Sorry all - I turned the match on about 10 minutes ago.  Since I tuned in I've only seen two balls that haven't been 6s - one was a 4 and the other a wide!

Edit: there was the wicket as well.  But not until after he'd done all the damage.

And Woakes bombed it there. It’s a shame, but I hope NZ win it.

The 2 big injuries have really hurt us there, Roy and Mills in the team and I think we score 10-15 more runs and have better death bowling.

[PaulWinch again]

Sadly a really poor bowling display. Well done NZ go and win the short format trophy you’ve long deserved.

All credit to New Zealand, but those were three disastrous overs from Rashid, Jordan and Woakes.  Must have been 60+ runs off them?

Well done NZ I hope they win the trophy, poor bowling at the death from Jordan and Woakes as others have said two major injuries certainly didn't do England any favours.

That over from Jordan was arguably the worst over I’ve seen from him.

Meh, didn't take wickets regularly enough to worry them.

Good look to New Zealkistan for the rest of the tournament.

Fuck it, go Pakistan!!

Having to listen to dreary NZ radio commentators going on about revenge and how arrogant England cheated them out of the 50 overs World Cup. Please don't let them win, they are really bad winners over here. 

[tomd2103]

Just felt in the last couple of games that we looked like a side who had peaked a little too early and were on a bit of a downwards curve, particularly in the bowling department.

The second semi final was horribly similar to England's! Come on New Zealand.

[PaulWinch again]

Bloody Australia.

[Rory]

"And here we are, for the final that literally nobody wanted!"

NZ deserve a white ball trophy. I sincerely hope they win it, but we've been here before. This is what the Aussies do. They win.

Bastards.

[JD]

Fuck it, my worst nightmare, but I will have to support the Kiwis. Hope they smash the convicts, but no Devon Conway who broke his hand hitting his bat when out in the semi final. F'kin idiot.
