If the post game commentary on the field is anything to go by one would best be keeping well clear of Star Bar tonight. It's going to be full of nasty cricket bogans!

Apparently drinking is the logical conclusion..............



Fantastic effort by the Australian Cricket Team. They came to the tournament with a great deal of depth in talent and fitness to back it up.

Kudos to the Kiwis as well. They really do punch above their weight, and provided some excellent watching before the final.

I think I will manage to resist the urge.

I'm happy someone else kicked it off. I'm not a self identifying political correctness fellow, but every kid (watching on school holidays) identifying drinking with winning a game of sport is a very strong message to kids...

Great day at the G. Work will be hard tomorrow morning.

Well done Australia!

Yep, it wasn't the greatest.

I grew up with alcohol being a major part of any celebration and I would think that many on this board would have as well. If you've read enough of my posts you'd certainly know I'm no prude. I just found that drinking seemed to be the major theme of a post event celebration that should have focused on achievement via talent first and foremost.

It's funny how the times are changing. Gambling and alcohol companies are so pervasive with their advertising and reach into major sports that it's gotten to a stage where their products are being pushed through in every aspect of the game, at the expense of grace and condolences among international participants in major sporting events.

Such a soft dismissal from Guptil, it just shows how happy he was to survive the opening attack from the quicks.

On another forum I read a quote that went something like "Guptil survived the fast cars that were out to kill him and then got run over by a pushbike".

Isn't this just sound advice at all times?

Very cringeworthy from Warney

Great win by Australia really showed the Kiwi's who is the best team in the world. That ball by Starc to get McCullum really set the tone for the match.

Re: World Cup Final: Australia v New Zealand

I remember thinking when I was a kid that to qualify to be Prime Minister you had to be able to skul a yard glass of beer. I'd seen Gough Whitlam do it the night he won the election. I guess young minds do take these things in when they aren't quite equipped to deal with them.

But it's the home environment that sets the example more than sports heroes.

Re: World Cup Final: Australia v New Zealand

I never considered getting tickets for the final until after we won the semi. Managed to score some tickets on the resale website yesterday and so glad I did. A very enjoyable match. Could have been closer but hey, just witnessed a winning World Cup final, can't complain!

Hahaha, I think it's one of those things you need to learn through first hand experience. Just like touching the stove when it's hot, or having a shot of Black Sambuca at 9am.
