    World Cup Final: Australia v New Zealand

    Any tips or predictions for what should be a cracking final?

      I don't think it will be close. Not sure who the winner is though, just a feeling that one side will not perform as best as possible.

      Clarke is retiring. I think Bailey, Watson & Johnson could retire too and (not seriously) perhaps Doherty as we don't use a specialist spinner anymore.

          I think the home ground advantage will make the difference for us. Unfortunate for NZ as dual hosts who haven't lost a game.

          I'm predicting low scoring as in our group round encounter, both batting squads struggled to make the adjustment to better bowling attacks. Tipping us to win by 5 overs / 30 runs
          If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

              I think we will win. NZ have posted some big scores on small grounds, the MCG may be a lot different. The bowlers must support Starc, as did they did the other night.

                  If Australia win I have to get up and go to work at 2am. Carn the mighty Kiwis.

                      Australia comfortably for me. Bouncy pitches and a proper ground will expose NZ.

                          Tend to agree.

                          I'm heading along with a group of mates, and a few Kiwi's, so hope you're right.

                              This is an inspired New Zealand line up though, on paper it's Australia comfortably but this just feels like a perfect storm. I'm still tipping the Aussies but would not be shocked

                                                      Certainly have kept them down with only 31 conceded off the first 10 overs.

                                                      An extra wicket would help though.

                                                      Mitch Johnson also started well.

                                                          Maxwell gets that wicket. Australia on top.
