Quite superb from England. We have enough to win on Sunday but its all on the day. Looking forward to the occasion. Best of luck England. Long overdue.

I remember the very first world cup in 1975 and being very disappointed when we lost in the semi finals - 1975 Cricket World Cup - Wikipedia

Two things that stand out which were - India were shite against England and our game against East Africa who from memory were an amalgamation of 4 African countries.
 
Well played today, England :) I don't think too many would have predicted these two teams to meet in the final, even at the semi final stage! I think we can win on Sunday, and it would be brilliant if we did, but the Kiwis have too much talent to just write off .

yeah, Gary Gilmour's only ever performance

Yes the ~Aussies over the years have had these part time or fleeting bowlers who have caused untold problems. Wasnt it Walters who was another Aussie part time bowler prone to causing chaos every so often. I'm sure if we put our minds to it we could come up with a number of them.

I wonder if Roy would have received the same punishment had India been in the final..
I noted Kohli all of a sudden doesnt like the current formula as it doesnt give india umpteen chances to qualify for the final. We can expect some changes to the format a la IPL in the years to come.

Gentle seamers- yes

Ponting got the odd big wicket too.

And who can forget the 16 for 137? Bob Massie.
 
I’m slightly concerned with Santner. He may even open the bowling. Boult is top quality but we took down starc, so Ferguson should be taken care of

Wonder if southee starts? Also grandhomme dibbly dobbly shite may hoop at lords

Derek Pringle's father played for East Africa in that tournament.

The 1975 World Cup Final was fantastic.

To be fair to him he got five wickets in the final as well and had a song by The Adverts about him.:lol:
