Well done to the Kiwis, hope they batter the Aussies.
As for me, we’ll, I was a bit naffed off for about 10 minutes after the game and then I thought … there will be more cricket soon. The vast quantity of T20 is really diluting it’s importance.
Now onto the Ashes which is far more significant.

Win that toss...It is bonkers they seemingly compromise the game for the optimum TV time (well it is not bonkers it has been going on for years in Cricket and a number of sports.) 3 hours either side and the issue would be solved.

Aussies win toss Hopefully NZ can go against the grain, good start from them.

World class from Williamson, there is something glorious watching Starc getting mullered to all corners.
Not sure it will be enough looks round about par, they have a chance with their bowling attack.

Aussies strolling to the title. Winning 6 out of 7 tosses and chasing has massively helped them. Only time they didn't win the toss we battered them.

Don't know what it is about the Kiwi's. No matter how hard they try in finals, they always seem to come up short

Ffs. They should have just decided these knockout games on the coin toss.

Won a few tosses and had the likes of Warner hit form at the right time.
Especially gutting as we absolutely thrashed them in the group stage.
4 weeks till the Ashes...I really don't think it's going to be pleasant viewing.

Just caught the rest of the second innings after the F1. They strolled it. Begrudged congrats to the convicts they found form at the right time after we slaughtered them.
It’s so wrong to play the games in such changeable conditions. The toss is important in cricket but in this competition is was too important and for a three hour gave there is time to move it to a more balanced place.
