    The fact remains that New Zealand need to bowl us out to win.

    Awful shot by Root followed by a worse one

    They do but if they continue to bowl like this and we continue to bat in the same way that will happen

    As World Cup cricket finals go this atmosphere is poor. Shed load of empty seats too. 
    Problem with it being at Lords.
    Instead of where?
    The Oval, Edgbaston, Old Trafford...
    You think the final should be in Manchester or Birmingham?

    Why not Cardiff? Or Durham?
    The dots at the end meant I could carry on. Why not have it have it somewhere other than London?
    Of course you could carry on. But as has been said, why would you not have the final at Lords?

    I dont think the problem is the venue but the pitch. 

    I know this might be contentious but how about first leveling the fecking playing field so there is no slope.

    That isn't a fact. It's an opinion. 
    My opinion is if NZ continue to make it difficult to score runs the run rate will come into play. They might not need to bowl us out.

    Latham standing up would cause us even more problems

    They were always going to.
    But England should have enough batsman to get home.

    We need to get plenty of runs off de Grandhomme & Santner.

    Not exactly going to plan is it if we’re targeting de Grandhomme?

    He’s 1-12 from five overs!

    Bairstow staying is crucial.

    Still not panicking (ok maybe a bit).

    Morgan is an old head and has done a much better job than Root in rotating strike. Stokes has had a good WC with the bat and we all know what Buttler can do towards the end of an innings.

    At some point we will have to take even more risks to up the rate...

    That win predictor is pissing me off. No way are England 60-40 favourites.

    Odda have it 4/5 England 1/1 New Zealand so as you say not 60-40

    De Grandhomme looking unplayable. We should have called up Darren Stevens!

    Either of these 2 get out without 150 runs on the board I can't see us winning.
