Stokesy does it again. That 6 when he dived and it rebounded off his bat was mad -like if Hollywood were to make a film about cricket....

The Cricket World Cup doesnt get any better than what everyone witnessed today .. It was freaking insane, heart goes out to New Zealand ... some might say they were robbed and that could be true as well but it was just that England did a little more in terms of everything ... Stokes: hats off!!! nothing to be said. 

First time Champions considering England is the home of Cricket ... took a long time but what a way to get it. Maddening. Congrats England and New Zealand ... it couldnt have been better. 

 

On a side, the game was a tie so none of the team won on the field but on technicality

Like you say so many twists and turns - youve reminded me of that snooker final Dennis Taylor/Steve Davis 1985 in a pub, no one really paying much attention at first, then going mental as it swung either way.
