Herman 9,756 Posted July 14, 2019 Fantastic cricket. Well done England. Unlucky a brilliant New Zealand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted July 14, 2019 Feel so sorry for the Kiwis after that accidental Stokes overthrow boundary, and then Boult's catch in the super over... that's such an England way to lose! Thoroughly dining out on the moment, but massive kudos to New Zealand. What a brilliant advert for cricket... as Elastic Man said earlier, much better than a 350+ slogfest. Not bad for a sedentary activity that isn't a real sport, eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aggy 755 Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Nuff Said said: AND a tie break in the final set of the Wimbledon men's final! Not very happy with Federer throwing away the two championship points - if he’d have won it then, I could have switched over to the last five overs of the cricket in peace instead of the stress of having to try and time my channel hopping tactically to avoid missing anything important in either! To go to a super over in the World Cup final and to be three yards from either winning or losing on the last ball is about as tense as it gets. You literally couldn’t have scripted it any better.

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted July 14, 2019 Kin Hell. I was grinding my teeth at the 3 consecutive maidens when we were batting, convinced they would come and bite us on the rear, then I couldn't believe Boult and that boundary 'catch' (that could haunt him forever) When we needed 15 from 4, that was when I finally resigned myself that we were 98% sure to lose, and then.........FML Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted July 15, 2019 Don’t understand the comments that we almost don’t deserve it. We’ve been the best one day side for 4 years, the best in the tournament and rightly won the final. We were rightly classed as favourites and this time, the end result was correct. Yes I’m biased but we’ve consistently been the best, most entertaining, most effective one day side. Worthy World Cup winners in every way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
