Sucky finish to the WC...glad we played in what's probably the best game of the tournament. Would have been better for the final if SA had gotten through, I think.

NZ was not at their best today. I still think they had what was needed to beat the Aussies

Ozzie batsmen would have hit our bowlers out of the park,

Yip, I'm happier that we got out earlier. Would have been heartbroken to see them lose in the final like NZ did. Don't think we would have done any better

Yeah, what's with that? The Aussies deserve their win. They peaked at the right time. The final should have been played in Auckland tho imo.

Yep. I feel bad for the Kiwis :( They didn't have enough time to get familar with the Ozzie conditions.

The final was totally one-sided. It reminds me of that '99 match. The Ozzies are back to dominate the game again for the next 10 years. **** yeah! Good times are coming back!

Would be brutally one-sided, yep.

NZ Cricket, You now have the Chokers Tag! If SA played in the Final it would have been a better game to watch.

Well, then they should have asked for games in Oz during qualifying...their choice. Suggestions to play final on that small paddock in Auckland is ridiculous not even considering that it hold a third of spectators, plus more chance of foul weather.

They didnt choke. Starc and co do not bowl half volleys like the SA bowlers, Starc in particular lethal and unplayable. SA did not both bolwing and batting depth.

Michael Clarke was on the pitch an hour before the team bus left the hotel, visualising.

Would like to know what mental preps the saffers made?
