Doubt that very much- for most Aussies I know it’s ‘anyone but England!’. Not that they are massive fans of kiwis due to the rugby rivalry but their thing with the poms runs deep and is handed down generations- it’s great though- wouldn’t want it any other way!Must’ve been a tough one for most Ozzie’s watching that as I can’t imagine they’re big fans of the Kiwis either.
Bit like us spurs fans watching the Europa final between Arsenal and Chelsea.
Maybe they took some solace in watching NZ lose. You’d imagine the rivalry with them is more intense than it is with the Poms but they do take cricket pretty seriously and I guess the England/Australia cricket rivalry is a bit special
