They need to get Warner before he gets going.

I think you two are probably right.

Shame as T20 Cricket has actually really improved the 50 over game.
I agree wholeheartedly with this. I think 50 overs is the best format out of the whole lot now. I used to find it extremely boring but I think the longer format is far far more enjoyable now there isn't as much of that 30 odd over slump in the middle.

It's not all gung ho like t20 but also requires a lot of tactical nous like test cricket.

Mitch Marsh smashing it at 3 in a World Cup final is not something any cricket fan expected pre tournament surely..

This is high quality cricket. Usually finals are pressure dominated but this is high intensity.

A bit too easy at the moment. Unless they take wickets, Kiwis are losing this.

Warner cashing in vs spin, while shielding Marsh from it as well.

When will teams learn that if you bat first you can't afford to have someone anchor an innings or relegate your power-hitters. You have to be flexible.

Pretty obvious that the result here is a foregone conclusion.

At least this isn't heart breakingly close for NZ. This is just a thrashing

Very disappointing to see the toss being so decisive in this tournament. At the beginning I thought the teams batting first simply not batting well. But now it's a pattern. Apart from the minnows playing each other can't remember more than a few games where the team batting second has lost.

Boult!

I was just gonna say that Williamson has been forced to bowl him about 3 overs early.
