Prediction guys …think aussies would win, 173 looks about par

Hmm 172. I would say normally that isn't enough but bearing in mind you've got the pressure of a final plus NZs tight bowling then it's harder to judge.

There's some real holes in the Aussie batting as well. I don't think I've ever seen Smith play a convincing T20 innings and Maxwell only seems to turn up when he's playing the likes of the 'Pune Warriors'. When the pressure is on he normally doesn't turn up. I don't really rate Finch that much these days either...

So it's down to the little bulldog Mr Warner I think if Australia are to chase this down. If he goes for less than 20 I'd be surprised to see Australia chasing this.

I think this may be about 10-15 runs short but it’s a final.
Come on NZ please

 

[Out on blue 6]

Good score that. If Boult gets it to swing for the first few he may knock a couple over then game on

 

[Bluewonder]

Don't think NZ have quite enough and it grates that the two best teams were knocked out in the semis by way of a coin toss.

Hope I'm wrong though and the Kiwis do the business.

Thing with batting second is you need 30 of 12 balls it’s still gettable if you have a man at the crease who is in and 4/5 in the hut.

Win the toss win the 20/20 World Cup.

All these crowd shots. Cricket clearly isn't the sport to bunk a day off work for.

Not that I would ever condone such behaviour.

India are the rags of cricket for me.
Aussies are more akin to the dippers.

I think you’ll be disappointed, hard to win when you lose the toss.
