Weather seems to suggest overcast conditions for this final so you’d immediately put New Zealand as overwhelming favourites. They did hammer India in New Zealand not all long ago in those type of conditions.
India named their team with both Ashwin and Jadeja doesn’t seem the right call especially as the pitch also looked pretty green.
Wouldn’t be surprised if New Zealand won by an innings.

A couple of days back with glorious sunshine and near perfect weather, I would have said India are slight favorites, but now looking at the overcast conditions I think the Kiwi bowlers will prove tough to handle and one bad session might decide the winner (if we have a full game i.e.)

Dont think India has much options in terms of swings bowlers in the squad. Siraj,Umesh,Shardul are good in seaming conditions but not swinging conditions. With Jadeja they are also looking to fortify the batting order so I think its a fair call.

Really hoping for a NZ win - can’t have one of the “big three” win both the ODI as well as Test WC, don’t think that would be good for the game. Plus- who doesn’t love the kiwis?

Wondering what other options were available as a possible venue...looking at neutral locations, I suppose SA, Zim and Aus have winter now so there were not an option (assuming it is off season time in these countries). The only options left would have been Sri Lanka, West Indies and UAE (not considering Pak due to political reasons of course)?

As we are always reminded at these times, England is the only country in the world where it rains. Anywhere else would do!

To be honest England probably is the only place. By accident or design both teams are here, in the hotel/ground arrangement that is the Rose Bowl. Pakistan would be out, there would be no crowd in the West Indies for this I don't think.

It's a real shame with the weather but....were there many other options really? I can see a ball not being bowled in this game and the trophy shared.
Not satisfactory but that's England in the summer!
