    Feel that’s 20-30 short, but if they get a few early that’ll completely change 

    Ours to lose and I’m worried.

    How many did NZ get from the last 2 overs?

    Last 5 overs from Archer
    1 from 22.
    That's why Morgan held him back.

    As Nasser just said, the bowler's have done their job.
    Now, it's down to the batsman.

    242 - Big enough to be interesting, small enough to be achievable. Come on England!

    Quote from Strauss:

    If England are not bowled out they win.

    Sounds right.

    The bowlers have done their bit.

    In England's own hands now.

    Federer hits literally six unforced errors in one tie-break

    Not sure about the "Umpires Call" rule. That should be out.

    I like the fact it leaves responsibility with the umpire.

    Once its been checked then why isn't it given out ? 

    Bizarre rule.

    As World Cup cricket finals go this atmosphere is poor. Shed load of empty seats too.

    Less than 50% of the ball hitting less than 50% of wicket = Umpire's call. Admits the tech isnt 100% perfect - what if there is a gust of wind?

    So many empty seats still. Blocks of them. 
  • I really like the review system in cricket, but I think that's out.

    Could turn out to be a huge decision
