Erasmus may have just sealed victory for England. Absolute howler. In real-time it was clearly going over the top.

Yes because Pakistan is a 6th ranked team and deserves to lose to high ranked teams.

NZ should look for atleast 235.
Going by that logic, England deserves to lose to Kiwis today because Kiwis have been more consistent than them throughout the history of the game and not just last 4 years.
You judge teams based on how good they look on paper, which is a simplistic way of looking at cricket. India lost because they were awful in the 2nd innings and not because of rain. Stop complaining because India lost.
And please elaborate on why Pakistan DESERVES to lose because they're ranked 6th in the ODI ranking? In that case, ICC should've handed over the WC trophy to England before the WC even started because "lower ranked teams don't deserve to win against higher ranked teams".

Poor umpiring, rain and players cant even say a word or look another player in the eye without getting penalized and cricket administrators expect that cricket will increase its reach.
Most of the things are just poor plaining and can easily be prevented.
Not enough
Kiwis have 64% win record in world cups and are at number 2. Where is England? Absolutely nowhere.England have made more finals than them.
Anyway, I prefer to look at the present. Can’t bash current players for the failures of their predecessors. England’s underachievement is not the fault of these players.
Commentators also cant say anything interesting. Icc somehow expects us to listen to isha guha/Saurav in a WC final

So why dont you look at what happens in present i.e. the match day rather than saying Pakistan deserves to lose because of their bad performances in the past??
Neesham is the key. He can get them to 250+
Shocking umpiring in the final. Seems the pressure of the final has got to the umpires as well.
Pakistan vs Zimbabwe match will have more views and pages by now.
People aren't really interested![]()
We are going to win the world cup![]()
Your misery will end in a few hours. I hope you will be able to cope with the pain of seeing the mental midgets and chokers lift the World Cup.
Latham should open the innings. Nicholls is better suited to play in the middle-order.

Where do you hide when all these predictions of yours fail?
Why you take a leave of 2-3 days
Latham is better versus spin. Nichols may struggle if he had to start versus spin.
No one cares about overall win percentage. If you don’t win or make the final, hardly anyone remembers your campaign.
Our present is crap as well. Our World Cup ended in the very first match itself. Besides, this team is responsible for Pakistan’s poor performances in the last two years, so they didn’t deserve to get lucky in the World Cup.
You are too attached with two teams that one is knocked by New Zealand while the other is on the way judging by the pitch where England batsmen have forgotten how to bat after exposed to dead end pitch for years. This is New Zealand pitch and their bowlers will choke England batsmen who are useless without flat track.
Latham is being underutilized in this role. He can utilize PP overs better. New Zealand need a couple of young batsmen after this World Cup.
You do care about win percentages because you care about rankings which are based on win percentages. Nz made the final last world cup. When was the last time England made a worls cup final? Oh right, 27 years ago. Based on that alone kiwis deserve it more.
You had decided to not support Pakistan before the world cup started. So you cant even use the excuse that "our present is crap as well" because you had left the team even before the tournament started. It means you have different rules for Pakistan. You are clearly not consistent with what you are saying.
I have no attachment to either. I like India because admire their cricket culture and how they have transformed their mentality in the last 15 odd years.
I like England for a personal reason and also because I respect the hard work they have put in to turn things around in ODIs.
I don’t feel sad when they lose though.
Let me get this clear. You care about rankings and you care about making world cup finals? And you care about present not past? Yet you declare that Nz or Pakistan dont deserve to win the world cup because England have made 1 world cup final 27 years ago, have worked hard in last 4 years and they deserve to win it even if they play poorly in present (today)? Contradictions galore.I care about rankings not win percentages in World Cups. England have worked hard to become the #1 team and they deserve it.
You are right, I decided not to support Pakistan because they didn’t deserve anything from this World Cup based on how awful they have been in the last 2 years.
I didn’t use the present excuse. You were the one who brought it up. I simply said that even if we were to focus on the present, our team doesn’t deserve anything.
[MENTION=5495]Boi[/MENTION] Moen should he placing instead of Wood.)
) .
Thankfully for Englands sake they select the team on merit and not on pleasing Moen fan club.
Plunkett was a big part of Eng LOI success. Eng dropped him too early and that caused them a lot of hiccups to make the finals and that too after he got 2/37 against SA.
Can't wait for [MENTION=129948]Bilal7[/MENTION] to show up after the conclusion of this final, to tell us how Moeen deserves to be a World Cup winner![]()
