Cricket world cup 10:58 - May 26 with 35449 viewssainthelens

For the cricket followers on here, who's your fancy?
I've had good wedge on India. England will find a way to fck it up, and as long as the Indians arnt too knackered after the IPL I think they'll be to strong.

I'm surprised that posters when complaining about Welsh players not getting a fair crack at playing for England, that nobody has mentioned the biggest travesty of all.

A Welshman and Glamorgan player ... A man who took more wickets than any other bowler never to play Test cricket for his country.

I'll give you a clue ... He took 2174 wickets for Glamorgan.and had a career total of 2,218 first-class wickets.

The England (and Wales ) national team needs a mandatory Welsh quota. Two token Welshmen to be selected at all times! Like South Africa and black players

So, have we done the bit where the umpires got the overthrows score wrong, and it should have been 5 not 6?

Seems England can't win any world cup without a bit of dodgy officiating

Lol didn't realise we had so many bitter, joyless types amongst us. Wales is very much represented under the England and Wales Cricket Board banner. As for a Wales team, we have a minor counties team who suck and Glamorgan who err, are not great. We wouldn't be able to field a team good enough to even qualify usually, let alone get test status.

Awesome game today. Felt sorry for the kiwis. But meh. CHAMPIONS!


Well bloody said.

Depends if the batters crossed before the throw was made. If they did, you're right. If not, you're not. Rule is pretty clear unless you're really going to try and crowbar a different interpretation in...

They were nowhere near crossing when Guptill threw the ball.

I’ve played at a decent level since I was a kid and I always thought that would have been a dead ball.

It certainly was always treated as one - even in league cricket. Spirit of the game or ignorance of the rules? That’s the first time I’ve seen one go for four though. Would have been interesting if it hadn’t gone and they ran a couple. Akin to scoring from the throw-in when the opposition have put the ball out after an injury.

Potential punch-up in league cricket. Seriously.

edit - sorry I didn't realise it had already been posted.

The way they won it was terrible in my opinion, boundaries, on the flip side they lost less wickets. Not the right way for any game to be decided, never mind a world cup final.

It would have been really interesting if the ball hadn't gone for a boundary. Imagine if it was Australia or Pakistan ?? I'm sure they would have run like fvck 😂😂

The on field umpires should have gone "upstairs" and had a second opinion!! These rules have only been put together for the entertainment of the supporters, not the game.

Everyday above ground ... Is a good day! 😎

Any plans to celebrate - open top bus parade, New Year's honours etc. - should be immediately knocked on the head. Any resultant sponsorship deals, whether personal or team related, you'd hope would be rejected or at least charity bound. What a sorry mess from the elite competition in World cricket. A shame too, that Simon Taufel retired at such a young age.

A rematch should be offered, but I suspect the Kiwi's are too proud and far too classy to accept it.

I'd be devastated as an England supporter today though. Wait all your life for such a moment, only for it to turn out so hollow and so empty - this outcome is worse than losing. No sporting event could make me prouder than seeing Wales winning the RWC in November, but under such clear cut controversy? No thanks. I'd rather deserve it.
