CWC Final - Black Caps v England

[Rembrandt]

but what a final

[akan004]

Proud of the boys.

[Frank]

Shit

[Donsteppa]

Oh for fucks sake.

[No Quarter]

Deciding a WC on who hit the most boundaries is pretty bloody absurd.

[Tim]

Williamson should've put himself in there.

[Chris B.]

Great game lads.

Well played. History will remember some extraordinary bad luck that stopped us.

Well done England.

[reprobate]

well, that is quite the pile of shit.

[Tim]

Stupid rule, fuck that.

[No Quarter]

They didn't win the game but they win the WC.

[Paekakboyz]

Well shit. Epic game. Massive moments and the rub of the green was against us. Showed the doubters that we were worthy contenders though

[akan004]

Fate was on their side

[Derm McCrum]

Great game for the neutral. What a cliffhanger - a margin of 6 inches or so.

Congrats England.
Commiserations NZ.

Absolutely. Since when has Guppy ever been clutch with the bat this tournament.

@Chris-B well said ,congratulations England, commiserations to our boys..so gutted for them..it’s almost like all the luck went England’s way today..but man alive I don’t think you will see a World Cup final in any sport with this sort of drama...absolutely unbelievable..!..so disappointed for our guys ,but extremely proud of our team..!

[No Quarter]

Winning a WC without winning the final. Has that ever happened in any other sport? Just seems insane.

[Chris B.]

@No-Quarter Wait till you see the drop goal rule come into play... do they still have that?

[Sneakdefreak]

A joke of a way to end the greatest ODI ever in history.

Technically the rules were known in advance but they are silly rules. 2 draws - should have been another super over at least.

Agreed. It should have come down to best finish in round robin (which was also England).
