No matter how many times I watch us win this bad boy, World Champions always has a lovely ring to it.

And again, how many wickets were a result of that? It was a pretty two-paced pitch, the only wickets where bats looked beaten by pace was through the air, not off the deck (McCullum, Anderson). I doubt any team in the world could have stayed with us tonight, it was a complete performance.

Vanilla is correct. To blame that defeat on the ground displays a serious lack of knowledge. This Australian side is complete. They bat to number 10, they have 7 bowlers, 4 or 5 are elite fieldsmen….they are just class.
No current squad, even the Saffas, would have beaten them yesterday.

Hard to disagree, they gave them a schooling. That side is loaded with big match experience.
A big congratulations has to go NZ's way though. They were phenomenal throughout the tournament and well deserved to be the other finalist. Just a shame they didn't bring their best game as it would have been great to see both teams firing on the day.
A fitting way to send captain courageous off.

No doubt..Australia were far too good in all facets of the game on the day….mearly pointing out that NZ playing all there matches on there turf wasn't an ideal preparation for a true Cricket ground that is the MCG...Allan Border must be a numpty as well as he said as much in commentary...
They did beat us ...only just in the preliminary stages over there

Not a single Indian or Englishman amongst them :laughing:
As a kiwi let me first say congrats to Aussie. 7 Wicket victory in a final is a smashing. I think my boys played there final against SA.I was Hopping for a better game but then again I was really just hopping for a better result. Except for the game in Auckland, Aussie smashed everyone they played, all comprehensive wins, so you are worthy champs.

Dharwan would have been a better selection than either opener. McCullum broke a few games open, but barely saw the end of the power play all tournament. Guppy as you said scored all his runs in one inning.
Maxwell definitely warrants selection, batted at 64.8 (second in the Aus team a couple of runs below Smith), with a strike rate of 182, with two fifties and a century, as well as chiming in with some wickets and run outs. Definitely a coming of age tournament for him.

It was a dominant performance but I wouldn't say they showed too much class, pity there isn't biff allowed in cricket…..smartarse Haddin and Johnson might've deservedly got put on their arse.
