchi is indeed better in ODIs. Come back when Sarfraz scores 170 vs Sri lanka. One hundred vs Ireland and he's better.

Sums up Pakistani mentality.

In ODI's only?? Ronchi sure has fallen a lot.



And the SL attack was by no means a world beater. You are making it sound as if he scored Marshall. They too are full of trundlers. Sarfraz smashed them at their home turf, I am sure he can do so again.
 
Why does Vettori sticks his tongue out every time he faces a delivery?

I get scared sometimes and think he might collapse and die :ajmal
 
Terrible cricket from many NZ batsmen here. Wicket is road , won the toss and still batted with so poor application.

Yeah, he definitely can score 170 in an ODI coming in when the team is 5 down for 70 odd. Please have some perspective.

If Sarfraz would have played that innings while Ronchi would have scored a 49 and a hundred vs. SA and Ireland, would you have called Ronchi better? I know the answer.

And I'm talking about ODIs not Tests. Sarfraz is better in Tests in Asia because he's a much better player of spin.

Such bias.

Dont think the wicket was a road! There is still much for the pace bowlers and also for the spinners! Seam movement is still there!
 
Corey fails bigtime - cleaned up by Faulkner

Best you could do? There's a difference between opening and coming in at 7 at the batting PP.

Sarfraz isn't going to score in Australia vs Australia in any position, he's not good against quality pace.

Can Sarfraz rescue his team from 70/5 and score 170*?

The argument for Sarfraz over Ronchi in ODIs is hilarious.
 
Barring a miracle it looks like Australia are now taking this. What a bad game for all batsman barring Elliott and Taylor to bottle it.

No he cant. But many other cant as well. That doesnt make one less of a player.

No and I havent even called Sarfraz better. He has a long way to go but so has Ronchi. Certainly not at a stage where he can be labelled "way" better than Sarfraz and that was the point of the post. And some fun too:P

Good to see you coming round. Sarfraz is indded the better test bat. No bais at all.
 
Embarrassing from Kiwis

The match against Australia in New Zealand was just a fluke otherwise Australia are unbeatable
 
Elliott/s fighting innings comes to an end at 83. And thats the end for New Zealand, its Pakistan vs Australia all over again...

Ronchi is comfortably a better wicket-keeper batsman in ODIs and more proven with bat and the gloves. It's nothing to ':)))' at.

Sarfraz > Ronchi in Tests is a fact, just like Ronchi > Sarfraz is in ODIs (for now).
 
Only Pakistan has troubled Australia in the knock-out match otherwise it's been too easy
 
NZ have thrown this away hence I wanted SA to play against Australia.
Australia started well, but NZ did recover but lost 3 quick wickets in the 1st two of the batting powerplay.
When SA get on top they seldom throw it away.
What's disappointing the most is they lost 3 wickets to a nothing bowler in Faulkner.
 
Elliott has proven me spectacularly wrong. Unfortunately, the performance of the team was poor.

Congrats Aussies!

I would have backed us to do far better after winning the toss in this pitch. Pitch has nothing and it's simply a very poor cricket by NZ batsmen.
 
what are the odds all this sledging and sending off will attract the attention of the match referee today?
 
cant have aussies win yaar
ill never hear the end of it from my friends

This is true. Sarfraz needs to average over 35 in ODIs consistently before being in the discussion of being better than ronchi. Not to mention his wicket keeping is nothing special. Ronchi also has a strike rate of we'll above 100
