[Cricket] Cricket World Cup Final: ENGLAND v New Zealand *** Official Match Thread ***

[Happy Exile]

Interesting how much the immense pressure showed on the faces of the players too. Not just Stokes and his exhaustion but Archer in that final over too who did an incredible job overcoming the tension written all over his face. I don't remember anything similar being so transparently obvious in football.

Good job they allowed it to be shown on C4 as most would have missed it

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.

Alphabetical.

Alphabetical.

It was because we scored more boundaries. Assume you are winding BG up however!

I didn't even know I liked cricket

I have no interest in Cricket but respect those who do.

I was in the garden and the noise emanating from the cricket club around 1/4 mile away suggested a win ! I am sure that all you Seagull followers of "the summer game" have had a great, if nerve wracking day. Enjoy your celebrations.

That was the result. The super overs were drawn.

I thought New Zealand had it in the bag in the last over. Bet lost. Roll on the footy season.

I feel for New Zealand, extremely unlucky, and didn’t deserve to lose.


It will be a huge consolation to the Kiwis to know they are not Aussies.

I immediately think of pro golfers, especially when in the mix at Majors, or playing the Ryder Cup.

The world watching one person at each shot.

Takes a special person.

Stokes will be off on a right bender later. Hope he behaves himself!

 

[Wellesley]

Boring cricket though innit?

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Off to the pub for a celebratory tipple.

 

[Winker]

Was that a Champagne Superover in the sky?

 

[Mayonaise]

That was unreal!

As long as he doesn't go to Bristol

England actually won on boundaries scored.

I'm still exhausted just from watching, how the players coped with the tension and pressure I have no idea, but that's why they are champions.
