cricket's gone to shit with introduction of 20-20. Ridiculous shots, and bland power hitting.
No way India makes 329. Going to be a trans-Tasman final!
Fucking disappointed.
At least the MCG would have sold out with India in the final.
Should be plenty of tickets up for grabs. Pity both teams can't lose.
😆 Bitter
mccullum gone without being able to touch bat to ball. That's probably it for new zealand. worldc up number 5 for australia-boring.
Australia's definitely got this. Too bad so sad NZ.
Too big an occasion for the Kiwis. Disappointed how they folded, feel for them.
Incredible for Australia - 5th World Cup, one in India, one in England, one in South Africa, one in West Indies and now one at home.
Respect to the Aussies. They're born with a winning mentality. Really wanted NZ to win, they folded under pressure.

How does rugby compare in popularity to footy, GAA, cricket etc? Ireland play a lot of sports to a decent level despite a small population.
I feel for the Kiwis. They seem to be a great bunch of blokes. Certainly nicer than alf the Aussie team, who can be utter dickheads at times.
shitty world cup on a whole though. About the SA vs NZ semi was the only one worthwhile. Maybe the low scoring league game between the finalists too. Otherwise, no special moments.
True, and it goes on for far too long.
You mean it went on. Its over maait. :p
Horse racing can be fun.
Jumping events are barbaric. Should be banned, along with the whip. Why make animals risk their lives for our entertainment?
Agree with that 100% Asterix.
I thought SA vs PAK and ENG vs Bangladesh were good fun too.

Like the alcohol and tobacco industry, gambling is too lucrative for governments to act and it's not a vote winner.
Anyone following basketball? Almost time for the playoffs again in the NBA.
