Finally saw the final. NZ fielding is amazing. But politics aside, the better team won on the day ..
But ironically in the final their fielding was worse than in the group stages. They did drop a couple and fumbled a few times, something which was just not happening the earlier stages. Saying that, Phillips catch was incredible!

abso.. the pace at which it was hit.. simply amazing. It did overshadow the one he took to get Kohli out in the group stages. He reminds me of Jonty Rhodes - what a pocket rocket he was.

At 55 he has still got it..
 
Will take more than that to get into the conversation for me. Has a pretty modest four day record. Excellent innings all the same and given the strike rate he'll no doubt get McCullum having a look.

Rew looked the part in the England u19s he played in a few years back so it will surely be the case of when not if he's picked for England
