Cricket World Cup

[Ralph]

No sport makes sense if you overthink it.

The important thing is WE WON!

[Carlos J]

That really is a shocking rule.

Hopefully England do the right thing and share the trophy. Can't win a game on some silly rule like that.

Not really. It's no different to taking penalties at an end with the opposition fans in front of you in a shoot out.

Nah it's more like scoring more goals in the group stage and then the game ending in a draw after FT/ET and then being awarded the trophy.

The score says the same.

I am no oracle on anything in life especially cricket, but what a crap way to end a tournament.

Kevin. You are replying to Holden who was wrong about finishing postitions in the group stages.

If by some miracle it gets to a super over, and by a further miracle the super over is tied, then who scores most boundaries in the game and super over wins. NZ were told they were behind and knew they needed 16 off the super over.

There may be better ways, but the chances of it happening again are tiny. Plus can't think of any.

Didn't they used to have a rule saying if you tie a match, the team who lost the fewer wickets won?

[Carlos J]

Now replaying the super over on C4+1. Gonna watch again.

Yep. Was always the way growing up.

With Epstein in the headlines, I thought Randy Andy would be keeping a low profile.

Remember SA v Oz in 1999 when Donald didn't run:



Apparently Oz went through: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Cric ... semi-final because:

Australia tied the match and went into the final against Pakistan because they won the last match in the same World Cup.

That is a shitter rule, but all teams know all the rules when entering, same as there could be drawn lots in WC football groups if all the scores align, so can't see a problem really.

As I said, though it was in May, Andrew was in Canada visiting Sick Kids and students in Canada. Nothing like hiding in plain sight.

If it wasn't for all the immigrants in the England team, they wouldn't have got very far in the competition.

Stick to your wacky facts, wanker.

LOL, does the truth hurt that much.

Another reason why immigration is a good thing

Breathtaking how that cunt 'did an Irani' to present the trophy next to a cricketing legend. Which cunt decided to give him the gig? I suppose it was by committee?

In the history of any sport there won’t be a closer finish to a World Cup Final. Amazing stuff, considering the drama of the Wimbledon final earlier. Can’t but feel for New Zealand and Federer after contests like those today. Hollywood can make up some great pretend drama, but nothing can replicate live sport.

Congratulations to Ireland's Owen Morgan and his team mates, but I gotta say very hard lines to New Zealand.
