Stokes man of the match for me

Oh my my my...Kiwis were so unlucky.

The overthrow 6 and the rule that level was a loss.
Feels not right somehow.

Not complaining obviously, but shouldn’t the team who’ve lost less wickets win if the scores are level?

The tournament rules say different

I think whoever finishes higher in the group should win if it's a tie. Which would have been England...

[Richard E]

Whichever team’s name sounds closest to ‘England’ should win.

The Wikipedia page listing cricket world cup finals and how they were won has already been amusingly edited.

He deserves a sword touch on each shoulder.

Kane Williamson is one classy guy, it’s always such a pleasure to play the Kiwis because they play the game hard but fair and always within the spirit of the game.

Imagine the reaction of the Aussies if that 6 had been given against them!

Begrudgery at its finest.

Indeed. It’s a weird winning rule.

To be fair, if you're replying to a c**t like that it's probably hard to be magnanimous.

Amusingly?

Thought I'd seen most things in sport, but the last over and the super over was unbelievable,  sport at its best.

I hope Andrew Strauss takes over from Trevor Bayliss after the Ashes. 

What an amazing game, I doubt we will see another like it.

I occasionally post on an Aussie cricket forum and for such a successful sporting nation they are incredibly bitter.  It's one thing being a sore loser when you've lost a final but being a sore loser when you weren't even in the final is taking it to the next level.

Not for me.  Strauss is an administrator at heart.
