Final - England v New Zealand

[vandem]

Congratulations England.

I must say I don't understand why they win, with even scores. Makes very little sense to me to base it on something so arbitrary.

Yup. Tied but they play more. Tied but now they don't play more.

 

[Prince EWS]

Who made the boundary law? Just stupid

Failing that England still would've won because they finished higher in the round robin I think. But yes it's a ****ed rule.

 

[slippy888]

Boult a fine cricketer but he cost New Zealand that match ffs

 

[thierry henry]

So England didn’t win in 50 overs, didn’t win the Super Over, but win because a Kiwi hit a ball for 4 in the middle of running a 2

I dunno, doesn’t feel right somehow

 

[OverratedSanity]

NZ definitely had chances to win that in that super over. Neesham really should have hit that third ball for four or six

Guptill's shot was just odd

 

[Uppercut]

Congratulations England.

I must say I don't understand why they win, with even scores. Makes very little sense to me to base it on something so arbitrary.

Yeah I agree.

Nevertheless it’s easily the best ever ODI and massive congrats to England.

 

[PikeyB]

Well played New Zealand . I felt it was gonna be close , just not that close . I had to step away for 15-20 overs in the middle because I was losing my **** .

 

[Dissector]

The greatest day in the history of sports? Certainly in my lifetime. I was rooting for Federer and England and so I guess I am reasonably happy. I still haven't begun to process the craziness of the last hour.

 

[trundler]

NZ lost fewer wickets. They should've won.

 

[Spintolose]

It really is coming home.

 

[ajdude]

leaves a terrible taste in the mouth that

 

[Shri]

luckiest ****ing win ever

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Cricket is very much alive!

Its dead to me

 

[nightprowler10]

Well done to England on winning probably the most memorable WC match of all time. What a WC overall.

Stokes MotM surely.

 

[Spark]

Guptill's shot was just odd

yeah seriously wtf. try to hit the damn thing!

 

[trundler]

In any case, ****ing unbelievable. Un****ingbelievable.

 

[MW1304]

****ing Stokes man. Whatever the man has done, have to be impressed in this moment.

 

[cricman]

A win for Colonialism

 

[artvandalay]

This day can go do one. 2 gut wrenching defeats.
Gotta feel for nzl.

 

[Spark]

how have you guys only just heard about the boundaries rule though? it's been there for every super over i've seen
