Of course he will, over the last few years, has been a shadow of himself at his peak.

But Dhoni will go down without a shadow of doubt as a great player.

I can't see New Zealand pulling off 2 results like that in a row. Their batting line up is pretty poor, especially with Guptil badly out of form.

Win tomorrow and we'll be massive favourites to take to title :)

An England team with a great opportunity to win a major trophy, or at least reach a final...we all know what is coming don’t we...

Wasn't Croatia the 11th July last year? Please tell me it wasn't...

Edit. Indeed it f***ing was. Fuck

I will be sat in front of it tomorrow hoping we play how we can and smash the Aussies (who will have an off day). It will be very annoying if cheats are seen to prosper.
 
I am f***ing bricking it.

For me, this is the big one. If we get to Lords having dispatched Australia I cannot see us losing the final, I just can't.

I'm clutching at the fact Edgbaston is a hoodoo ground for them.

The toss will be a very brave call. There is a chance it will play out like the India match in reverse. So the first day - muggy, swings, then comes the rain. The second day - sunny, no swing, flattens out.

Will we be brave enough to bowl first though? And should we? I mean, the Aussies, it's swinging, it's Edgbaston. Other than a late call up for Jimmy Anderson, is there any stage better set for us? I know it means chasing, but...

Hmmm. He's one of the best wicket keepers to have played test cricket, the stats back that up. I'm also pretty sure he took India to world #1 in Test cricket as captain? He also won the World T20 and ODI world cups as captain of India. He's also been one of the biggest names in T20 cricket to play the game since its inception in the IPL and put in more outstanding performances than you can shake a stick at.

I know it's fashionable to be critical of him at the moment by the media but his status in the game as one of the great players is undeniable for me.

Anyone who disputes it is an idiot tbh. A transformational player for Indian cricket.

Agree about the toss. Thunderstorms possibly later so it may go to D/L too. I don’t envy Morgan at the toss tomorrow! :confused:

Bowl first I reckon if the forecast is correct. That said all our defeats so far have come chasing so it's a tough call
 
Just watching the highlights after taking my son's footy team to Alton Towers today.
If we can't win I would like it to be the black cats...I mean hats.
Would be a friendly final wouldn't it, basically for me our final is tomorrow, beat the cheats and I am a happy man.

In a word mate, no.

I've waited a lifetime for our moment in the sun, if we lose tomorrow I couldn't care less who wins the final.
 
Just to add another curveball, weather app on iPhone is reporting just 40% chance of light rain between 4-6. So maybe off for a short while but nothing more. So seems that the forecasts cannot be believed either. Think it’s grow a pair and bat first and just block out starc like we did boult
