@NTA will go on about Marsh winning the game for Oz for the rest of the year. It’s sickening how much he loves and rates that guy.
I feel better losing with Marsh the hero, could have been worse if it had been Warner Wade or Maxwell. Also I think Finch has claimed a first - the first Australian Captain to ever publicly acknowledge that NZ are a good team

I had two big fears about this game.
- We would get pumped; and
- We would win the toss and still get pumped.
Though, really, I was pretty confident Oz would win the toss. (I knew it, Dan!).
I should have had more faith in Kane to save us from a pumping. Haven't watched the game, but the scoreboard makes it look like Guppy was probably a bit inhibited by Conway's absence?
Philips definitely needed to go from ball 1. We needed 20 from 10 balls from him and leave Jimmy and Seifert to close out the last 4-5 overs, with Kane.

The only positive for me was 6-1 on Aus beating NZ in the final before the semis..We have such a terrible record against Aus in CWC finals matches, I keep hoping it will change, it doesnt.

Is there any other sport where a coin toss is so influential on the result?
NZ didn't seem to complain too much about the coin toss before the India and England games...
Lose one of those tosses and there is fair chance we don't even reach the final. -

17th Nov, 7pm (think that is Indian time).
So, yeah you're right actually. 2 and a half days time, rather than one and a half days away.

From some player ratings in Stuff. Posted more for the stats than the rating...
Trent Boult: The pick of the bunch. Thirteen wickets, tied for second-best in the tournament, at an average of just 13.30 and an economy rate of 6.25. Used all of his skills and toil. 8
Mitchell Santner: Entered the tournament as a key member of the bowling unit with his ability to restrict runs. Did so superbly in the win over India but bowled only one over in the semi and couldn’t make an impact in the final, ending the tournament with just two wickets at 74.50. 4

Why didn't they put Santner's ER in their write up? Things that make you go hmmm. Because it was good?
The answer? it was, ER of 6.77

Santner is the old/new Bridge
Santner has been Santner longer than Bridge has been Bridge.

He's absolutely fine in T20. Honestly, un-threatening in Tests and kinda in ODI, but his value in T20 is strong. He's hard to hit - and that's a skill.

He definitely has a place in the shorter formats.

Not so bad - lots of shits and giggles in there, but a calendar that makes some kind of sense.
Kinda takes away from T20 WC wins if there's another one most years though. It's just a massive revenue grab, and reflects the transition of top level sport as sport, to sport as a business

Does that mean since the previous World cup which was 2019? it is 8 years to the next ODI WC?
