Do NZ really believe they can beat the number one team in a World Cup Final on their own patch ?
This is the question .
Flip this one the other way and would you fancy our chances down under against a team as good as we have ?
However this is sport , nothing is ever that simple , I watched a little Romanian lass take the greatest ever female tennis player of all time to the cleaners this afternoon in less than an hour .
She put pressure on Williams and despite more slams and experience than you can shake a stick Williams had no answers .
NZ bat first and get 320 and we are in deep shyte .
The winning of the toss tomorrow is monumental in my opinion .

NZ will be hoping Guptil can get runs and Williamson continues his remarkable World Cup with another big score, Talyor not the player he was but still a threat, then down to Boult and Ferguson to perform with the ball. England on the other hand have a team full of potential match winners. NZ bat first need 275 to make England get into two minds on the run chase, England bat first and post 320 + game over.
Out into the garden for an hour then in the chair by 10-30 - enjoy the game guys

We'll soon find out how important winning the toss was.
I'm not sure we're over reacting to 2 poor performances against Pakistan & Australia.
Over the last 4 years we've chased down some big totals comfortably.
I think over analysis is a big problem in sports these days.
There are so many stats available and we know you can read anything you want into them.

Woakes is some bowler isn't he , great opening spell I thought and unlucky only to get the one wicket .
Good un to get though , need Williamson out , he looks in good nick .
Hall Of Fame
Two quick wickets and we are in business now .
Well done Plunkett lad .

I was just starting to despair at our bowling after Woakes & Archer came off.
Too many short & wide deliveries. NZ looked dangerous picking up easy singles with the odd boundary.
Those 2 quick wickets change everything. Another one or 2 and they're up against it.

Get in! Taylor gone. Lets clean up now boys

I'd be tempted to bring Archer back and go for wickets now.

I would too. New Zealand need runs and have to take some chances whilst trying not to lose another wicket. Ad chuck him back in personally and see what happens
