    Could not agree more .

    I am the first to admit I thought they were lucky to get to the semi finals , but they are a TEAM .

    As Steve Waugh said , it's no surprise that the best two fielding teams got to the final .

    Kiwis . Small population Massive Heart & Pride .

    Well done them !

    Well done England.........sounds like New Zealand made a fight of it. Well done New Zealand. Nothing less was expected from either team.

    The Super Over beats the **** out of penalty shootouts IMO.

    The best thing is that my son, who has never been able to watch cricket, got to see that and was totally gripped.

    It would have been a travesty had that game not been on free-to-air TV. Today has been a huge triumph for cricket.

    I would go one further. It IS a travesty that sport is being priced out of the imagination of working class children in this country.

    England still managed to end up in a penalty shootout in a cricket game. Unbelievable stuff, no one lost that game it was cricket at its purist!

    Just watched that with a total non cricket loving mate. He was hugging and jumping around with me at the end. So tense.

    I don't think there has been a more dramatic World Cup Final in any sport ever.

    Let's hope that this is the beginning of England's success. New Zealand so gracious in defeat.
