tolf Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 What a cracking game of cricket! Who would have thought we would have a Super Over to decide the world cup. Great cricket from two world class teams. 🏏 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve (sdh2903) Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Best game of cricket I've ever seen. Well done England. From watching the shambles 4 years ago to winning today. What a turnaround. Even my mrs (who hates cricket) has just been shouting at the telly for the past hour. Well done fellas 🍾 And well done to the kiwis too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Turner - Black Country AO Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 What an afternoon of sport, spent ages flipping between the tennis and the cricket, both decided by the very smallest of margins. Wo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSkyBrad Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Truth be known, NZ let England win because they felt sorry for them having not won a World Cup before.😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonPeffers Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Magical, unbelievable game and I usually can't stand cricket. What a game and great sportsmanship from both teams. How long before cricket gets VAR to assist referees with a fast game and complex rules? Sorry the Kiwis lost and complete gentlemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Malone - Editor Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 What an absolutely amazing spectacle! I was running around like a giddy child when it finished. I'm going to the Old Trafford Ashes match so looking forward to taking some momentum into that. Combined with possibly the best Grand Prix of many years, and an epic Wimbledon mens final, it was quite a day of sport! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfield Chesil Parts Dept Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 The most dramatic sporting final event I have witnessed. Simply amazing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Er, technically we didn't beat them. They scored 15 runs in their super over same as us. Deciding it on number of boundaries scored for me is a bit of a shame but them's the rules. BUT.. it was an epic game of cricket for sure.

But they also lost a wicket in the super over where england didn't. But then again england lost more wickets in the 50 overs. There could have been a dozen ways to decide it half of which could have swung it to NZ. No doubt about it though lady luck was definitly shining on england. The caught ball that the fielder stood on the boundary to give us 6 then the over throws to the boundary to give us another 6 ( letter of law says should have been 5). The one thing that still stands out to me after watching the highlights again yesterday, is despite all the rotten luck is the class of the Kiwis in accepting defeat. I'm not sure other teams or england either would have been quite so gracious and sportsman like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
