World Cup Final: Australia vs New Zealand, March 29th

[mikesiva]

That 183 looks ominously familiar....

Elliott and Taylor were the only ones to make runs.

Great returns for Johnson and Faulkner....

[ianp1970]

Another quick one might just induce a bit of panic...

[mikesiva]

Warner out, and Clarke in for his last ODI...no better place than at home in the World Cup final.

Once NZ lost their top 3 for so few runs the game was virtually over. Still not passing 200 was pretty poor despite another fine innings from Elliot. The wild display from McMullan was dreadful.

Not really. At 150/3 they were on course for 270 which would have been very competitive in a final.

So close for NZ but Aus are going to win another WC.

That's exactly what I said they would be able to reach, at the time. Then Faulkner came along and ruined the Kiwi plan.

[rich1uk]

if it had been 44 to win from 22 balls with 8 wickets in hand this might have been interesting

from 22 overs a bit of an anti-climax

[Aidan11]

Not a classic by any means but Australia won't care.

[Aidan11]

Clarke gets his final ODI half century.

[braveneutral]

Definitely far from a classic.

[Making_Splinters]

50 for Clarke, in a World Cup final, in his last ODI. Not a bad way to sign off.

Attendance 93,013.

Not bad at all. More than three times the amount you can pack into Lord's.
