Dame Kiri Te Kanawa...

...errrrr

...your boys took one hell of a beating.

That Stokes deflection.... it was in the lap of the gods.

Such a shame that luck played a huge part. Much like the tennis, both deserved to win.

How does the super over work as I didnt watch it as I didnt know that it existed and switched over to warch the end of the tennis. I assumed NZ had won by losing less wickets to get their score.

Need to remember your name & pretty much ignore everything you say. Pitiful troll. Howzat?

Fine by me. Thought we had bottled it and we were mentally lucky but we were excellent in the super overs.

Feel free to ignore

Just out of interest, has the super over ever been used before? It was certainly a new one on me.

Absolutely heartbroken. As a half New Zealander that was the bitterest of pills. Well done England, cricket, what a game it is.

New Zealand were superb. It is sad someone had to lose. It's not often you see two sides so evenly matched on the day.

If there has ever been a greater game of limited over cricket I haven't seen it. Wow just wow...

The most unbelievable and brilliant thing I’ve ever seen in sport. At no point before or during this World Cup did I think we would win it. I didn’t think we had the mentality. I didn’t even think we were much of a contender. Even today there was no point where I believed. But when the pressure was at its most intense we actually delivered, both in the last couple of overs of the normal match and the super over. Thank god the key moments fell to two of our biggest talents and two of our strongest minds. Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer, no matter where your careers take you, you are English cricket legends

I usually find myself agreeing with your posts, but today you gave up way too soon! You weren't the only one to be fair.

Willow your country are an absolute pride to you, it was close, it could have gone either way, but feel proud mate.

 

[ManOfSussex]

Ian Smith said on commentary - in 300 years of cricket that was the greatest game of cricket. Difficult to argue with that.

That was just nuts. Utterly crazy and utterly brilliant. Never mind cricket, that was just a sporting contest like no other.

If you're only half a New Zealander surely you're only half heart broken
