World T20 Final. Kiwis v Australia

[Zoophonic]

Every game in Dubai in this WC has been won by the chasing team.

Warner OUT,couple stingy overs here kiwis could pinch it .

 

[Mwelolo]

Looks like it’s only going one way now…..

 

[Craggsy2]

They need to change the rules for the next World Cup. Far too predictable once you’ve won the toss!

Pathetic World T20 IMO. England v Pakistan should have been the final, but the tossers won.

 

[Smogonthethames]

Gutted. We battered the Aussies. They are soooo lucky

 

[Mwelolo]

They peaked at the right time.

 

[Smogonthethames]

They peaked at the right time.

Yep, they must have been practicing the toss to land the right way. Peaking needs to be only minimal if you get to bat and chase in that climate.

They peaked at the right time.

Definitely picked the best tosses to win.

If you can't be good then be lucky.

 

[Smogonthethames]

Jeez, the only sport on now is F1, and I hate that sport with a passion.

Aussies win

Typical

Its going to be a tough ashes, but I'll be hoping England absolutely stuff them.

Spoilt my weekend them winning.

Terrible WC won by the toss of a coin. It’s not the Aussie fault but IMO they are at least 5 better teams.

Its not just "the climate". Check out the stats of the last two previous T20 WCs. They are similar in that the chasing team usually wins. As the players have got used to the format so that has evolved.

It needs a format change.

Mayb it could be like a mini test match and have 4 innings of 10 overs each so at least if you lost the toss you'd have that 3rd innings to assess the halfway situation and decide on what's a good score?

That’s the prob with T20 it’s too limited to make a change and one bad over and your sunk.

They truly are the Germany of cricket aren’t they.

They truly are the Germany of cricket aren’t they.

Sadly, you can never write them off.

I had a feeling they would win.

Australia won 6 out of the 7 matches they played in this tournament which, on the face of it, is a performance worthy of being crowned champions. They also won 6 out 7 tosses which, unfortunately, explains the previous sentence.
