Unbelievable. Delighted we have won but so sorry for NZ. Both teams are heroes to a man. Incredible. What a game.
Martin Guptill signaling that six on the ropes. What a sportsman. That wouldn't happen in football. Respect.
I missed the final and I'm gutted. Not as gutted as the Kiwis though, cannot believe the final went to a super over, and they even tied that! Kane Williamson is a cracking player and deserved the player of the tournament award.
Except in cricket terms, the "big countries" were there - Australia, India, Pakistan, W Indies etc etc

Not something you can go back and change.
New Zealand comments below. Again, a level of class you wouldn't find in football: "It doesn't mean anything to us now, it's the game, things happen," he told BBC Radio 5 Live. "Sometimes you get the rub of the green. England had a great tournament, they have been the dominant team for the last four years so they deserve to win it".
I noticed a small group of people at the final at Lord's who were dressed in yellow! Why on earth would Brazilians dress up as so to go to a cricket World Cup final between England and NZ?
