from 150-3 to 183 was one of the worst collapses i have seen and that too in a Wc final.The total was never gonna suffice for the strong Aussie team.
it didn't looks like a final at all.Aus brushed past them with ease.
Good work NZ though,great to have come a long way.
New Zealand was blown away as was expected. They are new to the world cup finals and the pressure and nerves got to them. Australia knows what it takes to win world cups while for New Zealand it was just a case of making best use of home conditions and support.

So you are completely discounting Australia's dominating bowling and deep batting lineup and suggesting that the reason New Zealand lost was simply down to nerves? No respect for Australia at all? They were clearly the most talented (and complete) team at the World Cup.
