@richard-futter should come back in before the start like last time
-
Had a little back of England at 1.38
-
Interesting fact: teams batting first have won 7 of the 9 world cup finals played so far. And left arm seam bowlers (like Boult) have a terrific record at Lord's.
-
The odds on the final just about right for me --- England are by some distance the better of the two sides overall.
But in this sport, individual performances count for an awful lot and in Kane Williamson and Trent Boult NZ have two world class performers. If Williamson scores a big hundred and Boult produces one of his devastating opening spells, then the Kiwis will have a big chance.
However, England have a team virtually full of potential match winners in both the batting and bowling departments.
For me, whoever bats first could have a big advantage, although only if they can make a good start.
Once again, if NZ bat first I will be backing England as the Kiwis' opening partnerships have been abysmal so far. But if, after that, Williamson gets his eye in, I'll swing behind the Kiwis for a while.
On a totally different tack, Federer looks outstanding value at 2.7 for me today!

Thoughts on Final:
England look a short price at the moment but not too short that I would take it on at this stage. If NZ bat first and put up 250+ and the price is similar to I would take us on despite the form we have shown.
If England bat first and ever touch 1.5 I would be hard pressed not to back it, even if we lose a couple of early wickets we have seen that anything above 200 has been a tough ask most of the time throughout the tournament.

countdowns on to Williamson lifting the cup and Guptill MoM

First losing day on the cricket for a couple of weeks - managed to get the match odds loss under £20 and clawing a few quid back on the run lines - will be happy with a £10 loss today - could have been a lot worse
my 2nd losing day this world cup... just impossible to trade this...this isnt even a match to be fair...
-
game's over... Australia have bottled it... no coming back from here
-
one or 2 wickets early doors and Australia's mind games will creep in...
-
@dave-jessop at 1.17 wont cost you too much

Obviously England should win this. Not sure I'd want to back them at 1.18 though!
numbers could be wrong but isnt it something like 17 of last 19 matches in this WC have been won by the team batting first and 9 of the last 10 at Edgbaston have been won by team batting first... dont think Australia can win it with a score this poor, but surely will be pressure from Starc to bring England's price up a bit
-
australia just need to see this through now... any runs they get makes this competitive... getting bowled out batting first in a world cup semi final would be criminal

Looks like two games running that the Aussies have cost me money

Wonder how many more chances Maxwell will get in this format. Has been a walking wicket this World Cup.
he's been pony tbh
Not sure they've got anyone to replace him. Stoinis has been even more disappointing - at least Maxwell doesn't eat up loads of dot balls.
