Bit rich coming from the angriest man on here. You are studying in the UK so why not enjoy what the country has to offer and embrace the joy everyone is feeling at the moment instead of trying to justify the failure of India by saying we are lucky.

England deservedly beat India and deservedly won the cup just as India did when they won it a few years ago.

Grow up and learn to take defeats like a man

all I say is that is winning on boundary fair if match is draw and super over is draw. Is that fair result for nz and then umpire make mistake. Is it fair result.

Continue playing until we have difference in run scored in superover, similar to penalties in football, penalty strokes in field hockey and break of serrvie and hold in tennis ( I am not certain they have amended rules to make it tiebreaker in tennis).

Did Federer lost in tiebreak in fifth set yesterday/

Tennis is boring full stop. Cricket super over is like a football Pen shootout.

I wouldn’t mind that but unlike the turnips on here, both teams know the rules before the match is played. NZ needed 16 runs and failed to score them.

There’s no point looking at where NZ were better and picking that as what the rule should be - if that were the case then England would’ve adjusted their game suitably.

Very boring to watch though

First time I have given rating of 1 to any Article.

Gotta feel for New Zealand, but rules are rules, even if they are odd ones.

Choo man, you are great. Don’t listen to the haters.

I think the IPL play offs are nonsense, much prefer a traditional semi final concept.

India were definitely not the best team.

Mixed team comments are quite funny, but at the same time ridiculous.

One thing I do agree with is England lost in that way, our media would’ve cried for centuries, especially after the rules were clarified today. It would’ve been mayhem.

Why can't we all just say that both England and New Zealand played an excellent Cricket match and arguably one of the greatest ODI games of all time, at this stage I can only think of maybe 2 other matches that are right up there, neither team deserved to lose but end of the day there has to be a winner and that was England, yes England had a bit of luck but at the end of the day all teams/players need a bit of luck to win big tournaments. England have also had there fair share of bad luck over the years so for once it's nice for them to get it this time round.
I really hated going to work this morning, it was a day which should have been spent celebrating like crazy, not waking up early and having a boring day!

How about we just agree that no one really won a cricket match yesterday? Eng didn’t win by any wickets and Nz didn’t lose by any runs (these are the 2 parameters a team can win a game of cricket)

This boundary law is as good as playing a game of chess to decide the winner of cricket match. Yes this was the rule and bla bla bla, but how many of the fans actually knew it even existed and that it will ever be used to decide a winner of final WC? Why not who scored the most singles, or who conceded the least dots, or xyz. Yes as you can see this cannot get any more arbitrary.

I think regardless of this ICC should seriously look at this rule again. In a football wc they would carry on with penalty shootout and not declare a winner based on who had the most shots on target or free kicks. Also on another note feels like this deflection rule is also quite stupid. Why should a fielding side be penalised on a deflection from a batsmen.

You are spot on Viru. 2 very poor rules. Why not just have another super over if that one ends in a ‘draw’ - if you can bowl 51 overs you can bowl 52 ffs.... would be surprised if that particular rule isn’t changed for 2023 World Cup.

Absolutely no doubt in my view as a passionate England fan that we were very very lucky yesterday and NZ certainly did not deserve to lose that match, neither team did. But you can't hold a > month long tournament and not have an outright winner so unfortunately a decision made by an ICC committee months ago in a dark room in Dubai to go for boundaries as the tie breaker over lost wickets was what worked in our favour. It could just as easily gone the other way. But the sportsmanship shown by both groups of players really set an example for the rest of the sport to follow.

ICC has come up with some real crap rules in the past. Biggest howler was the way target was reduced in rain interrupted matches in 92 WC, second was home team umpires deputed in test matches but incessant protest by PCB led to change.

Thank you viru and afridi for saying what I am
Saying not clear why other people upset and some Pakistan fan two hahaha
