@Donsteppa
There were so many moments like that though.That was rather than the non-striker being run out by a deflection, and at what a time...! The joys of sport I suppose...
-
The only consolation is that it was one of the greatest games of one day cricket ever.
Would suck to wake up to that score though.
-
May I say bullshit.
That is all.

That's no consolation to me. Would rather have lost badly than to lose under these circumstances.
-
So proud of the team but gutted to get so close and lose in that manner.
There will be (rightfully) some criticism of the choice of Guptill for the super over. CdH would have been a much better option as he has the ability to bludgeon good balls to the boundary.
-
Previously, matches at the World Cup have been decided by least wickets lost. Under the old rules New Zealand would have won.

To be fair, we saw CdH facing Archer earlier on and all the bludgeoning that was going on was by the bowler. CdH got a hiding.

@mofitzy_ After the 2015 loss, I really did not feel that bad because we were comprehensively spanked. This hurts man, it hurts a lot. We were the better team, but they had the luck (and the umpires), and that's what hurts the most.
-
@Bovidae I don't understand why you would send out the guy who failed in every innings bar one. I mean if he'd scored 70 or 80 today and had turned it around, sure. Neesham was a good choice, but anyone would have been better than Guptill.
-
@Bovidae said in CWC Final - Black Caps v England:
@JC @akan004 I will admit I didn't watch most of the NZ innings so didn't know how CdH batted earlier but Guptill is struggling to hit the ball outside the 30 m circle. There had to be someone other than Guptill.
Agreed it had to be someone else. Either Kane or Taylor would have been a better choice.

Yep I said Neesh and Kane at 6.09am. Guppy's two boundaries from 8 hours earlier shouldn't have taken precedence over Kanes' tournament form and uncanny ability to hit sixes to win games.

@Snowy What's ridiculous is the farking boundaries calculation. Surely the team who lost the least number of wickets wins the match.
Abso-fucking-lutely this is how it SHOULD be decided. Bryan Waddle and Jerry Coney are both tipping up deluxe on radio this morning, and rightly so. Since when are fours and sixes more vaulable than wickets? Duckworth & Lewis principles would have had us wunning this game.
For fucks' sake.
-
It was quite fitting that the guy who made a hash brown of a review should be run out to lose the match.
Tremendous game though. Maybe the greatest ever I can recall. Gutted and proud all at the same time. We were incredibly unlucky today.
No consolation but funny when all and sundry were collapsing around him, A kiwi pulled them through. Super mental strength by Stokes.
I really am gutted but what a game of cricket. Happy enough for England too.
-
Hard to stomach that given it was technically a draw ,
At least with 2015 you could say we were shit, they outplayed us ,we didn’t deserve it
Fuck , fuckety, fuck
-
@akan004 said in CWC Final - Black Caps v England:
@shark Apparently it used to be the least number of wickets lost in previous WCs. Just our luck that the fluffybunnies changed the rules for this WC.
You're kidding?? Ouch.

I really feel for Guppy. That was a truly cruel end to the tournament for him. But he did waste that review with Nicholls' assistance, and this probably (Taylor may have been out next ball anyway) contributed to the eventual loss. Then to be asked to squeeze out two runs minimum off the last ball of a super over to win the match was tough. The skipper was a much better bet to partner Neesham in that over.

I agree but they would have had a hell of a team meeting with coaches as well to determine who should be out there. I tend to agree with Ian Smith that they need two players that could engineer power off that deck.
I'm not disappointed with the decision for those two to be chosen. (Still doesn't help with getting over the loss)
How unlucky were we with that ricochet? That was the turning point of the end there.

So who else is bleeding out the eyeballs at work today after a marathon effort last night?
-
Not having it.
We won the 50 over contest by virtue of less wickets lost.
Bah humbug

I couldn't do it. Watched briefly up until Guptill's dismissal, then went to bed and switched my phone to airplane mode. Woke up just after 6am, assuming the game should be over & switched my phone back on, saw on Stuff that it had gone to a super over then checked 20 mins to see that we'd lost.
If I really wanted to be put through the emotional wringer, I'll just go on a few more dates with Tinder girls.
-
I accept we didn’t win the World Cup.
I don’t accept losing the match.
Unfortunately, that’s the rules we, and England, signed up to.
Hurts,life.
-
guptil picked up 3 runs ? by turning ones into twos. still big call i wouldnt have wanted to make it.i might have sent in tayler

Bah humbug
I agree with this.
Runs
Wickets
Boundaries
If those don't separate you, THEN have a Super Over, because it's like dropgoals for Rugby tie breakers. -

Dragging myself to the office now, it’s going to be a long day
-
What a gut wrenching way to lose. Overthrows off the bat that wouldn't have been taken except for it trickling to the boundary and then most boundaries as the tie breaker.
-
Our dial in meeting has been postponed which might alleviate the mood somewhat.
Hey, better England than India or Australia right ?
-
I'm not feeling down on the game since we didn't lose the match nor did England win. And neither did Australia or India so that's good too.
But there will be an * next to the 2019 CWC winner's name stating *drawn final with New Zealand.

@Sneakdefreak wouldnt have been if we had won
