CWC Final - Black Caps v England
-
I suppose we have to trundle out the exact starting line up for Lords. No matter who we play we will be under-dogs which is fair enough.
I would take a Cricket World Cup win this year over an AB's World Cup win but both would be nice.
I can't take Monday off either due to work commitments!! Gah!!!!
I honestly don't care who we play but the devil inside me says that England would bottle a final because, well, England.

Who would have thought this new thread would be created and we would give a shit about it!
I'm just trying to work out how to cope with Monday. I'm struggling today a bit but that could be because of the ruby and multiple beers last night. I can't really tell.
Someone strap Guptil to a chair and show him his last dismissal on repeat!!!

After listening to some of the statistics for LHF bowlers on the slope at Lords' (something like 19 average this tournament vs 30+ for RHF) I've changed my tune on a potential final opponent - we should want England. If it were just Boult vs Starc that is one thing, but the Dorff is a big worry too.

Just watched highlights.
Guptill first name on sheet. Massive redemption with his run out.
Hopefully it might be the spark he needs

Nicholls was off the field for the whole Indian innings so hopefully he's fit to go for the final.
The idiot in me would like to see a Munro redemption at Lords!

Australia are our bogey team. Let's play England
I'd be happier to play England rather than Aus. Their tourney, they've been dominant the last four years, and they're more likley to choke on the big stage
-
Dying at work but reliving the magic!!
Hoping that bit of spice from Guppy will be what he needs to break out of his funk. If we can bowl like that to India's awesome line up then we should have confidence against Oz/Eng.
Would like to play Oz for a 2015 redo, but taking on England at home would also be super cool.
Holy shit. We made it!!

fucking bat fucking first

@dogmeat It would be classic craps fan stuff. They build you up to tear you down.
nah, it's different this time, i don't reckon there is any expectation. It'll be like last night, where we expect to lose, and are astounded we win.
There will be zero pressure of expectation on Sunday. Celebrate bitches! Play with freedom!! Guppy with 148 off 117 to set us up
-
@mariner4life Well there is the expectation that we will lose, regardless of who we play. I think it is called experience.
It is fun just being at the big dance though.

Let's be Pakistan c1992. Sneak into 4th spot, beat the no.1 team in the SF and then England in the final.
on paper that 1992 Pakistan team is fucking fantastic.

No bloody way would I take a Cricket world cup over a rugby world cup. I hate the feeling of not winning the rugby. I feel shit for days on end.
-
@Crazy-Horse plus, we can have both...
-
@taniwharugby yes that's the dream. Has it been done before? Aus would be the only ones if so.
-
@Crazy-Horse Aus won CWC in 1999....

@taniwharugby bastards.

The Aussies did it in 99. There wasn't a (cricket) world cup in 91 (it was 92). If you count the 91/92 as a double it doesn't help since Pakistan won that year.

If we win a CWC I will still be celebrating long after the RWC ends.

Be careful what you wish for. 1999 looms like a dark cloud over everything we do, a glorious period which we will never match, but we constantly yearn for.
It gave a young me the taste of victory so sweet I've been chasing it ever since, like a junkie craving a hit. Yet deep down I know the sensation can never be replicated.
It's the same reason I've never bedded a supermodel or been to the summit of Everest. Obviously I could do both if I wanted, but it would ruin my future.

Yeah I hear you bro! Same reason I never tried Heroin! Just be all over it!
Good strength on your part resisting the Supermodel temptation! Big Ups!

I don't want to be mean but that might not be the reason. Just speaking from experience.

Massively over-rated IMO. The horse not the filly

This is a surprising post given 1999 never happened.

Can anyone remember why the 1999 RWC didn't go ahead? Was there strike action or foot and mouth disease or something like that.
Serious concerns about the threat of Y2K

Well, I'm bloody pleased that 1999-2003 period had some detrimental effects!
God, that was a horrible time! Sydney fucking Olympics...medal table....
You feckers were never more girt than you were in those three or four years. I believe our Guv'ment even reduced our territorial waters simply to increase your girtiness!
