Absolutely gutted about the result of the World Cup cricket final. Don’t know if I’ll ever get over it. Everything that could go against us did and we still didn’t lose the match. Not as if we are a cricketing powerhouse that can continually churn out great teams like the All Blacks.

Only four years until you find yourselves in yet another semi-final. For what it's worth, I wouldn't mind India losing to you guys once again, at whichever pivotal stage of the tournament.
I won't be watching highlights or any video footage of this match in the foreseeable future despite not being personally invested in it. It's funny because as a neutral I've replayed the '99 semi-final endlessly but something about this game feels too tragic and precious to be subjected to repeat viewings.

Work has helped keep my mind off it. I don’t want to think about it anymore.

Isn't it netball? How are NZ doing in the Netball World Cup?
Strangely nobody seems to be ********* that

Especially amongst younger people, cricket is probably 4th behind rugby, basketball and soccer.

Agree with this on a viewership basis, though I'd also mention league, still roughly on par with soccer IIRC.
Cricket probably does get more interest around World Cups than the others though (besides football).
By participation at secondary school:
Netball - 27,139
Basketball - 26,481
Rugby Union - 25,317
Football - 23,513
Volleyball - 17,466
Hockey - 14,145
Touch Rugby - 12,187
Athletics - 11,301
Badminton - 10,793
Cricket - 9,500
Cricket is the 4th most popular boys sport though (Rugby > Basketball > Football > Cricket)

I was pleased to read that Guptill and co had a mini party afterwards for being part of a great game. Much better human beings than I am.
