    That was an amazing watch, and doubters that Cricket is boring may have had their minds changed, sport doesn't come any better than that.

    Great credit to NZ for their sportsmanship, they must have been devastated but took it with good grace.

    Finally, it really does make you wonder sometimes if there are mysterious powers are work. I have watched a lot of sport over my life, and how often you see a bit of good fortune that happens to the final winner, a golfer who sinks a bunker shot etc, and the accidental six off Stokes bat, when that happened I just thought their name has been on the trophy before it started.

    Quill will be pleased to know Metro read his comments and have indeed gone with the headline ‘Champagne Super Over’.

    I had the foresight to book leave today.
    Just watching a rerun on sky.
    Bizarre that I played cricket for 30 years, have watched it avidly even longer and yet in one of those great moments of sport, I'm relying on Denis to tell me what's happening at the end.

    You'll have to join the queue, Stephen Fry tweeted it before you posted it on here.

    Just noticed that last ball. If the batsman had left it, it would have been a leg side wide.

    I know what he was trying to do, but he overdid it.

    Would of being a travesty if that was only shown on Sky, thankfully it wasn't.

    Hearing news that the referee made a mistake at one point and gave us 6 points instead of 5.
