Guy wants a standing ovation from 90k rather than announcing it when everyone has moved on from the WC, can't really blame him.

Anyone know what time the final will start UK time?
4.30, remember to change the clocks to summer time.
3:30 AM GMT. I don't know when daylight saving change is happening this weekend.
Thanks! The daylight saving confused me.
I really hope NZ win it -- for various reasons. They're the most likeable team. Martin Crowe's writing is tremendous, as always.
I never thought that our team could do this well and I just dont think we can win it but you never know. Hope its a good close game. Mitchell Nicholas, the underarm shite is all media driven and its cringeworthy, I dont know any Kiwis who want to bring that up anymore and its embarrassing every time our media bring it up. I hate it.
THE FINAL: AUSTRALIA VS NEW ZEALAND
Are there any non-Australians here that aren't rooting for New Zealand? I'd be surprised if there are.
Highly doubt it.
I was rooting for South Africa. So I'd probably prefer it if New Zealand get hammered by Australia to convince me that the same would have happened to South Africa. I reckon Australia will win this one though after having the more comfortable semi. New Zealand gave everything they had against SA.
Anyone have a river for this match?
Should be a good final, best 2 sides of the tournament and players in form for both teams. Most of the focus will be on Starc & Boult (both have been incredible) but I think if the Kiwis are to win, Vettori will be key. He's been quietly efficient and done a very good job so far in the middle overs. Smith & Clarke are very good players of spin, so that could be an interesting little battle.
I'm hoping for a New Zealand win but expect the Aussies to win. Hopefully we get a close, competitive game.

NZ win the toss. Batting first. Hope McCullum has a great game. he is fantastic to watch.
Australia to win by six wickets.
Warriors just lost to the damn Broncos in the stupidest fashion, I need this even more now. Come on Taylor you knob, you're due a great innings, hope you've saved it for the biggest stage!
Made up for the food poisoning of 1995
Think Australia will probably win but wouldn't be shocked if they don't.
What's par on this?
What's par on this?
280 to 300.
The issue for NZ is that the MCG is bigger and has less swing then any NZ ground.
Me too.
280+.
The mcg isn't that much bigger than the Wellington ground there is a graphic around somewhere that show it
The playing area of course. The actual MCG stadium is huge. Also the apparently 2 paced wicket should help Vettori
Hope it's a classic!
hope its closer than that....
Come on Baz, play the innings of your life.
To think I didn't really rate starc before the tournament. He has been terrific.
Starceh is on today.
GET IN STARC
Hoooly shit
3 ball duck is NOT the innings of your life.
Oh dear
Well that sucks
What a ball
Silly from McCullum.
The Kane train looks like it's arriving early, lets go brah
Kane needs to go big today. Taylor is a walking disaster and the lower middle order can't be trusted against this bowling line up. Anything below 280 and this will be easy pickings for Australia.
Commentary is lacking Bill Lawary.
I would hate to think of the number of times Taylor has been involved in run outs but it will be a big number
He's gonna run out someone important today, probably Williamson.
The Aussies are right on top early on. We look star struck
