LGTL Posted 14 July, 2019 Share Posted 14 July, 2019 Not over yet but it will be as soon as Buttler or Stokes are out. This partnership is the last chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic Posted 14 July, 2019 Share Posted 14 July, 2019 Take 3/1 (NZ) whenever dealing with England at any level and sport..... These were my thoughts exactly. Only got in at 2/1 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamesaint Posted 14 July, 2019 Share Posted 14 July, 2019 Fantastic match which would have been deemed as too ludicrous to be fiction. I feel sorry for Ben Stokes's dad. Your son is Mom and ensures that his team wins but you support the opposition ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted 15 July, 2019 Share Posted 15 July, 2019 England win by zero runs. Absolutely fantastic stuff but NZ better on the day and will be gutted to lose that. Two bad umpiring decisions and a bit of bad luck ruined it for NZ similar to Saints where often we don't seem to have the rub of the green. However the All Blacks usually have the rub of the green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 15 July, 2019 Share Posted 15 July, 2019 (edited) Two bad umpiring decisions and a bit of bad luck ruined it for NZ similar to Saints where often we don't seem to have the rub of the green. However the All Blacks usually have the rub of the green Yep we've never had a bad decision against us, never. About time our sporting sides had a rub of the green again. The freak 6 was amazing, to happen in a final as well. The catch on the rope was not luck for us but a lack of thinking by Boult, he must have known the rope was there but I suppose he was just thinking he was winning the match and forgot. New Zealand used their appeal up needlessly and so when they needed the chance to review it was gone. Their fault nobody else's IMO Edited 15 July, 2019 by OldNick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 15 July, 2019 Share Posted 15 July, 2019 England win by zero runs. Absolutely fantastic stuff but NZ better on the day and will be gutted to lose that. Agree with that and reflects what Warne said. However, as he also pointed out, England have been the best side in the world in this format for 3-4 years. Would feel gutted if I was NZ with the two sixes but the throw hitting the bat was a 1 in 1000 fluke and Boult lost his bearings on the catch. The use of Guptill's review cost them later. Williamson is a class act though as captain and best batsman in the world. Morgan, Bayliss, Farbrace, Strauss and Giles have done an amazing job to create this environment since being dumped out of the last WC in 2015. One of the great endings to a game and will be talked about for generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted 1 March, 2021 Share Posted 1 March, 2021 (edited) Thought I would drag this one back up. Any thoughts about the best-of-three (from memory) Test Final due in a few months. NZ is one of the finalists when most cricket supporters over here know Australia is a far better test team than us. Not sure we should be there. NZ v England (as the historic home of cricket) final would be fitting if England can win that fourth test. Last week's two day test should e wiped from the records because of the disgraceful pitch.
