Wow that was good, beating the Aussies is always great but demolishing them like that feels incredible. :brill:

Really wasn’t expecting it to be that easy in the end, what a great feeling. I know the final is FTA but where? Still on one of the Sky channels?

Really looking forward to Sunday now

well it's never easy with us is it? Should have bet NZ when we were massive odds on, we always find a way to blow it.

Wouldn't be England without tension and a little self implosion... let's just hope we don't also get the 'inevitable disappointment' bit too.

Get in there!! What an absolutely incredible game. Hats off to both teams, amazing sporting drama.

Brilliant to see the culmination of 4 years work come to this for England.

Was loads about for £350-£500 around the ground. Quality ending, feels very harsh on New Zealand losing on less boundaries, technically we were all out too although we wouldnt have gone for two if that mattered. Great for stokes too after kolkata.

Yeah I thought New Zealand were really unlucky with how good they bowled and then that one that hit Stokes bat and went for 6.
I thought Archer came back brilliantly too in that super over because when he went for 6 I thought it was done.

Chose a good day (tournament) to get in to this 'cricket' people speak of.

Surprised myself at how gripped I was and was rather emotional at the end. Sensational viewing.

All the breaks that seem to go against England in the footie went their way today, that's for sure.

Tie the game and then tie the tiebreaker- gotta be the most ridiculous game of all time! Utterly amazingly absurd.

What a moment. Only watched it back the 10 times or so, sure I'll top that up over the next few days. Great throw, and what a bit of work by Buttler as well! That was so easily fuckupable.

And when the chips are down, Stokes is just the man.

Aussie saying we got an extra run which wasn't allowed .

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport

Well I am not sure New Zealand winning would have been any better for them!

But it also means Rashid would have been in bat, who's to say he wouldnt have hit the 4 required to win or got out then wood hit the 4, we will never know and quite frankly I dont care. One thing in cricket that needs addressing is with the reviews regarding the umpires call scenario, Jason Roy was out plumb lbw 1st ball, it shouldn't be an umpires call, hes out simple as that. I personally think every wicket given out by an umpire should automatically be reviewed to make sure its correct, then as a bowling side you get say 3 reviews to question an umpires decision if hes given not out.

That could get tiresome I think, you could potentially be having about 6-8 reviews every innings.

They dont take long, they are literally done by time the player has walked off, they dont slow it down really at all.

Thinking back to the match, if Hollywood screenwriters had come up with a movie like that, most of us would have said, " nah never happen" !
Fantastic brilliant game!!!!!

Can’t say am surprised, our Test match batting has been abysmal for a long time now. This is a new low though.

How typically English.

Can we get Alistair Cook out of retirement - that would be a start!

I presume the heat has got to their heads...or in some cases the partying!

So it turns out the answer to our top order issues is Jack Leach. Great knock from him, doubt he’ll ever have done this before in his life.
