Congrats on your golf bet mate.

I think Cricket in general was the biggest winner last night. NZ did themselves proud and so gracious in defeat and are a credit to their Nation.. Lots of key elements in that match that could have swung victory either way.
Stokes' 6 after running for two then the ball being thrown at the wicket and deflecting off his bat and then hitting the boundary with 3 runs left was a big one of those

They also could have played another super over but they all knew the rules

A streaker tried to get on yesterday but this fat fuck stopped her

Apparently, it was the mum of the streaker from the European Cup final.

Imagine meeting those 2 in a bar?

All. Night. Long.

Well that was that then, quite unbelievable. Congrats to England.

The boys didn't capitulate at all and, heart broken as they undoubtedly are, did themselves proud.

I'm half Italian, half Irish, half Mexican, but that's got nothing to do with the fact that it would seem fairer to have played on till there was a winner (like Tennis, who don't do a count-back to see who served the most Aces sort of thing). Anyways, thems are the rules.

**Dillinger** · 15-07-2019, 07:37 AM

^^ look and learn Aussies.

Unlucky mate, they may not have won the cup but they sure would have won everyone's hearts after that performance and ending.... especially after being writ off before the semi against India.

Hope you win the next one.

What gets me about New Zealand cricket teams, espesh the 1 day side, is that they're constantly touted as underdogs. They're not.

Now, don't get me wrong, for a nation of a few million you do very well in the sports you play, but considering the NZ cricket side have had good teams and players for as long as I've been watching cricket (Hadlee, Crowe, Cairns, McCullum etc) while appearing in the last 2 finals together with 6 other semi final appearances of the 12 times the World Cup has been played, this "underdog" tag the press peddles is wearing a bit thin now...

Me too but I probably would've clambered on and off the Black Craps bandwagon at least 321 times by then.

RWC to look forward to now. Not long!

Yeah I get what you're saying. It might be more accurate to say that they play above their weight for what they do have.

Cricket is actually a relatively small sport in what is a small country with only six professional teams to select from.

This WC should give the game a boost though and that can only be a good thing.

**Dillinger** · 15-07-2019, 07:51 AM

I see England are second favourites for that Rugby World Cup

What do you reckon HW?

I've had enough palpatations for a while but I'll come along and let you repay the sledging

The convicts are 16-1

People are saying the same in England too about the game. It's probably number 3 after the egg-chasing at number 2, which you may know something about.

Bloody good side NZ in this format though. It made me fucking wince reading some of the comments about not taking you too lightly when, in all honesty, the NZ players would have been within their rights to say that about us in the build up.

Anyway, finally a World Cup. Can't wait for the football one in Qatar in 2022; I've already ordered tickets for me and Luigi. We're gonna be sat next to each other when Harry goes up to lift the cup.

Watching the highlights is almost enough to make me want to watch Lancashire at an empty Old Trafford in April and May next year when my hands have turned blue and I'm taking cover from hailstone and rain.

Almost.

I reckon that anyone who bets on Rugby Union is insane. Cvnt of a sport, you'd go spare watching a game with money on it and your team drops the ball 5 times, gives away 8 penalties, throws 7 forward passes, misses 9 tackles, and stand around looking at one another for a combined 30 mins, all before half time. No thanks.

Are you familiar with the name Anthony Martial?

What an amazing final. Hope everyone's blood pressure and pulse has returned to somewhere near normal this morning..

Brilliant fielding and bowling from both sides, the luck and extraordinary ending going to England. Felt for the Black Caps at the end, sucks to lose like that.

Just watched the highlights, was a bit overwhelming at the time last night (I must be becoming an even bigger wuss...), and the Kiwi MotM played superbly, but was fortunate with a couple of those 6s; stepping on the rope incident and backhand volley to boundary incident. To be fair to him, he has batted long and tried to get England through in a couple of the other games without much support (a couple of 90s, I think), and last night he juuuuuuuuust got to the line.

England did well to come through and win; just about held their nerve under immense pressure when other England teams have collapsed.

I misjudged the NZ team, they were right up there with England as the best team in the tournament; they play an unusual style, a bit different from the modern game smashing it around, they concentrate on their bowling/fielding effort and keeping the other side down to a low score, and they do it really well. You gotta feel sorry for them, played very well and got as close as you can get without winning; I would absolutely love to see a similar situation in the rugby WC final; I'd give up the wife (but not the puppy) for such a result...

Sometimes, a rare moment in sport that will be played over decades occurs (often we claim such things, but with so much sport being played all the time these 'special' moments are lost in a few days/weeks), and I think Stoke's backhand volley to the boundary is one of those - an amazing state of affairs.

I don't know if this is legit or not but it's very fucking funny if it is:

**Troy** · 15-07-2019, 05:01 PM

I missed the match deciding over. The end of normal overs was enough for me. Pleased to see England won as I think they deserved it, most enjoyable games throughout the tournament.

Well done to NZ for making a real game of the final.

don't blame you Troy, excitement is a cruel mistress.

Cricket World Cup: Umpire Simon Taufel says England incorrectly awarded run in final win over New Zealand

Ben Stokes apologises after ricochet for four more runs

The ICC has refused to be drawn into the furore surrounding the overthrows rule and whether England was incorrectly awarded an extra run in the World Cup final.

Key points:

England was awarded six runs for an overthrow when the ball hit Ben Stokes's bat and went to the boundary
England finished the game with the same number of runs as New Zealand
England won the World Cup after a tied super over

In a match shrouded in drama, England scored six from the third-last ball, when a throw from Martin Guptill rebounded off a diving Ben Stokes's bat to the boundary.

It helped England tie the match, before a super over was also tied and it was handed the trophy over New Zealand on a boundary countback.
The umpires, Sri Lankan Kumar Dharmasena and Marais Erasmus from South Africa, awarded six as Stokes and Adil Rashid were returning for their second run when the overthrow was made.

However, it has since emerged that under Law 19.8, extra runs are only awarded if the batsmen have crossed when the ball is thrown, which was not the case on Sunday.

ICC Rule 19.8: Overthrow or wilful act of fielder

If the boundary results from an overthrow or from the wilful act of a fielder, the runs scored shall be:

any runs for penalties awarded to either side
and the allowance for the boundary
and the runs completed by the batsmen, together with the run in progress if they had already crossed at the instant of the throw or act.

It means that England should only have received five runs off the delivery, leaving it with four to win off two balls.

Crucially, it also would have seen number 10 Rashid on strike for the next ball, rather than the in-form Stokes.
