Come on England, come on

[Wingnut]

Get it there. OMG what a game!!!

[SP]

Yes!

Well played NZ.

[Woolly Mammoth]

Well played England, we came back from the dead, World Champions, Get in there.  Astonishing pure theatre. It's a shame somebody had to lose.

[filham]

Well I am one of those old farts who from time to time remember things as they used to be and wish we could return to the good old days.
I never ever thought cricket could be so exciting, so thrilling and all involved did so well, even sky.

[Holders]

What an amazing game and hard luck NZ.

[Twig]

Well done England but a really tough way to lose. I suppose there has to be a winner but to my mind they shared the spoils.

[fulhamben]

Stokes is a god

[Holders]

Well done England but a really tough way to lose. I suppose there has to be a winner but to my mind they shared the spoils.

In the circumstances, it feels quite a hollow victory, tbh.

And Lewis Hamilton wins at Silverstone and Novak Djokovic wins Wimbledon men's  tennis final.
Fantastic game of tennis one if the best between two greats.

[ffc73]

G8 we won but... as NZ lost less wickets in their 50 overs why did they not win?

Ok, yes I get it because them the rules but just seems odd

Not hollow for me, I'll take our good fortune as its a fine line between success & failure.

None finer but as FFC73 says above, NZ lost less wickets.

It's funny that although I was on the edge of my seat during the final overs shoot out I could not help thinking of the six where the NZ player caught the ball and the stepped back over the boundary, and that six including four overthrows deflected off Ben Stokes body.
Both within the laws of the game but oh so unfortunate for NZ.

Not for me it was a great performance by Stokes and Butler  well done England

Thought the Stokes deflection was off the bat when he was diving to stay in, which makes it that bit more fortunate.

I was made to watch the tennis which was a fabulous game but was following the cricket on the iPad and got to watch the super over. What a great day of sport especially with Hamilton winning the Grand Prix. Hopefully next season will equally as exciting and fulfilling as today  049:gif

[Nasty Neil]

I sometimes wonder why some people follow sports yes it was a fine performance by NZ, but can't people enjoy England winning, enough people rejoice when we dont

[ffcne]

NZ must be very proud of Ben Stokes.
