My posts were aimed at the Indian posters who made questionable remarks towards the England team. Some even made it pretty clear they 'hate' some of the England players.
The posts in question are in this thread over a span of a few weeks.

Stokes probably had a hard-on throughout that innings, so would have definitely gone for 4 if it hit him there
But yes it's a nonsense rule. No further runs should be allowed if a throw hits a batsmen. Wait, that could actually also become a loophole for the fielding team to exploit?
Thats why i was saying bat. It so regularly hits the person and not the bat so I have no issue if that had hit stokes and gone for four, but the bat is as hard to hit at the stumps if not harder because its a moving target so teams would never opt for it.
Ben Stokes though.
What a gutsy, brave incredible performance.
He's a legend now forever.

It was a joke at it's coming home as the trophy was already in england(home).
Yes
Absolutely insane . I woke up at 7 and started listening to BBC 5 live from lords . Felt absolutely dead when Morgan got out and then that crazy finish. Till the end of the game I didn't know anything about the tennis . Now I heard that United have agreed a deal for McGuire a few hours back . Still buzzing so much . I need more content . When India won it in 2011 I lived in India and there was so much content but not much here sadly
There is a World Cup. And it produces a winner. They are the best.
Everything else after that is salt, whinging, ifs, buts and maybe’s.
That’s it.
What? When did I switch allegiances?Then you also have the likes of @ayushreddevil9 who've actually switched allegiancesNot saying that in a negative way either.
P.S this is my first post in this forum
By the way, giving Williamson the player of the tournament sounds like a similar thing as was done with Messi in Brazil 2014.
He’s the ultimate competitor, you just know even after that over in the 20/20 final there was no way he wasn’t going to back himself to bat the super over.
Honestly, I laid into him in the IPL but his tournament was simply incredible and showed the world a different side to him. Great for him after all hes been through.
What’s so funny? I was at Nou camp and I was at Lords today. Today was beyond nuts. And the double ending is what made it historic and unique
your issue is you have no emotional investment in the winners and that is clouding your empathy .
I cant imagine sport getting any better than this, even for a neutral.

Stokes would probably not have run if the ball hadn't gone for 4 even though I think that he should have. As long as it's not your fault it's completely fair to run imo .
Yep, it’s up there. One of the best sporting days of my life honestly.
Happy he got his rewards today, two amazing innings of the top of my head this world cup( Lanka and this)
Can you imagine the bitterness when we retain the World Cup in India in 2023. It’s going to be sweet.
He actually had 5 scores of 50+ in the tournament and every single one came in a tough situation.
Yes, but both of us are utd fans.
It would be interesting to see whether other english citizens who are also utd fans think the same as you.
Need to find spinners for that
Are there any sports India are actually good at anymore?
And Sachin in 03 WC
Wickets doesn’t count for more because that’s the rules. Said it numerous times this World Cup, people are making out that it’s England’s fault for weird rules, like the lack of extra days for rain. All the countries know the format going in, if it’s such an issue then try and change it beforehand, not after because a team you don’t like benefited from it. It’s definitely not suspect that you think the only category NZ could win with today is the right one.
Plus, you just lost a test series to us, a ODI series, lost to us in the WC, and got knocked by a team who everyone claimed was weak. But I’m glad you’re clinging onto the fact that someone else might just do what India couldn’t.
Group stage exit for England. I can already see it
Definitely. New Zealand players conducted themselves very well given the circumstances. Can't even begin to fathom how Kohli and certain Indian posters on here would have reacted.
If anyone wondered why Indian cricket fans get eye rolls.
England just won the world cup against New Zealend in an incredible game and the biggest maoners are your usual Indian cricket fans

You were lucky to be there, story to tell the grand kids, or in this day and age bring it up on YouYube and tell them you were there.
Kohli and that arse licker Shastri are the reason India fecked up
Well played Ben Stokes, deserved to be on the winning side after not be rewarded for his performances in vain vs Australia & Sri Lanka. An area England need to improve is strike rotation to hit 8 more boundaries and still need an super over, shows how much better New Zealand were in that aspect.
Certainly not any winter sports. Their saltines would melt the ice.
He does have emotional investment in England, he hates them
That was some finale. Had to keep switching over the cricket and tennis.
That would imply we were good at a sport before this.
It's gonna be so lovely to be World Champions.
I used to think it'd never happen for us.
We finally did it.

more of this, please.It was particularly bad today , even when Stokes & Buttler were well settled they could only manage 6 or 7 in overs despite hitting boundaries because they just played so many dots
