[Cricket] ICC Cricket World Cup 2023- Final- India v Australia

[Steve in Japan]

I have a feeling that NZ will roll over, unfortunately. I don't think they have the firepower to match this sort of run rate. Hope to be proved wrong!

 

[Willow]

NZ really needed to bat first, losing the toss was unfortunate.

 

[Audax]

NZ already well behind after 10 overs. Both openers back in the dressing room, run rate well behind the required. Indian bowlers making life very difficult.

Hanging in there, Williamson has to be there until 5-6 overs out...

144-2.

 

[jakarta]

Mitchell loosening his shoulders, 180-2

 

[ManOfSussex]

Williamson just dropped on 52.

 

[Simster]

Williamson just dropped on 52.

Absolute dolly. Pleasing.

I would LOVE IT if NZ won this.

 

[Simster]

Good to see the Indian fans - who have turned up in droves for all non-India games - clapping appreciably as NZ begin to find the boundary all over the place.


Oh wait, I meant the other one. Just sitting on their hands. Twats.,

 

[ManOfSussex]

100 up for Mitchell then Williamson out.

 

[Simster]

F**k it

 

[ManOfSussex]

Then Latham out LBW second ball.

 

[jakarta]

Has Shami kebabbed them?

 

[Audax]

Couple of quiet overs off the back of the double wicket over. Gap between India's worm and NZ's worm at the same point has widened again. NZ can't afford for too long a re-consolidation phase ahead of accelerating again.

Mitchell with cramp problems. Could history repeat?

 

[Pevenseagull]

Just finished my work, settled down, put my feet up at 219/2.

Decided this justifies a glass of wine.

Might pour it back in the bottle

 

[Ali_rrr]

Regardless of the outcome, it's a bit of a joke how India have been allowed to switch the pitch for this.

Yeah don't bother watching this mate.

 

[ManOfSussex]

20 off that over for NZ.........

 

[Pevenseagull]

Yeah don't bother watching this mate.

I've poured it back out.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Regardless of the outcome, it's a bit of a joke how India have been allowed to switch the pitch for this.

Just reading about this. WTF!

No doubt the post match analysis on Sky will cover that in detail.

Oh..........
