I didn't dare post for the last 20 minutes of that for fear of somehow jinxing that comeback
Cricket, bloody hell.

Yuss!!!
Sir Daryl Mitchell!!!
I have no idea how we did that with an over to spare, but bloody good!
Cueball, all is forgiven. Thank you for siring Sir Daryl.
P.S. Round here most of us blame Deans for 2003 anyway.

Do we want the pakis or the Aussies in the final??
Weirdly, Aussie for me. They seem the weaker of the two over there.
Agreed and I would really love to actually win a big match against them for once

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.

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 ?
