A champagne super over in London, that strange comforting familiarity of feeling absolutely awful watching England do something you had always hoped they might.
There were scoring rates from the late 1990s and an innings perfectly pitched to that fragile, panicked era of England one-day batting, as if the cavalier swordsmen of the current team had been replaced by a cricketing historical re-enactment society. The 50th over began at 6.25. 15 runs required. Two balls later, 15 needed from four, and then, in two balls and four minutes, came 12 impossible runs.England get freak six runs after incredible Stokes deflection
At some distant forgotten point in the afternoon the hero was going to be Liam Plunkett until it was Colin de Grandhomme, at least until Jos Buttler took over, and then the super over began and it was suddenly Stokes until it was Buttler, except it was then Jimmy Neesham and then Jofra Archer and then Jason Roy and Buttler all over again.
You felt like putting an arm around the new devotees in the giddy aftermath. It's not always like this. But it can do exactly this to you.
Don’t worry BLACKCAPS. ECB_cricket will never will able to tell by how many runs or wickets they “WON” the cricket World Cup final of 2019
Isn't 241 for 8 a better score than 241 all out?
England didn’t win the game! At no point did they beat the black caps!They were handed the game on boundaries.the media need to understand that! Stop twisting the wording of the out come to make it look one sided. You’re wrecking a great game of cricket
But it was a draw?😕
The two guys at the end legging it from the champagne was funny......Exit screen left 📽📺🎞🥂🍾🍹🍾
Awesome job!! 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
ı preffer a scoth whiskey to celebrate
Give over..! Nobody knew what a ‘super over’ was until tonight... or that there was a rule 6..! Hardly convincing is it given that England were odds on to romp it and batted like I would.
Engerlund didn’t win, a team of people made up from various different countries of birth won.
Did they really beat NZ to win the cup?
Stupid rule made Eng winners not champions
or....'An hour of extraordinary luck ends in consultation of the fine print in the rule book' is probably more accurate.
Well done!
Ok. I'll play along. Who did they beat?
