C'mon the rain!

Too late. Only 1 run off the first over.

[tjh290633]

122-5 off 10 overs.

[tjh290633]

England won by 41 runs, by DLS.

....well it looks like Scotland made a decent effort against the Australians.

But it was not to be <sigh>

Australia tried their best - dropping 5 catches .....

[tjh290633]

Bear in mind that Scotland scored 100 without loss in 10 overs, in the abandoned match against England. Perhaps a force to be reckoned with, these days.

The relaxation of the rules around country qualification means that it's a part Scotland, part South Africa and part English team that Australia has beaten.

George Munsey - England
Michael Jones - England
Brandon McMullen - South Africa
Richie Berrington - South Africa
Matthew Cross - Scotland
Michael Leask - Scotland
Chris Greaves - South Africa
Mark Watt - Scotland
Chris Sole - Scotland
Brad Wheal - South Africa
Safyaan Sharif - England

De Kock goes Arshdeep....and is out.

A finely balanced cricket WC final.

[Tedx]

Oh Gawd. The Indians have replaced Bumrah with Hardik. Where's Arshdeep when you need him?

[BigB]

Great final. I thought SA had it wrapped up. Incredible death bowling/hint of SA choke?

That catch at the end off Miller (?)....for what was a certain six and probably would have turned it back towards SA....

Interesting comments from some Saffers on twitter that it should have been a six, not a wicket. Apparently there is still a boundary line inside one of those barriers that stops the ball, and also a deeply buried rule that the line is the boundary, not the barrier! Great awareness and catch yes, but maybe technically not a wicket.
