Look if that dopey New Zealand fielder didn’t throw the ball onto Stokes’s bat and got it to his wicket keeper instead we wouldn’t be having this meltdown now. New Zealand only have themselves to blame.

So where does this rank in terms of cricket finals? For me it's second best after the WT20 one in 2016.
I don't. Imagine accusing someone of anything as heinous as racism based on something as basic as that. Why people think it's acceptable I'll never know. Is that fair on the poster?
It’s funny because England aren’t generally successful in these sports
I know. India deserve a replay of the semis
wtf are you on ? I didn't even watch India's semi final and nor am i wanting a replay ??
Forget cricket finals. This was one of the best cricket game to have been played. Fantastic spectacle that was.
The drama was too much in this one, i think this was the best.
wtf are you on ? I didn't even watch India's semi final and nor am i wanting a replay ??
But England are cheats?
Best final I've seen at international. Partly because most WC Finals have been fairly one sided affairs post 92.
The best final I've seen overall is still Hampshire vs Somerset for the T20 blast in 2010 though. Went on towards midnight.
I personally think he threw at the wrong end. Should have thrown at the bowlers end, he might have actually gotten him out!
What? No, India are inferior because their cricket team is shit compared to ours.
You think england would have won if not for stokes deflecting the ball for 4 runs whilst running ?
How was it cheating?
How is that cheating? He literally couldn't see the ball. It's a massive slice of luck, yes, but cheating would imply he knew what he was doing.
So England are cheats?
Unfair advantage when you pick the best players from other countries though. Should at least rename to Rest of The World.
Best post in the thread for a long time.
In a world where knockout games are unfair its cheating I suppose. Some people on here have lost it
An Indian fan talking about unfair advantage in cricket. Rich.
India have a population of 1.3bn people FFS, you should have this thing on lockdown
You think he did that on purpose?
What unfair advantage does India have?
As opposed to your paltry 1bn population. Poor India.
Feck me, I think the only sane Indian fan on here is KM.
Yeah unfair and cheating must have different meaning in India.
If these people really believe he did it on purpose Sokes deserves the next 50 world cups. That was some matrix level stuff then.
Even if that were true there’s still more people in India than the rest of the cricketing nations combined. I guess it doesn’t mean much since a country full of sheep farmers beat India.
Where can I see this? I need to see it.
Our inclusiveness makes me very happy. Modern Britain is a glorious place given our past behaviour in our former colonies.
There's several far more legitimate reasons why he feels this way about Archer. He didn't move to England until he was 18. Until the ECB changed its rules 7 months ago he wouldn't even have been eligible to play. He just bowled the winning over. You have decided though that the reason he's selected Archer is because he's black. And now he's explained why he feels that way about Archer, and why he also feels the same way about KP, you're still TELLING him it's because, deep down, he's still a wee bit racist. Unbelievable.
With the greatest respect you're just showing that you don't have the slightest clue about the issue you've interjected yourself into, but ok.
But I'm glad that you're here to tell us what is and isn't racist and we've got the issue sorted now. Glad to have it all solved, and I'll be sure to let the world know so we can all save some time in future.
Every nation has advantaged and disadvantages. The poster talked about Englands being "unfair" I didnt
It makes me proud people want to come here for a better life and we welcome them in.
Immigrants have enriched Britain in many ways, today is an example of that.
We cheated by sending all those people to NZ ages ago who ended up getting good at cricket.
Wow and yeah, i would hope you in a minority of 1.
Being from the same background, really proud to see guys like Moeen and Rashid in the team and play big roles too. Just hope some of our lot can start breaking into football too someday, hopefully in my lifetime.
I wonder what knock on affect for the Ashes this will have. Can't decide if it'll be a good thing, or might make us take our eye off the ball.
Excellently put. In the world we live in today, it's sad to see it's a stick to beat us with.
You think everyone in India has equal opportunities?
Exactly and I love that a traditionally stuffy game and organization select players from different backgrounds to wear the three lions.
