2015 ICC Cricket World Cup Final: New Zealand vs Australia - 29th March, 2.30pm AEDT @ MCG

[Smeg Head]

Thoughts for player of the tournament, Starc would be my pick.

 

[The King!]

I think Warner still has a point to prove in ODI cricket, while he has taken his Test game to an incredible level, he has slightly under performed in ODI cricket, despite the 50 over game being the form he was discovered in, after a couple of brutal knock for New South Wales. A nice innings here might go part of the way to alleviating that.

Hes built his record up aftera slow start though, but agree a bit
Today could help


I think of him more for 20/20 to start rather than odi just me though

 

[Adam H]

You are full of s**t

No I'm correct no suprise he failed.

 

[The King!]

Thoughts for player of the tournament, Starc would be my pick.

Yeah given how economy rates have been id give it to him, smith gets a big score here maybe him

 

[Some Idiot]

Finch has been a liability all WC, if you exclude his performance the other night.

He's averaging 30, he also scored 130 against England, but his inconsistency is beyond frustrating

 

[Pera]

Is Plugger35 NZ? Gee that bloke really is cursed

 

[The Falcon Strike]

I don't think that necessarily explains it.

The '07 WC winning team was a really interesting team, even though they were also winning all the time. Well balanced, good mix of players, worth watching.

This team...is not that.

The bowling unit was phenomenal - 4 of the top 6 bowlers

 

[Big Bryza]

Australia are the most boring team in world cricket

*in wot??

 

[underthestars]

Warner on the way to an emotional 63*

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Plugger has been well behaved.

Yes but he has spent most of his life in Australia actual kwis are loosing it.

This team...is not that.

Like AFL, cricket has become super professional, some of the fun has gone out of the game. Too many politics and money involved.

Just no room for fun, it's why NZ have been so well followed throughout the tournament, young team focused more on the sport than the money behind it and playing freely.

 

[The King!]

Running between these two is exceptional

 

[Pera]

Everyday of the week.

I just hope a fucckin bowler wins It.

 

[Leeda]

I swear the incessant ripping of the glove velcro is driving me nuts.. Davie Warner that is...
Just let it go and drive the ball into the nether regions of the MCG would drive me happy.

Or is that all batsmen that rip and stick incessantly. Highly unnecessary...

 

[Power Raid]

nice delivery

 

[Pera]

****in wot??

Taking the piss brother.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Lucky.

 

[ep2018]

if anyone was gonna get dropped for this game on form! it would be the captain

I would drop Finch for M.Marsh and *maybe* drop Clarke for Bailey.

 

[Big Bryza]

Finch has been a liability all WC, if you exclude his performance the other night.

And his century against England.

 

[lewigie]

No footwork.. did that bounce over the stumps ?

 

[Visions]

But it was just England. I still think before today Warner has been crap, even though he made 150 odd against Afghanistan.

It may have been just England but Australia's first match, 3-70 after 10 overs with Warner, Smith and Watson out. Steadied the ship that game.

 

[Willo_]

Geez that enormous truck of tree Warner swings at the ball makes a nice sound when he connects

 

[Gak Attack]

Finch's career is just starting, and was a major part in getting us through the Semi final. If we win he more than deserves it.

Not really. I guess most teams have players that assed it. Finch has had one good innings all tournament and often put us under early pressure. That being said I agree with not changing much when you're winning so I'll shutup.

 

[Keys]

Thoughts for player of the tournament, Starc would be my pick.

20+ wickets at an average below ten in a tournament dominated by the bat is an extraordinary effort

He'd be a worthy selection
