Gee,NZ needed that. Will another quick wicket to keep it close.

 

[bomma_man]

As long as Smith's in we look fine.

 

[Stereogatari]

The next spell is huge for NZ, they have to make this count.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

Rubbish shot.

Just wanted Clarke to bow out with a match winning fifty.

 

[Yagharek]

This is the kind of innings you need patient batting for. The target looks small but it can be difficult if they assume it's easy to chase down.

Smith and Clarke should be mature enough to do some damage.

 

[Rubixcuba]

My word that was close.

 

[Rezbit]

This is a bit of luck. Looking nervy or is it just me?

 

[hamchan]

Ahahaha so dangerous.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

haha, Smith really does have everything going his way recently doesn't he? Can't see how you can get him out right now.

 

[Rezbit]

Really digging into this total now, half done.

 

[Rubixcuba]

Real anticlimax this, shame.

 

[Jables Swan]

It'll take something special for NZ to win it from here. I'll be happy to see Clarke and Smith see this out. Handing over the reigns.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

No conviction behind these short deliveries and Aus look like they'll just knock these runs off with minimal fuss, I'm heading to bed.

Congrats OZ gaf

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Old George running out, head down, don't look at me.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Pretty ordinary effort by the NZ really..disappointing end to what was a great tournament

Congrats to Aus Gaf. One heck of a way for Clarke to end his odi career

 

[hamchan]

50 for his last ODI game, well done Clarkey.

 

[Lightning]

Steve Smith is a bloody great player because he plays to the situation of the game. IMO he's easily Australia's best batsman.

Glad Clarke is getting some runs in his last ODI as well, He deserves it, pity injuries forcing him to retire from ODI's early.

 

[Rezbit]

Well done Clarke. That'll do.

Yep he reminds me of Steve Waugh. Assesses the situation and plays calmly accordingly.

Hard to believe he used to be a specialist bowler.

 

[Blastoise]

Really happy for Clarky

 

[m3k]

I will say my congratulations now... Well played Australia. Well done NZ, I'm proud of you. Farewell vittori sweet prince!

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

If this is over by 8pm it will be a pretty dope day all round for me.

 

[Rezbit]

Yeah gotta give props to Vettori as well. He's always been one of my fav non Aussie players.

Shame the contest wasn't there, but have to say I'm thrilled with Australia's performance!

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

93,000 pretty impressive. Looked sold out. Atmosphere would be amazing, gonna pop IF we win

Australia bowled extremely well, they deserve it

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Congrats to all the Aussie fans.

 

[jey_16]

Clarke smashing it, great way to finish a career

 

[Deleted member 18827]

Dissapointing final. Aussies too good, even Clarke pulled his finger out.

 

[Jables Swan]

Some greats of the game retiring from ODIs after this tournie. Going to miss them all.

 

[hamchan]

Thanks Clarkey!

 

[chicko1983]

Ah shit, I log in to comment and clarkey gets bowled....logging out again, cmon Aussies!

 

[bomma_man]

Rip

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Shame, would have been nice for him to be out there when they won, with the future captain and all. Would have been poetic.

 

[Rezbit]

Kinda nice for him to walk out solo though with the job done. Well done Clarke.

 

[AxeMan]

Would have been a sell out but it depends on how many MCC members show up to get it up to capacity.
Don't forgot that the site screens take seats out as well so the capacity for a cricket game would be under 100,000

 

[Jables Swan]

Just as long as Watson doesn't score the winning runs.

 

[Grug]

This is for you Hughesy.

Very proud.

 

[Rezbit]

Smiddy another fiddy. That form.

Ah, true.

Just as long as Watson doesn't score the winning runs.

The hero we deserve.

 

[War Peaceman]

If Australia has to win then by the hands of Clarke is the best outcome. Boring game though, much like the tournament as a whole.

 

[AxeMan]

Is it bad if I hope Watson gets out?

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Is it bad if I hope Watson gets out?

Nah.

Also it should be a public holiday tomorrow.

 

[bomma_man]

Is it bad if I hope Watson gets out?

lol, even tubby wanted him out

 

[Jables Swan]

AUSTRALIA!

 

[jey_16]

YESSSSS!!! Champions again

 

[Antiwhippy]

5 out of 11 motherfuckers.

 

[Amandeep]

Well done australia, well deserved win.

 

[hamchan]

Wooooooooooooooooo winners!!!!!

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Dope day. Dope win.

Broncos win, Aussies win I did some stuff. Only thing that sucked was my run.
