Amazing stuff. That is up there as one of the greatest finals I have ever seen in any sport.


And furthermore, having played club cricket for years and watched it forever, I have never seen what happened today with that deflection off Stokes' bat which really won us the game.

I have said many times that I never played a game of cricket without seeing something I'd never seen before. But for it to happen with just 2 balls to go in a World Cup Final was simply amazing.

Cricket is the greatest sport in my opinion.

Football second.
