England Vs New Zealand: 'Play Street-Smart Cricket', Steve Waugh Tells World Cup Finalists

Steve Waugh captained Australia to the ICC Men바카라s Cricket World Cup success in England in 1999. He feels England are playing fearless cricket but ultimately they will be judged on how they play Sunday's final versus New Zealand at Lord's

Eoin Morgan's England one-day team are already one of the best of any era 바카라 according to former Australian captain Steve Waugh. But to go down in history they need finish off the job on Sunday and claim an historic first ICC Men바카라s Cricket World Cup crown.

Steve Waugh won two World Cups in his 19-year international career 바카라 including lifting the trophy as captain at Lord바카라s in 1999 바카라 and was blown away by the way England dispatched his compatriots in Thursday바카라s semi-final.

바카라This England team play without fear and that is very difficult to do in professional sport,바카라 said Waugh at London's Trafalgar Square on Friday.  

바카라There is no weakness in the side, they field very well, they bat all the way down and have numerous bowling options.

바카라It is one of the best one-day teams I have seen and would compete against anyone of the previous eras. But ultimately they will be judged on their performance on Sunday.

바카라If they win that they may go down as one of the great one-day sides. If they lose then they are back to being one of the other teams that didn바카라t quite make it. But they have the potential to be a great one-day team.바카라

FIRST-TIME CHAMPIONS

Either England or New Zealand will make history on Sunday as first-time winners of the game바카라s ultimate prize. And Waugh urged the players to rise to the occasion.  

Waugh added: 바카라World Cup finals are about not relying on other people to do the job for you. You have got to step up to the plate. To win World Cups you have to be street-smart

바카라It would be very important for New Zealand, it바카라s a great rugby country with the greatest team in the world in the All Blacks.

바카라Cricket is always hoping to get a foothold so for them to make the final and potentially win would be game-changing for New Zealand.

바카라England have been to three World Cup finals, and it바카라s a passionate country. Either side wins, it바카라s going to be great for their country.

바카라It바카라s exciting, the people get behind it and feel they are a part of it.바카라
