World Cup New Zealand v Australia - Final

[MattW]

This Sunday at the MCG - it's Australia vs New Zealand!

Will New Zealand get their first World Cup, or will the massive size of the MCG be New Zealand's downfall against the home team?

 

[Biggs]

Dream scenario. Absolutely glorious, easily the two best teams in the tournament making it through... Win or Lose, it'll be one for the history books. Bring on the banter!

Hoping for a close game like the group game. Can't support either side thought (Aus has warner and NZ are on my bad list since the 2011 incident...) so just hoping for a good game.

 

[Biggs]

Well I tell you one thing, our boys will chase whatever you post and go out with a bang, that's for sure. None of this limp-to-defeat stuff... Also, nice point of fact: NZ the only unbeaten team left in the competition.

 

[MattW]

NZ also have an unbeaten record in World Cup finals.

 

[Biggs]

Who wins in case of a draw? Or rain? Asking for a friend...

EDIT:

Nevermind, apparently:

If following a tie, weather conditions prevent the Super Over from being completed, or if the match is abandoned or a no result, the teams shall
be declared joint winners.

I can't see Clarke & McCullum holding hands and smiling...

We'll just have to win it then.

or will the massive size of the MCG be New Zealand's downfall

...but my favorite still has to be the Williamson parody account...

My mind sometimes say Australia but my heart truly says Newzeland. Looking forward for this greatest encounter of World Cup. I will support Newzeland for this but may the best team wins

 

[Satan666]

Will be the best world cup final between two world class teams I have ever witnessed.

 

[Biggs]

Maybe we can come to some gentlemens trans-tasman agreement whereby we at least play it out on an even keel and then gloves off for the super over? Give the tournament the dramatic finish it deserves? Otherwise Boult and Starc are just going to tear through the top order again and it'll be over before the MRF Tyres mascot can run around at half time...

If this one turns out to be anything like the one we witnessed at Auckland a few weeks ago, its will be a Super Duper Sunday.

I am rooting for NZ as they certainly are the in-form team and would really like to see them win the first World Cup ever.

Don't really want to contribute anything to this thread other than

COME ON NZ

Kiwis will be lost in so big MCG. Transition from short boundary to long will be tough . Aus not going to let the NZ win in their home. Hoping for a cracker of the match

 

[War]

Its the final i expected and its definitely 50/50 - potentially it could be best W-Cup final ever.

60-40 in Aus favour. Home support & Big ground.
