See we murdered Afghanistan in the World Cup.

Great to see New Zealand make the final and South Africa to choke again, watching the Australia vs India semi it looks as if the Aussies will be playing in the final at this stage of the game.

So New Zealand v Australia in the final will be worth watching. I wonder if there would have been fireworks if the Aussies had lost

[NottinghamWhite]

New Zealand 183 all out. Non event in my opinion the Aussies will win this easily now.

[NottinghamWhite]

Easy win for Australia in the end.

[Mr Russell]

Yes congrats to the Aussies who won their 5th world cup, its a shame the Kiwis did not turn up for the final as they have played some of the best cricket in the tournament but at least they can hold their heads up high on their performances on getting to the final.

What's your favourite roast?

"If I'm in Yorkshire, I'll have Yorkshire puddings and roast beef. Whenever you go to different countries, you look forward to that sort of stuff. Whenever I go up to Leeds, I always try to have fish and chips, because they say they do it best in that part of the world."

Found this on the bbc cricket website from the 1st test lunch break chat with the legend that is Sir Viv Richards.

England in decent position after Day 3, 74 ahead with 7 wickets in hand.

7 wickets in hand? England 373 for 6.
