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

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.
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?
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.

Not having it.
We won the 50 over contest by virtue of less wickets lost.
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. -

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
