Yes, I dont generally bother with cricket, but caught the end of this (from the last 12 balls of the main match). It was nailbiting stuff.

Re: English Cricket
Don't start me on that joke of a FA (Some even called them by a other name).

Re: English Cricket
Well that was rather entertaining ! . Feel for anyone who wasted time watching boring F1/tennis We got the luck today, and tbh if it's tied after a super over, the trophy should be shared. However thems the rules and we have deserved it over the last few years Thank goodness we have an Irish captain and West Indian fast bowler

The only one who made himself look a fool in such a great triumph was a certain JRM.

Re: English Cricket
Went to my mum's for a BBQ yesterday, and with 3 overs left I thought that's it and mum was ready to take me home. Then it looked possible again and nobody moved from the TV until the conclusion. Even my sister, who shows no interest in sport, got into it. Was a great match with lots of drama and a real contrast to the round robin stage because at one point England were on the verge of not getting out of the group. Let's hope we can defend it in 4 years time.
