Hmm. Most amusing 😤
To be honest I never felt we’d posted a big enough total to defend against your boys and even with 57 off 24 I wasn’t counting my chickens. Once Neesham had taken 23 off Jordan’s over I felt the game was up.
Bloody good batting from Neesham and Mitchell but kudos also for restricting a very dangerous England batting line up to 166.
Question for Eoin Morgan though: why leave probably our most destructive batsman to come in at 5 when we’re already going so slow?

Haven't read the thread but assume that most were like me, nothing was a given until that last shot. What a rollercoaster ride made more awesome by the good guys winning.
Didn't even need to take the 'unfair' run on offer which was the icing on the cake.
#stillbitter but that sweetened things slightly

I'm going to take some credit for staying up last night and watching the replay of the 2015 CWC NZ v ENG game.
Man, I had almost forgotten what a complete and utter reaming that was. The Tim and Baz show. Crazy crazy stuff and I decided that it was a good omen.

I didn't dare post for the last 20 minutes of that for fear of somehow jinxing that comeback
We all have our way of contributing.

It's our way. Despite well over a decade of the best cricket I can remember. We still have the 90's - 2010ish etched into our memory.
To be fair, it did look absolute pants in our innings up until about three and a half overs to go...

And even then we were in 'trip over the last hurdle' territory.
When Satnav ended up on strike I had all sorts of bad thoughts.

Absolutely!!!
Even with 4 remaining, I was still worried. Those last two overs though! FREAK!!

Always been a fan of the Neesh.
Can someone tell him to give test cricket a go now that CDGH has gone though ?

He's a funny bastard. Wish more cricketers had a personality.

He can play too. Better than any Aussie all rounder currently.
Sorry, that was a bit of a @Virgil thing to say.
