    Re: World Cup Final: Australia v New Zealand

    3/15 from the batting power play is a huge result for Australia.

    Our bowlers are performing magnificently.

      Got him.

      I thought they were going to overturn for the front foot.

        Great run out to finish the innings.

        184 to win but we can't just expect NZ to roll over in the field.

          No they won't but we don't have to rush anything early. We can afford to go at just 3 runs per over for a while providing we keep wickets in tact.

            Another great bowling performance. The bowlers have been sensational this WC.

            No need to do anything silly now, just tick the runs off, although Warner could blow it wide open early if he gets away.

              Finch failed again.

                Hopefully these two can guide us most of the way to the total, they're probably our two most reliable batsmen.

                  Always seems susceptible to quality bowling.

                    Warner looking like he wants an early finish.

                      With Warner gone we do need to consolidate.

                        He got one.
                        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                          Sensible batting so far. Just need to maintain this sort of application.

                            These two are playing excellently. Clarke playing a captain's inning and his logical replacement is doing the same.

                              What I was affraid of, that NZ looking like flat track bullies. I've enjoyed watching them take 70 off the first 6 overs a few times, but this game is showing you need a better plan b.

                                Brilliant innings from Clarke. Sad he couldn't be there at the end.
