after the greatest game ever played.
The main game was a tie, which almost never happens in cricket.
The sudden death was also a tie - no one even knew the rules as, as far as I know, no sudden death has ever occurred before because it is reserved for semi-finals and finals of the world cup. The game was decided by accountants based on a rule almost no one knew existed before the sudden death. Incredible scenes.
And England was sooooooooooooo lucky. I feel bad for New Zealand, who really should have won it.
At last we have the set of three men's world championships in the three main team sports we invented: soccer, rugby and cricket. Spread over 53 years, but worth the wait!
First country to do that!!!!
