Weird game, Windies actually kept up the required run rate but just ran out of wickets.

Adam Voges is on 100* at stumps of the Shield final. I don't know if anyone has noticed because of the World Cup (I haven't seen anything this thread), but Voges has completely dominated the Shield this year. He currently has 1315 runs at an average of 109.58 with 6 centuries. It's a pity that he is 35, if someone ten years younger had these numbers everyone would be creaming their pants over him, but I've barely heard a peep. Rather have him in the test team atm instead of Watson or Darsh.

Does Voges have a test cap? He was in the mix.

Our batting is no more shaky than new zealands tbh. That said I'd make them the favourite. Australia have a pretty big advantage with the final being at the MCG. Still gotta get through nu India.

There isn't really much separating these four teams, but I still reckon India might crack under the pressure. They've had it too easy all tournament.

More stats. The average winning margin so far this world cup is 111 runs or by 6 wickets with 80 balls remaining. A lot of close games!

Anyone know how to find out how many players have faced the first and last ball of an innings? Can't have happened to many times before.

I think it's just for strict 'out/not out' calls. E: Either way the standard of umpiring from that particular end has been pretty effing abysmal throughout the tournament.

I don't think you can review a no-ball but they could have appealed and then reviewed it after it was given not out (assuming they still had a review at that point). They'd have had to be pretty sure though, with the bowler in his follow-through you're probably relying on a fielder at point/square leg to judge how high it was which is pretty tough at full speed.

I think the problem is that seeing as you can't be caught out there's effectively nothing to appeal. I think there might be some suggested retirements for Gould and Davis after this World Cup.

An Indian man won a trip to watch the world cup final except.. http://www.mid-day.com/articles/mumbai-australia-embassy-clean-bowls-world-cup-contest-winner/16081180 quote:Then came the shock. On March 18, Jignesh and Mehul received a letter from R Choudhry (Visa Officer, Department of Immigration and Border Protection) which stated: “Regarding your financial circumstances, I note that your income as per the income tax documents is not significantly high and therefore, I am not satisfied if such an income/occupation would constitute an incentive for you to return. Considering this, I am not satisfied that a genuine visit is intended.”

Davis has been terrible ever since I can remember, I don't see what's changed so much that he would be forced out. There isn't exactly a quality waiting list of umpires ready to go. They wanted to get rid of Billy Bowden but had to bring him back when there was no one else. Dharmasena, Dar and whoever the third umpire was who gave Jordan run out vs Bangladesh have all made much worse errors. There's like 2 good umpires in the world, and even that might be pushing it.
