Wow unbelievable. Well done England. Hard luck NZ. Will surely go down as possibly the most nail biting final ever in World Cup cricket.
Not quite a choke. Even had they lost they didn’t choke shame it can’t be shared when it’s so close but what a great final
Feel sorry for the Kiwis, especially after that accidental 6. Plus they got their total with one wicket less than us.
Fantastic win for England but feel for NZ who were also beaten finalists 4 years ago. I know Stokes didn't mean it but when we got 6 off that Boult delivery (when it would have been 2) then it did seem a tad unfair although it's nice to have some luck for a change.
The accidental 6 was unfortunate I’ve always thought when a throw deflects off the batsman it should become a dead ball Don’t know what would have happened had we needed 7 of the last 2 instead of 3 we might still have done it as Stokes would have had to go big again The last wicket though is a bit different I’m sure if wickets had been important England would only have taken 1. They wouldn’t have taken 2 if they had batted first. I do feel sorry for New Zealand (wouldn’t have done had it been the Aussies ) it’s like losing on Penalties happened enoughto us in other sports so glad that for once we are the beneficiaries
Must have been about 8 times I said "we've lost now" sport gives us drama that fiction just can't match.
Completely agree, any other team would've been more amused! Still can't believe how fantastic these last few hours have been!!!
