So who'll be buying one of these shirts in the very near future?

My God, the stones on Jofra Archer to bowl the super over!
Wait until the Australians discover he's an even better red ball bowler.
Sadly, don't think we'll see anything of him in Sussex colours this season, and he's sorely missed.

Yes, that would be quite a logical way to do it, I suppose - but then again, it would be a bit like deciding football cup matches on most corners rather than having penalties.
I love that the England players’ kids were running around Lord’s outfield like it was Lewes Priory or Ditchling and their dads were just in the bar.

Astounding day of cricket. Thankfully available to watch for free. Shame the Ashes won’t be.
England World Cup Final wins; extra time after Russian Linesman, drop kick in last minute, golden over after fluke overthrows. Someone needs to tell Southgate that if we ever get to a final we need to draw after 90 minutes and then aim long shots at Harry Kane’s backside

If the rules were different the two run outs at the end may not have happened though

What about the moment when Trent Boult caught Stokes on the boundary but trod on the rope? He bats that back to his teammate half a second earlier they win the World Cup. The Ross Taylor and Jason Roy lbw decisions too. England had the luck today but I think English sport deserved it.

Also this. Without opening up other debates the idea that women’s football is free on the BBC and CWC and The Ashes isn’t is the wrong way round. At least the final was free on terrestrial. My son was riveted and now wants to play

Christ, that was some match! Only just calmed down enough to type. Huge Kudos to both teams. What a game!

Wow a sport ' I was there' moment, only I was not....i was at home watching the goggle box, how exciting was THAT!
Was in the Tavern stand away from me, but quite a few singing it with “going up to win the cup” words. When Archer has his first over

In my total ignorance, I actually thought that we'd lost when they took our 10th wicket with that runout. I didn't even know "super overs" existed. Never seen it.
That was probably the greatest sporting theatre I have ever seen. Utterly incredible.
