A ridiculous rule, just play another over
England had that much luck I thought it was Arsenal.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Outstanding game of cricket.
You just cannot beat the drama that sport sometimes throws up.
Outstanding entertainment.
Unbelievable. Those 4 over throws off Stokes bat crucial bit of luck.
Superb sport, drama and entertainment.
That would explain it.
That was so cruel on New Zealand.
Been glued to it since 10:45 utterly brilliant
My kids had no interest in cricket until this world cup - they are now converts and want to go to a T20 at Glammy
Same with my wife. We've been lucky to attend some great matches during the group phase and she set up a picnic today so we could watch the match (on TV) in style. Superb game. one of the greatest finales to a televised sporting events ever.
Yeah very harsh on them. Players very gracious in defeat too.
Pity it wasnt Australia.
Four years of preparation paid off then. Think England used up an Ashe's worth of luck today.
Arthur?
Drama, bit of controversy and outstanding entertainment.
Congratulations to both teams for providing such a thrilling and hard fought final.
I know I should feel elated but it’s more a feeling of relief and that every get out of jail free ( no pun regarding Stokes intended) card has been played.
More importantly the match entices people back into this grand old game as it is dying on its feet in many places. Maya be the decision to make it free to air and the nature of the result will kindle some more interest.
Turned on the telly at 9 this morning. 12 hours later still watching it. What a fantastic final. I feel so sorry for the Kiwis but so pleased for Ben Stokes and the whole England team. And to have it available for all to watch must whet the appetite for the Ashes series.
If I was a youngster, then I'd be outside already trying to be Ben Stokes ( I,m left handed ,if not Tonight I'd be Jos Buttler).
Congratulations England

Brilliant, brilliant drama. Even if you don't get cricket, you have to appreciate the theatre of what just happened, luck and all. And the mental strength to see that through is astonishing.
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.
I didn't actually realise it was free to air and listened to 90% of it on the radio. It was only when the commentary team mentioned it was on terrestrial telly that I turned it on and saw the last 5 overs after a brief fight with the wife who was watching the Wimbledon final (another great one it would seem). I'd have got nothing done at all today if I had realised sooner that I could watch it!
Astonishing sports final, perhaps one of the best.
NZ didn't deserve to lose as they defended a low score.
England did so well, against the odds to stay in the game.
They did the sporting thing and didn't run the the over throws that hit the bat , but the umpire gave the 6 anyway.
The game gets tied.
England hit a decent amount in the super over .
NZ lose by a yard in distance.
Astonishing.
Well done Stokes
Unbelievable day of sport, Lewis Hamilton wins again at Silverstone has been relegated to a side show.
Driving a car is not sport.
It’s as interesting as knitting.
Yet cricket is a sport but you stop half way through for a curry.
