England didn't just simply win a World Cup. England became the first country in history to have won the football, rugby and cricket world cups.
Kinda helps that we invented them tbf

It’s 8am, I’ve had a few hours sleep, I’d like to get a few hours more. It’s a shame we didn’t win it would have been nice but oh well life goes on. To be honest I didn’t think we’d make the final so it was an impressive effort. Enjoy the victory. Finally somethings fucking coming home.You may not get this - apologies - but I suspect that Mr @Barmy_in_Palmy is sitting alone somewhere playing "Seasons in the Sun" on a permanent loop ...

That rule is a joke
I would expect the team chasing to have more boundaries given they would be going for it...
There are certainly some rules in cricket that could be tightened up...
Just wear your chains and move along.And I'm critiquing your poor "support".
Being an ex-pat Aussie I don't have skin in this game but having watched one of the great sporting spectacles it really pisses me off that you get to feel the happiness associated with what Joffrey Archer just achieved for you. You called him pathetic. And he made you look like a fucking gimp
Just apologise and move on, mate. And don't be so shit in future.
I'd have clapped whatever the outcome. Magnificent, irresistible, call it what you will. What a match. And played with style.I can’t even put into words what I witnessed today.
That will never happen again, I’ve got that summer of 2005 feeling back!
Agree. As much as I'm glad we won it does seem incredibly harsh on NZ. So we had equal run totals but they did it with wickets to spare so surely that is a better tiebreaker than how many boundaries you hit, which is a completely arbitrary statistic in comparison. It's like deciding who wins the football world cup based on how many corners each team had or something stupid.
Pathetic? they deserve it and someThe only thing this world cup delivered that I didn't approve of was booing of Smith/Warner. Pathetic.
Why, pray tell?Pathetic? they deserve it and some

NZ won it but didn't, not a moan , not a word of dissent. The perfect enemy.
