ICC ODI World Cup final - MCG.

[Donny]

Australia v. New Zealand.

MCG. 2.30 pm.

[Pies4shaw]

We getting the coverage early, Donny, or are we getting it on Sunday like the rest of the world?

[Jezza]

I think the Aussies will win but I'm hoping the Kiwis provide us an entertaining contest.

They do have the benefit of a two-day extra break but I worry about their lack of experience of playing in Australia.

[Pies4shaw]

NZ have won the toss (Clarke can't even do that, at the moment) and will bat. Best get McCullum early (ie, about the 2nd over, at the latest) or we'll be chasing 500.

[Pies4shaw]

Here we go.

[Pies4shaw]

Starc "missed McCullum by that much".

[Pies4shaw]

Bowled him this time. Brilliant opening 5 balls from Starc.

[Pies4shaw]

And, whether you like to score the English way or the Australian way, it's 1/1.

[Dave The Man]

Big Wicket that and Starc getting a Early Wicket will put doubt in the Kiwi’s mind as he was the Destroyer last time they played

[swoop42]

Great stuff by Starc.

McCallum makes Warner look like Geoff Marsh.

[Pies4shaw]

NZ now 10/1 (or, less excitingly, 1/10).

[Donny]

6 overs gone.

1/22.

[Donny]

Starc strikes. McCullum out early

Mitchell Starc bowled the Black Caps' skipper and most dangerous batsman (with respect, Martin G.) for a duck, with the third ball of the innings.

Brendon McCullum had won the toss and elected to bat first, is this, the final of the ICC ODI World Cup, at the MCG.

NZ 1/33 after 11 overs. Excellent early bowling by the Aussies. Starc has 1/8 from 4 overs and Josh Hazelwood has bowled a maiden.
