Wow!!!! What a fantastic final, congratulations to England but also to New Zealand for making it such a great final.

I agree.

Not a great fan of cricket, but what an absolute cracker of a final.

I was glued to telly, and yes, well done to both teams.

Yes, and the tennis was a corker too!

Not forgetting the F1 race.

And even the F1 did not disappoint for a change.

Do feel sorry for Roger though.

Yes a great day for UK sport, Cricket, Tennis and F1 good win by our man on his home track, I just did not know what to watch, ended up channel surfing from one to the other. What a final Super over this match will be shown for many years.

Best ODI cricket match I've ever watched.

On Sky I missed the opening 2 laps of F1 and had to switch to Channel 4.

I watched all of the fantastic sport admittedly in on off format, have you a problem with Sky Alan? It was an amazing day for UK sport..

Trev!!

Sorry had grass in my eye...Alan of course.

Not normally a great fan of tennis or cricket but this was a spectacular performance by both sports perhaps never to be repeated on the same day
Must try to find out the secret of how tennis players can exert so much energy for so long

Using a black box thigny watching cricket courtesy of Sky but a sign came up just before the start of the race saying "advert break" and I missed the first lap.

c4 saved the day.

Alan

I watched F1 on Sky and there were no adverts

Surely when England were all out for 241 and NZ were241 for 8 then NZ should have won having less men out.

No, number of wickets is irrelevent. It is the score that counts. If the scores had tied, then they would have counted who hit the most fours and sixes, which was England. This was why NZ needed to get more than England in the "Super Over".

These are the rules.

The teams all knew the rules before a ball was bowled, so nothing to worry about.

I wonder what the father had to say to Ben after the game?
