Brilliant
As one poster commented
Purely for the cameras, on it big style once they were in the dressing room!
I have seen Rashid duck out of alcohol celebrations before; pretty sure it was in the last 12 months. Fair play to them, clearly both are well respected in the team.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

The most surprising thing about yesterday was the amount of empty seats!

Watched the last 25 overs with my sons, one can't stand cricket, the other can't stand sport. The latter had googled the full super over rules with 18 balls to go, the pair of them were celebrating like demented loons by the end.
Just amazing.

An extraordinary moment in an extraordinary game;
https://www.cricketworldcup.com/video/1279087/cwc19-final-nz-v-eng-deflection-off-the-bat-gives-england-six-
Enjoyed that so much! NZ were amazing sports and were so so unlucky not to win today, but I will treasure this victory and really hope it boosts interest in the game in the UK.
Regarding the fluked six, if you had to guess the odds of that happening where would you put it? Million to 1, billion to 1?
I’ve never seen or heard of that before...anyone else?
It used to happen quite regularly, I say regularly, probably not but I had seen it before and I don't watch a whole lot of cricket any more, but teams got more athletic and it's rare these days. 999/1000 he'd have thrown it to his team mate, but I think it was just the pressure of the moment, knowing that catch essentially won them the world cup, just concentrated on holding on to it rather than where he was on the field, complete brain fart moment

He DID throw it to a team-mate (who caught it), he just did not throw it soon enough, his feet had already touched the boundary rope.
It's not an uncommon thing, it was the context that made it so dramatic.

Sorry, when I said fluked six I meant the 4 overthrows off the bat. The odds of that happening? I read today that because they hadn’t crossed for the second run, only 5 should have been awarded. More luck going england’s way

But they had crossed - Stokes was on the second run and diving for the crease when the ball hit his bat.

It's when the ball was thrown that counts (19.8 of the MCC rulebook, apparently).

It's easy to see where the confusion arises;

Thing is, if Stokes knew we needed 3 off the last ball, he'd have swung properly and clubbed it away for four.

For years I've thought I knew who you were from some trips to DtD.
I now realise I didn't.
