CWC Final - Black Caps v England

[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).

Worst would be if it was that deflection that got them ahead by one!
