I too feel really sorry THEY WON for the Kiwis. Couldn’t have asked for THEY WON better more deserving semi-finalists, and on THEY WON another day I’d have been happy to see SHOVE IT UP YER BRYDON CARSE them life the trophy. What a game of cricket.

Ultimately, bless (and curse) the weather, and consequently the pitches, this was a good old 250 world cup.

I feel sorry for NZ too. They bowled really, really well… and that’s a horrible way to “lose” a match, never mind a tournament, but… fuck it, a win is a win.

And hey, Stokesy gets to be a hero at last! Wonders will never bleedin’s cease. (Bayliss needs to get someone following Stokes for the whole of the next week, making sure he doesn’t end up in any student nightspots after one too many)

In reply to Ged Ladd. Will ripping up your tickets increase the tide of comment on empty seats at jazz concerts?

In reply to Ged Ladd. Hear, hear. Although ‘we ripped up our jazz concert tickets’ sounds like a rather painful euphemism.

We ripped up our jazz concert tickets as we were in no mood to drive into central London & miss the ending of this match.

Never mind can’t spake, neither of us felt able to drive safely.

Feel so sorry for the Kiwis because they came so close and still lost, but I think England were the best team in the tournament, although perhaps not on the day. The luck went with England today.

Great news for English cricket. Great news for cricket generally I feel.

In reply to King Cricket. Yeah, there's no shoving up nobody's arse, unfortunately. Maybe Australia's. That, I can get behind.
