didn't see Kiwis winning from the hole they'd dug themselves..fair play
Eng went 1.05 and 1.9x on o/r
kiwis went 30 odd on the o/r for some fair wedge
one cannot deny,even as a detractor of this format,that it is nothing if not exciting
lots of nuances in 240 balls

Should have bowled Rashid for 17th over or even tried Moen and kept Jordan for 18th and 20th.
I understand Neesham could have taken Rashid apart but he could also have been caught and given NZ the questions.
Poor from Morgan in his last game as Captain!

Well I did suggest it might be interesting if someone got 70+ although to be fair Neesham was the catalyst for England falling apart.
Woakes is the new Stokes? That was a dreadful over.

This has been a salutary lesson for English cricket.
Big Limited Overs Cricket international matches are won by players who can deliver with batting, bowling and fielding when the pressure's on, particularly of course during the closing overs.
It just isn't enough to wear T-Shirts bearing ludicrous 'Woke' slogans like "We Stand Against Transphobia".

That penultimate over from Jordan was appalling. For someone regarded as our best for the that phase it was not acceptable. But I guess the overall result was justice for the final the kiwis didn't deserve to lose. Hope they win it now.

New Zealand should have won the WC because they lost two wickets less in their 50 overs, always thought the ruling on that was stupid
On Australia but Pakistan going along nicely hereThought they peaked in the group games Pakistan New Zealand should have won the WC because they lost two wickets less in their 50 overs, always thought the ruling on that was stupid
Pressure all on Pakistan now. they have to start swinging. What I don't get is why they don't push singles and wait for the bad balls against the spinners? Too many dots balls will cost them.

you are never really sure how it will go until the either side start throwing the bat around, towards the end of the innings I suppose. A handy score can start to look insufficient after the chasing team hit a few boundaries.

I really thought Aus were shot to buggery earlier in the Tournament but their bowlers have been solid. Lets see if their batters mettle is the same. I don't think so but when you have a target it can get easier.
Really great game this cricket.I really thought Aus were shot to buggery earlier in the Tournament but their bowlers have been solid. Lets see if their batters mettle is the same. I don't think so but when you have a target it can get easier.
If this gets near 180 or even over 180 Aussie will really struggle to chase it down. Pakistan too much in the attack and I would expect regular wickets.

that takes some effort to chase imo..dew obviously still could be a problem but if it stays reasonably dry not sure the aussies have it in them on this kind of surface..Pak have looked as good a bowling unit as any so far.

I said before I thought Finch particularly and Warner were flat track bullies but can't really blame Finch for that!
I think today will depend on Maxwell if Aussie are to get even near this total!

Impressive from Warner. Another bug bear U have is he slows down as he runs out of energy but he is playing superbly. Time for The Big Show. I still think it is all about him.

That is nit as bad as it seems for Aus. I do believe Warner would have slowed down and they still have 3 or 4 big strikers of the ball. Plenty of time still for Aus
Why did he walk? I didn’t think he nicked it either!

the only two bits of advice for t20 betting Des - is keep your exposure levels in your comfort zone and never be in too much of a hurry to back an odds on shot..
gets the heart rate up as it is..

he's actually an honest guy and always give his all
can't think too many would've walked in his situation
unless hawkeye didn't pick up an infinitessimally slight nick that he only knew and remained undetected by the robot eye

I think he's a terrific cricketer but has a fair bit of previous to suggest he's not an especially decent bloke..assume he just thought he had hit or as you say was not picked up for some reason..they still had a review didn't they ?

well..Des..had been backing Pak to win it all but when the 5th Oz wkt went down backed Oz at 11.5 on o/r and 6 for this match so damage limitation but not the desired result
Their bowling was pretty ordinary
after only 14 off the 1st 3 overs they had the big one off Imad and then they were always never really struggling with the rr

I ended up with a red of less than fiver on Australia, which I am pleased with given how much the odds swung, and the fact that I was only listening on Radio.
