Amazing, what a finish. Waited so long for that. Let's win the Ashes now ?
Spot on summary ^ of what will go down as the greatest CWC final ever (IMO)What a great game of cricket! New Zealand played there part, and I thought Williamson got his fielding selections, the rotation of his bowlers just about as best he could. They squeezed England’s batsmen really well. The two sixes from stokes were massive, but the second very fortuitous. Sometimes you need a bit of luck.
Buttler and stokes partnership was brilliant, they came in when in all honesty England were in s**t street. Unbelievable batting! Stokes Man of the Match for me.
I must admit when the New Zealand batsman clobbered that six in the super over I thought we would lose. Jofra Archer showed great composure, and did exactly what he had to do. New Zealand had to go for the second run, because a tie would lose it.
Great to see us finally win the World Cup in the 50 Over format. I watch a lot of cricket here and abroad, and started thinking we won’t win it, so it’s a great relief to finally see it happen.
One big hope I have coming out of this is, that I hope it will encourage more young kids to take up cricket, rather than chase a dream of playing football.
Congratulations to the boys in blue. ?England!!
Just came out of my darkened room. So what happened? Can anyone provide a brief summary ?That’s enough for me . I’m going to lock my self in a dark room for 3 hours?

Yes what was that about England specialising in failure ?Unforgettable day. Hopefully, with it being shown on free tv, the country will fall in love with cricket again. I grew up watching test matches on tv, it’s a shame that I tried to get my 13 yr old son and partners 12 yr old son interested today but they couldn’t really get a grip of the rules. They both loved the climax though, more than me - I thought I was going to have heart failure!
The game was a credit to both teams, I’ve always had a lot of respect for NZ, I think it was them that lead the way with how modern one day cricket should be played. Aggressive but within the rules of the game.
And I’ll never forget seeing England celebrate on a sun soaked evening at Lords.
*ahem. Apologies for throwing the toys out earlier as well..*

Feel sorry for NZ especially Stokes 6 off the bat when he dived and 6 when Boult caught Syokesband git the fence.
