Not been as excited about a sporting event for some time, anyone else feeling it?
I'm assuming no one is interested in 3rd place? Australia Vs India would have been a good match too.
Yes, really looking forward to tomorrow's sport - Cricket WC, Federer in the Wimbledon final, British GP. I think it's going to take a few beers to cover that lot!
It's a bit odd. Filled with huge levels of excitement, mixed with lashings of dread. I can remember when England lost to Pakistan and feeling crushed. Hopefully today is the DAY!

Think I'd have preferred runs on the board to chasing in terms of nerves watching at least.
Hoping for a bowling performance like the one against the Aussies now though. Don't let Williamson settle and pick off two or three others and it's all in our hands...
Excited.
Same place, different day, Take Time watch.
COME ON ENGLAND

Not a cricket fan i confess however i am an England fan so will be keeping an eye on things as the day unfolds but come on England after a superb semi not get it full on
I FEEL LIKE I'M DIAGONALLY PARKED IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE
Just ready for take off flight back to the UK, 3 hour flight so I'll miss s good chunk of the match, here's hoping we won't have a stupid score to chase.
Just reading this thread, looked up to see wife had switched on tv, cricket on, she asked are England winning 96 -1, shook my head and turned over channels, haven't the will to explain cricket to her.
F1 folk in F1 stock cars more entertaining, and she understands racing.
We needed that one...

And that.
Almost feel sorry for him having seen his reaction after he'd realised that he had played on.

A lot closer than the semi against the Aussies. NZ are building up a tidy score, going to get close to 250 is my guess.
It's a reasonable score, but NZ will need to bowl very well to contain England. A few early wickets could make it very interesting.
Come on England, you will never get a better chance.

30 extras is a bit of a gift from our bowlers.

I've never heard 20,000 people sigh in relief at the same time.

After that first ball taking the wind out of the sails a tad, the lads will be wanting to start piercing the field and put NZ under the cosh. This could be a very interesting afternoon.

Next wicket will be vital great bowling NZ

This is not the brand of cricket that got England to the final.
Not looking good at present. England need to get their heads up - NZ seem to be on a bit of a roll.
No doubting, but England will not win playing like this,weve seen it before. They need to knock the stuffing out New Zealand. As it is England have the stuffing knocked out of them.
Why can't England just play straight and sensible........ Did they not learn anything from the India v new Zealand match!

Win predictor had England at 51%, madness
That was a world class catch, superb. Game on.

Credit to NZ - they have bowled superbly. Though I'm surprised by Root - he almost gave his wicket away in frustration and that's not his usual MO.
This partnership is crucial
