I wonder why NZ didn't pick De Grandhomme to bowl the super-over, he was easily their most economical bowler in the 50 overs.
Had to go with Boult. England history with left armers and think he is rated no 1 or 2 in the world in 50 over cricket.I wonder why NZ didn't pick De Grandhomme to bowl the super-over, he was easily their most economical bowler in the 50 overs.
It was amazing. Great tennis final - felt sorry for Federer, felt sorry for Kiwis in the cricket, and Hamilton winning. What a day for sport.
At his pace in one over he’d have been smacked around.I wonder why NZ didn't pick De Grandhomme to bowl the super-over, he was easily their most economical bowler in the 50 overs.
Incredible, wasn't it?Speechless
Woakes hits the top of off again and again. He has nagging consistency but it's easier to put away when you know you're facing 6 balls of it. Think Plunkett would have got the over for his variations if Archer had said no.Must confess I was a bit puzzled that Woakes didn't get to bowl the super over.
Massive responsibility on Archer. Felt that Archer was more likely to bowl wides and the odd bad ball and that Woakes would be more economical.
Well the tournament has been fantastic. I’ve been to 5 games. Brilliant atmosphere, great organisation at every ground I’ve been and just a superb 7 weeks
Yeah, fair point.Woakes hits the top of off again and again. He has nagging consistency but it's easier to put away when you know you're facing 6 balls of it. Think Plunkett would have got the over for his variations if Archer had said no.
Have to confess, it came to the super over and I put it on pause and went out and walked the dog to calm down.Think my heart rate is just about back to normal. What a game.
Today was a bit easier than working out Duckworth and Lewis! lolThe rules are a bit barmy!!

NFL comes up with grandstand finishes like that.I had to go for a walk and calm down! It was incredible, it had everything, massive drama, controversy and great spirit. You don’t get that ‘countdown’ style drama anywhere.
Followed English cricket for about 15 years now and seen some dross and highs but never seen a team with this attacking strength and belief.
One happy but emotionally drained person tonight!
It does indeed. Quite often too.NFL comes up with grandstand finishes like that.
The fielder wouldn’t have caught it as it’s against the spirit of the game just as Stokes wouldn’t have made the runs. Only got extra runs as it made the boundary. Completely freak event.So regarding that incident where the fielder threw the ball and it bounced off Stokes' bat to go for four more runs, if the ball had bounced up off his bat and been caught by a fielder, would he have been out caught?
Never watched it so don’t care!NFL comes up with grandstand finishes like that.
Feels like I’m in the minority on this one...And England win the World Cup of the most confusing sport ever...
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.Feels like I’m in the minority on this one...
that is alongside Botham and Willis at Headingley as the 2 most exciting cricket games ive seen - excellentBrilliant tension ! first free to view game in years - great competition - now what the fuck am i going to do during the day
In and out, got it.You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!
Baseball umpires>Cricket umpires.There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
Tell him baseball would never exist without this 'novelty' sport.The main problem with cricket is it's only played by a small subset of the countries in the world.
Can you really call yourself 'world champions' of a sport most countries in the world don't play or have never heard of?
I've tried to explain it to the American guy who sits next to me at work.
I told him the USA actually has a national cricket team.
But he considers it a novelty sport and has no real interest in learning about it.
