Got the beers in the fridge for Sunday , on it at 10.30 am and why not when you've waited 27 years to see your country in a World Cup Final again .

I've seen the three previous defeats , West Indies beat us handsomely .

We should have beaten Australia in 87 and Pakistan in 92 , threw it away when well set to overcome the targets they set .

The games moved on since those days of course , in 1979 West Indies set us 286 to win , it was a 60 over competition back then to boot , ffs that would be 60 runs below par today and 10 overs less .

The only thing that can beat us ain't NZ it's ourselves , we turn up and we win .

Win the toss and bat , set em 350 plus and it's ours at long last .

The reality is it will be an @ss twitcher , 17 required off the last two overs , 8 wickets down with Buttler and Rashid at the crease .

It's the nations way .
