[Cricket] Cricket World Cup Final: ENGLAND v New Zealand *** Official Match Thread ***

[Pogue Mahone]

I remember Clive a Lloyd dropping a sitter to keep them in - I can’t remember him ever dropping another catch

Yes, I had forgotten that. The West Indians in the crowd celebrated the drop, whilst we all groaned...

 

[dangull]

Has the World Cup been dropped by NZ?

 

[vegster]

Just noticed the number on Joe Root's shirt - very good!

Better late than never I suppose.

First change not so bad to have only lost 1 wicket and NZ have bowled Boult and Henry half of their allocation.

RRR unimportant at moment, lets hope the Tyke pairing fancy a bit of a quiet batting for the next 10 overs, then we'll see.

Colin de Grandhomme and Colin Hawkins: same mum?

 

[Pogue Mahone]

That was an awful dropped c and b. Luck seems to be with England.

 

[Blackadder]

Three maidens in a row.

 

[Mackenzie]

Don’t panic England.

Better late than never I suppose.

Nearly 3 years is a long woooosh.

Inside edge for 4 Bairstow. You could be right!

 

[Willow]

Unbelievable how many near misses for wickets. I fancy England to win this now they have somehow got through to 14 overs with only one down. Kiwis need a clatter of wickets.

 

[knocky1]

The sun is getting his hat on, we’re getting ready to play
Henry’s got his cap on, it’s going to be our day

The Leffe is going down well....,

 

[Bodian]

They're bowling too well for us. Not looking good.

 

[Blackadder]

Root never got into his stride. Not one boundary

 

[knocky1]

They're bowling too well for us. Not looking good.

Exciting though. Better to lose than win by a mile.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

We need to play our game, we create our own pressure like earlier in the tournament when we lost.

 

[Pantani]

Pathetic from Root. Charge down was stupid, following it with a leaden footed waft doubly so.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Cometh the hour...

 

[The_Viper]

England and bottling it in world cups name a more iconic duo hahaha

 

[GT49er]

Don’t panic England.

OK, panic a bit now .............................
