Extremely difficult for Kiwis here to reach 240.

Anything less than 260, they're short.

Actually not that difficult if they bat sensibly as they only need around run a ball to get there.

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.



But you said you dont care about the past and just the present? So why do you care about what Pakistan did in past and not concentrate on present (match days)?


You said you only care about present. Yet when it came to Pakistan, you stopped suporting them based on past performances rather than waiting for them to actually play a game in present.

For me present in cricket terms is not this moment, this day, yesterday or the last month. Present is the overall performance of your current team.

Pakistan have kept the same squad in the last two years and they have played atrocious cricket. That is why I refused to support them in the World Cup.

I support England in this World Cup because they are the #1 team and have worked very hard to be where they are. Why should I punish them for the failures of their predecessors?
 
Come on NZ, at least score 250 to make this entertaining.

Also i'm loving how everyone is singing songs, reminds me of Premier League matches.
 
Should look for 60 now.. 7 overs left.. Santner and Henry to bat.
 
Adil Rashid - 8 overs, 39 runs. This should've been more. If there was any player of which New Zealand could score 6 an over it was him.
 
Every run is vital for NZ.

Their fielding will increase the score by 10/15 anyway.
 
Next 16-20 overs will seal the fate of NZ. How they finish the innings and what Boult and Henry can do with the new ball. Ferguson and Santner will only come into play if Nz gets 2 wickets in first 10-15 overs in my opinion.

These are your personal standards which you have personally defined. So its fine.
 
Anything above 230 will be tough to chase.

Unlike Aussies the NZ will bowl their hearts out.

Not easy conditions to bat!
 
Sky sports picked the most dull commentary team they could for this final.

What business does Ganguly have in this final?

Run a ball from here can lead NZ to 240. They should try to play next 5 overs run a ball and get to around 210 in 45 ideally without loosing wickets and then after that they can go for attack.

210 of 45 target is going fine with ideal scenario of no loss of wicket as well.

Yeah, if they can't get 2 wickets in first 10 or 15 it will a piece of cake for England.
I think NZ will be happy to get 250- I don't think 250 or 270 matters, England can score 300 if they don't lose early wickets. So the way to go about it is taking early wickets.

Too many short balls from England and NZ just trying to evade them now. It is time to just go for the shots now.
 
CDG needs to play best innings of his WC, Latham has already played his
 
I hope we get to see Ashes 2005 level atmosphere when England are on the brink of winning today, and even even in the upcoming Ashes.
 
NZ has shown that they can defend totals of 240-260 a lot recently. I don't think this is going to be easy for England.
 
If CDG can even convert his innings to SR of 100 from where he is now, NZ will reach 250 atleast. But CDG is struggling at the moment
 
Maintain that 250 is a par score, think we will be looking at 240 which will still be tricky and potentially losable under pressure.
 
Wish India had beaten them. The final would have been amazing.
 
Never understood why CDG has been preferred over Corey Anderson by NZ in ODIs in last couple of years.
 
India would have been a better final.

Our batting has just not been good enough throughout the tournament.
 
Latham is a good find on slow wickets for NZ.. He will do well in Asian wickets.
 
Williamson sounded defeatist yesterday and they have played defeatist cricket today.,
 
We are going to the win the world cup!

We are the world champions!

I am a world cup winning fan!

Probably because he can bowl a few overs. A proper raillu katta.

Corey Anderson was a better pacer as well. His record as a bowler in ODIs is really impressive, he has average of around 25
 
Congrats to England, they played fearless cricket and deserve it.
 
Definitely more Indian fans than English fans to come spoil this final.
 
I don't understand the singles at this stage
Just 2 overs left...
If not going to go for boundaries now, then when?
 
Although i think England will win the final, we shouldn't underestimate NZ bowling which has the capability of defending 240ish totals.
