GRAEME SMITH: A special final between two evenly matched sides

Regardless of the outcome, we as neutrals can only hope for a game deserving of a World Cup Final. It has been a successful tournament thus far and a nail-biter, would simply be, a cherry on the top. At the beginning of the tournament, the bookies priced up these two teams as the favourites – they have been proven right. The question now becomes, who can perform better on the day? I have no doubt that neither team will leave anything out on the MCG. It may simply come down to a special individual performance or a costly error, that sees the trophy remain in Melbourne or make its way across the Tasman.

Either way, it’s going to be special!
