Wow wow wow!

Mathew Wade take a bow. Just brilliant.

I'm not really a fan of the T20 format but that was a great win.

 

[Samsquanch]

That's a pretty symetrical result.

Which team is favourite for the final?

 

[chairo]

Conway out of the final with a broken hand. Must swing the game our way.

 

[Mav]

What a game!

 

[Hearts to hearts]

What a turnaround in the match and the tournament. NZ should still be favourites but this is exciting, will have to stay/wake up to watch the final now.

 

[shinboner magic]

Final should be on at 9pm as it’s a much better time for the countries that are involved to watch.

 

[The acurate one]

Watching the replay now gee it's getting tight. Wade just got dropped, although they say catches win matches I can't see that drop costing Pakistan much on this occasion.

 

[KiwiRoo]

Conway out of the final with a broken hand. Must swing the game our way.

Broke his hand punching his bat when he got out the muppet !

Pretty even odds for the Final you'd think. Don't think either side is playing quite at their best, but are finding a way to win

****, just finished the replay with no spoilers.

Some of our bowling tactics were ordinary early but Zampa was fantastic.

The run chase was well done for a change. Warner,.Marsh❤ , didn't panic when we lost a few and then Wadey went bang,bang,bang to bring it home.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Ended up watching it live right to the end and post game stuff which concluded just prior to 5am (alarm went off at 6.30).

At the end of each over I’d think “one more then I’ll catch the rest first thing in the morning” but couldn’t switch the bastard off.

What a bloody win! Wade, wow!

Bring on the final! [emoji471] (and a recovery sleep tonight [emoji99])

 

[BoomerRoo]

Didn't take long for the IPL clubs to start circling Wadey

 

[gokangas]

Rapt for Wade. He has copped plenty over the years. This was a sensational win - one of our best ever.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Anyone familiar with The Grade Cricketer podcasts. They are gold. This was from Stoinis talking about batting with Wadey a week ago.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Am I correct in saying that Afridi bowled 3.3 overs for 17... & then 0.3 overs for 18?

You are.

He was ****ing unplayable with the new ball. Mitch Starc, 2015 World Cup shit

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Haha. Devon Conway is out of the final after breaking his hand by punching his bat, after he went out in the semi.

 

[Jonnoo]

25 off 27, all over here.

 

[big_e]

Mitchell Marsh man of the match in a World Cup final.

Unbelievable.

 

[Jonnoo]

 

[Nate7]

WEEE are the champions, you ram rooters...

 

[Mav]

3 for 16 off 4 overs. What’s a bowler got to do to get MOTM?

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Where are the Mitch Marsh doubters.

I told you he was a gun.

 

[chairo]

Amazing win.

An incredible turn around considering our performances in T20s over the last year or so.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

3 for 16 off 4 overs. What’s a bowler got to do to get MOTM?

It's a ****ing batsman game.

Warner player of the tournament

Yep - I am prepared to retract my 'no Marsh ever again' this week. Fantastic innings. Great effort by the Aussies all round. Unlikely win.
