There is also some debate about the interpretation of the law and whether or not Stokes had completed the second run. If not England should have only been awarded 5 runs. Very tough on NZ, whatever the interpretation.

Yes it was. Which makes their reaction to the result so admirable.

Yes, gracious in defeat. It's a shame when these mistakes are made. I'm pleased the match was free to air though at least. It certainly won't harm the popularity of the sport.

It was a great game....and believe me, everyone that follows cricket down here is absolutely guttered, I know I am, grown man crying material, and yes there were factors that did not go our way, but what I can't work out, instead of a count back system, why not another super over if the scores were tied after the first, seems logical to me...(or count back the wickets taken ;-) )....but it is done and dusted now, well done to England.

And without trying to be patronising well done to NZ - it was some achievement to get to the final and to get that close, well, no words. Glad McCallum was watching and not playing.

I agree, it's no way to win a world cup. I'd probably have them do super overs until a winner emerged. Hopefully they refine it.

Blimey. The BBC 10 o'clock news last night made the following day celebrations and reflections the lead story and it lasted about 10 minutes.
