KIWI V8 driver shifts his focus to the cricket during the Tassie SuperSprint, Andy Lee has Australia in stitches moments before the final and the sledge from left field. It's all in Cup Confidential.
FRIENDLY FIRE
Brad Haddin was working overtime on his chirp on Sunday but it just may be the best sledge was delivered from a completely unlikely source.
New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum must have thought he'd heard his last sledge by the time he lobbed up at the press conference, only to be reduced to fits of laughter by a classic retort from a Kiwi journo.
McCullum was struggling to see the shortish reporter and asked him to stand up... The reporter's response cracked up the room and the Kiwi skipper.

HEY, WHAT'S THE CRICKET SCORE?

The Garry Rogers Motorsport driver was in sixth position when he radioed his team for a score update of the cricket World Cup final.
However McLaughlin would have to wait until he crossed the finish line to see how his beloved Kiwis were tracking after his engineer was fuming at the request, telling McLaughlin to focus on the job at hand.

COOL, CALM AND IN STITCHES
Australia coach Darren Lehmann likes to keep his dressing room relaxed, whatever the occasion.
As Australia prepared to field against New Zealand in the World Cup final, comedian and cricket tragic Andy Lee had the team in stitches before the biggest game of their careers.
David Warner and Lehmann were particularly amused as Lee held court in front of the Australia team and a capacity MCG.
Lee, the Melbourne Stars permanent 12th man, was pushing for a start at the MCG but said Lehmann was resting him for a more important game.
JETER'S BIG SWITCH?
They say baseball is America's cricket.
Retired New York Yankee's superstar Derek Jeter was spotted strutting his stuff on the MCG before the start of play of the World Cup final.
So, is the owner of 260 career home runs thinking of a code switch? Probably not, but the legendary slugger would be quite handy with willow in hand.
WE'RE AN ODD BUNCH, US AUSSIES
@googledownunder has compiled a list of questions trending during the first innings of the World Cup final.
Kiwi fans were trying to get to grips with the finer points of cricket, while Aussies fans were more interested in pancakes and murder.
RECORD CROWD HITS THE 'G

The MCG has beaten its own world record for the highest single-day attendance at an international cricket match after a crowd of over 91,112 attended the World Cup final between Australia and New Zealand.
The total number was not immediately available, but the ICC made an announcement late in New Zealand's innings that the figure was higher than the 91,112 who watched day one of the 2013 Boxing Day Ashes Test.

Last night's figure also beat the one-day international cricket record which was a crowd of 87,182 at the 1992 World Cup final, also at the MCG. - Greg Buckle
UP ALL NIGHT ... AND THEN UP ALL DAY
If the celebrations after Australia's Ashes win last summer are anything to go by, Sunday night (and Monday morning) is going to be pretty epic.
But the world champion Australians will still front up for a free fan event in Melbourne's Federation Square at the rather unfriendly hour of 11.30am on Monday.
The squad will take to the stage with the World Cup trophy and sign autographs for fans.
The last time an event like that was held, Test opener Chris Rogers famously turned up about an hour late and looking rather worse for wear. As punishment he was forced to bust out a few of his infamous dance moves for the cameras.
GERMANY LOVES 'AUSTRALIEN'
The good citizens of Germany were abuzz with Cricket World Cup talk ahead of the final. At least that's the analysis of Google's Down Under types.
They tweeted an almost 400 per cent increase in our country's name over the past week, crediting that to #CWC15 — the World Cup hashtag.
Remarkable figures indeed but probably nothing to do with the World Cup. The Socceroos did play in Kaiserslautern midweek, drawing 2-2 with the world champion FOOTBALL team.
MITCH FOR PM!
