Not grumpy at all, I'm not about to cancel or postpone all the things I need to do on Sunday thanks to the largesse of a multi million pound organisation giving me a reminder of what I used to watch for free, I will be hoping, praying and listening though through the day. A triumph of hope over expectation !

Having taken down both the Millionaires and the Convicts, I fully expect a pleasant day watching two civilised teams enjoying a GENTLEMANS recreation.

Seeing as New Zealand is effectively England circa 1965 I don't mind who wins...

Absolute bollocks. If we bat first and end up at 25-3 you will be spitting feathers.

Aussies appear to have given up, which is a shame..........

27 required from 22 overs

Hereafter called doping a Dhoni.

Apparently, Sky are making the final free to air, possibly via Youtube.

It's on Channel 4.

Good news for many folk.

We had some fantastic battles against NZ a couple of years ago, it should be a good game.

In other words you’re wife has given you a list then

I’m sure you’ll reply with country walks and Grandchildren or even visiting a sick relative though [emoji23][emoji23]

Ha! You must have been spying on us! My wife said that on Sunday we're going for a country walk, with our grandson, then we're going to see her father whose not very well. I said bollocks to that, I'm watching the cricket. So we discussed it amicably and eventually we compromised and agreed to go on a country walk with our grandson and visit her poorly father.

After watching the humiliation of Australia, I'd like the same again today. Not enjoying this comedown.

Yes - but if you take your radio and earplugs and simply ignore everything that is said to you during the whole day as you're listening to the cricket, then next time.....

Alternatively, will your father-in-law have the cricket on? If so - go there first, and then just say that you'll keep him company and look after him all day!

I've started listening to yesterday's commentary again, reliving the destruction of the Aussie top order :rave:

I've watched the highlights 3 or 4 times since the end of the match yesterday.

Shane Warne on Roy's 3rd consecutive 6 off Smith, shouting "that ones coming up here to the commentary box" :lolol:

Mmm, that sounds like a good plan. Where can I find it, R5?

Can't wait or this one. As others have said, whoever beats India will lift the World Cup, and so it has proven to be.

Thank you. Wish I'd seen your post earlier, but I got there anyway. Enjoyed the pre-match talk anyway. First wicket just gone
