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

[Neese]

I was supposed to be working today 1.30 - 4.30

I have taken a sickie to watch the cricket. No regrets and I am excited for the match

Can't expect Smith to get another hundred. Need Finch and Warner to perform.

 

[NSWCROW]

Time to wash the s**t taste of the WOEFUL 92 WC campaign out of australian mouths.

23 years......

Sitting having lunch. Lots of Aussie shirts walking past. A few NZ's. Then a guy in a WIndian shirt.

 

[Millky95]

Am so excited to go to this game. Going to be great

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

If either Boult or McCullum has a quiet one today then I don't see us losing. Just feel like for NZ to win, both those guys need to get on top early with bat or ball.

Any Aussie boss making employees work today is a bum.

Few of the kiwis are starting to arrive at the G.

 

[Alfonz]

What will NZ do if they win the toss? Might seem like batting first is automatic in a WC final in Australia, but I reckon they might have a better chance bowling first.

Runs the risk of Australia hitting 320 ... But I think they have more chance of restricting us than setting a massive total themselves. They could back themselves to have us 2-20 with Warner/Finch struggling for touch, and put the clamps on from there.

 

[Moonwatcher]

So what is the par score today? Being a final I would think 280.

 

[GordonT]

280 meh I think that's a tad low, batting first I'm thinking 300 is a minimum.

 

[Cmarsh]

Whatever the result today, I think the success of this tournament has quietened the doubts regarding the future of 50 over cricket.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Beers, chips pizza and World Cup final all day. Aww yeah

 

[ManWithNoName]

Indian guy in a New Zealand shirt with "Yuvraj" on the back.

 

[bkozican]

I have a feeling the Kiwis are going to pip us.

Should ban yourself with comments like that doss

 

[peternorth]

result can go one of two ways - an aussie win in a canter, or a NZ win courtesy of mccullum blasting us around.

 

[Smartys Power]

Come on Australia! Let's make it World Cup number 5!!!

I'm casual so not getting paid and someone else can have the shift and money

Exactly like Grand Final day is the way to put it. The coverage outside/inside the G. Plenty of fans flocking in the background. It's GF Day v2.0.
