ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Just brilliant. Well done to bith sides. NZ hard done but this is why santer shouldn't have ducked the last ball.
 
Runs are runs. There should be a better way of deciding a world cup final than this.
 
Congrats England. Well played and well deserved champions.

Congrats to all the English guys here. Finally you win the world cup. See ya in 2023.
 
Fcuking hell !!!!!

Nou camp, Moscow eat your hearts out!

Can’t belive it!!! So happy for Archer and Stokes and buttler! Incredible hero’s forever!!!
 
My heart goes out to Boult right now though. Just awful. He’ll be asking himself for the rest of his life why he didn’t forfeit the wicket for a dog.

Edit - FFS dot not dog :lol:
 
What's the rule that allowed England to win despite being tied? table rank?
 
Credit to Morgan, Bayless etc. because the turnaround from the shambles in 2015 has been incredible

I'm an England fan, and probably in a minority of one right now. But it really turns me off when I see archer playing for England.The lad was born and bread in the West Inidies. That's where he learnt his cricket skills, yet here he is winning the world Cup for England.

The US do it all the time in their sports, and boast they are the greatest sporting nation. Feck it, England won a world cup in something..

Win a world cup and the first thing is that India comes to your mind. Christ :lol:

Imagine being this small time.
 
Feel for the Kiwis. The 4 runs thing wasn’t Stokes’ fault but it’s the reason England got to the Super Over & eventually won. Shit rule, they have to change it.

Still, all credit to England & especially Stokes. Some great shots under pressure & they’ve been the most consistent ODI side for the last 3/4 years. Well played.
 
Anyone for Wickets in hand acting as the tie breaker, before a super over?
 
Well played to NZ for making it such a magical match but fantastic for England. Who cares about Brexit.
I feel sorry for people who don't like sports.
Nothing like it for sheer drama.
 
I'm glad India were not in NZ position, people feeling bad for NZ would be reveling in our misery.

Grats to England, been best team for last 4 years so deserved it.
 
Champions lads.

Best Cricket game i've ever been too and I was in Melbourne for us bowling them out for 97 on boxing day.

Never seen a crowd like it.

It's over throws. I guess the only thing they can do is call a deal ball if it hits the batter
 
That catch off the boundary from Boult was such lazy stuff btw. Take that and England would've lost. Stokes is such a fecking gun.

MOTS

It’s called luck!

Luck is a random uncontrollable event - this is a stupid rule.. what's the rational reason for awarding 4 if it hits the bat and goes off? there really is no loophole that it closes.

How so? they played the normal game and that was tied. The "Super Over" is at least a condensed version of the game.

It was a tie after SO too. Who cares about numbers of boundaries, if anything wickets is a much better count.
