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’.
Great game
I seem to have a bad headache though...maybe sunstroke?
Extended weekend for me.
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.

I should get in touch with the Metro for stealing it.
You'll have to join the queue, Stephen Fry tweeted it before you posted it on here.

Peak of 8.5million viewers tuned in to that Champagne Super Over - 3.5m on Sky, 4.8m on Channel Four, Impressive.

Dodgy figures
I had it on both sides in different rooms
Nah mate .. good bit of bowling .. he follows the batsman as he moves to leg side to give himself room .. Archer spotted it and followed him
Would of being a travesty if that was only shown on Sky, thankfully it wasn't.
