Sick of this hysterical whipping up of the crowd by the PA announcer, or is it someone in the crowd with a big megaphone? It’s more Lahore than Melbourne
Not really, we can push singles even if they do get a couple more wickets. Tbf to Pakistan, they made it closer than I thought they would.
Well deserved by our history makers and with a few players missing as well in Wood and Malan. Credit to Pakistan also. The 4-3 series in Pakistan and now this final have all been great. They don't earn the money the players of Australia and India do, so a final is decent.
So difficult to pick an england player of the tournament. I'll throw Curran out there. But many brilliant individual performances. None more so than Rashid in the last few games. Edit Curran Just been named Player of the tournament.
It’s been a good tournament in spite of rain ( helps when we win ) The final had the rare occurrence of being bowler dominated so it was a great advert for the game. The fans were brilliant from all countries
Stokes. His best days are ahead of him. All the nay sayers above are eating their words I expect. One of the best to pull on an England shirt.
Had some luck with Afridi’s injury, but still impressive to win a world cup final without Malan, Bairstow, Archer, Topley and Wood available
