What an anti-climax, I saw the score and it reminds me of the '99 final when Pakistan were similarly dismantled by Australia.

Not fair to say NZ crumbled. Aus were just quite awesome today. NZ be proud, first time in a final, well done.
As to the match sadly NZ had their worst performance of the cup, while Aus had their best, in that scenario there would only be one outcome, and you can't really argue that the better team on the day won the match.
Mitch Starc's first over was undoubtedly the best over of bowling in the entire cup and set the tone for the game.
You are right. Australia were awesome.
I wrote that while a bit annoyed as I was supporting NZ. :) They had a great tournament though. Brilliant team.
I hope they get the reception they deserve later today when they arrive home, knowing NZ their reception will be almost as good as if they had won. As it should be.
Oh shot, not even ow. The Kiwis did heaps mean, Chur bro.

The voice of cricket when I was growing up, one of my favourites...understated and classy
Sad news.
A true great of Cricket. Made the game a better sport to watch on TV all over the globe I imagine.
