Hmmph...dat is cutarse... :shock:

England looks to be the superior team going into the final, buh people was saying the same thing about India with respect to the tournament.

Regardless, neither of the finalists have won the cup before so it's fitting that one of them will lift it this rounds.

Rooting for the underdog... 8-)

Yup....I think the overcast conditions will help their bowlers ...especially Boult.

Soooo unfortunate for new zealand but they threw it away imo. First the six with the boult catch, you have to be more aware there but more than that, I think boults last over could of been much better. That 6 after two dot ball could of been avoided. After two yorkers in the first two balls, he should of went short. The ball was gripping in the pitch all match. All batsmen pretty much struggled with the short ball. His partners at the other end esp Ferguson used it well, yet he continued to try for the yorker when stokes was expecting it. A sweep is more often than not a premeditated shot.

You have to feel it for NZ.

Great game of cricket.

I am happy for Archer.

Chris Gayle: Australian newspapers lose appeal in defamation case

Three Australian newspapers have lost an appeal against a defamation payout that was awarded to West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle.

Articles published in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and the Canberra Times reported claims that Gayle had exposed himself to a female massage therapist in Sydney in 2015.

Gayle said the stories were not true, and successfully sued for defamation.

A court has rejected both the appeal and a bid by Gayle for a larger payout.

The 39-year-old batsman was awarded A$300,000 (£170,000; $210,000) by the Supreme Court of New South Wales last year.

During the trial, massage therapist Leanne Russell alleged that Gayle had partially exposed himself to her in a dressing room, leaving her "very upset".

She had contacted Fairfax Media - then the owner of the three newspapers - after being angered when Gayle told a journalist "don't blush, baby" in a 2016 television interview, the court heard.

Gayle argued Ms Russell's allegation was fabricated. A jury sided with him, ruling that the newspapers had failed to establish a defence of truth.

In challenging the ruling, the newspapers argued they should have received a new trial because Gayle's lawyer had launched a "full-throttled attack" on Ms Russell's credibility during his closing address.

The New South Wales Court of Appeal agreed that this had been unfair to Ms Russell. It ruled, however, that the jury had been given sufficient instructions to reach a fair verdict.

The court also dismissed a counter-appeal by Gayle that his payout was inadequate.

Gayle is among the world's highest-profile cricketers and recently reversed his plans to retire from one-day internationals.

Meanwhile WI "A" side looks like a high schools boy side, and India "A" is made up of players who could be on a senior squad.

That India A squad is a mixture of all the IPL teams put together....
