Big win by the Aussies today. Not yet halfway through but already looking like a 5 horse race with NZ, Oz, India, England & WI's going for the 4 qualifying places. Huge game on Friday between us against the WIs , and with Afghanistan & Sri Lanka up next a win would set us up nicely. Wouldn't like to see us in 4th after 6 games with our last three being India, the Aussies & NZ
SA have choked earlier than normal & other than the game against us Pakisan seem to have lost their discipline. SL only have 4 points because of 2 washouts so I don't expect any of these 3 to challenge. Afghanistan & Bangladesh were always unlikely to challenge although the latter are always good for a shock
All in all a decent start to the tournament and I for one am happy it has not been the batters tournament as predicted. Let's hope for the weather to clear up & for some close matches over the next 5 weeks |  | | |  |

Got to feel for New Zealand, they probably deserved it more than us. 2 freak sixes last over and then the super over.
Been an amazing match though |  |

I doubt there'll ever be a more dramatic game of one day cricket
People refer to small margins, but today they were invisible. Key players stood up and held their nerve, and massive credit to both teams
We've got the monkey off our back. Stokes has removed the monkey of the final over in the T20 a couple of years ago. Just a great advert for sport, with the fantastic tennis final reaching it's climax at the very same time within just a few miles of Lord's
Hope the England lads have one hell of a party. Just go and get pissed*, then get back down to earth for the Ashes
* obviously not the Muslim lads, but whatever it takes to celebrate

That 2nd freak six won us the game. Never seen that before, certainly not in the last over of a final. I reckon one of the NZ players ran over a black cat this morning | | | |

The dignity of their captain and general acceptance and sportsmanship from both sides was great. Amazing that New Zealand have such a different attitude from the cheating convicts not far far from them! | |

Great game of cricket, you've got to feel for the Kiwi's, just not their lucky day. The inadvertent boundary swung it for England and they made the most of it. | | | |

An absolute travesty. The most ludicrous rule ever wins a world cup final. At the end of 50 overs the the scores were tied NZ had lost 8 wickets England were all out. | |

Ah, the champagne super over 
What an incredible match. England and NZ were both brilliant in testing conditions and played the game in the spirit it should be played in. Joyous that England won but respect to NZ for some seriously good score defending. They weren't far off.
Must have hurt and been inconceivable to the few convicts that were there that the game was played properly. Something the sandpaper cheats have no concept of. Who did the Aussie cricket establishment want to encourage their fans to upset so much that they that would cry today? It's what they encourage is it not ? One of their own I hope - convict kurntz |  | | |

Pitches for ICC tournaments are managed and selected by the ICC, not England.

I was surprised that in the event of a tie the next deciding factor wasn't loss of wickets. | | | |

It`ll be one of the sporting trivia questions in years to come. Who "won" the cricket World Cup in 2019 without actually "winning" it? As you say Kiwi,it`s a pretty simple way of deciding who wins when the scores are tied,whoever loses the least amount of wickets should win. I`m sure that used to be the rule anyway. | | | |

Just too cruel is that result. But England win on the rules as they stood, and I am happy for that. Shows what fine lines can happen in sport.
Extra time in the Rugby final next? |  | | |

Boundaries scored is a perfectly fair way of deciding a tied one-day game. New Zealand had many chances to put the game to bed (including the super over) but didn't. Sometimes unlucky (extras off the bat) and sometimes not (the six given away for standing over the boundary). |  | | |

Utterly daft stuff on here about the wickets lost vs 6s and 4s rule. The chasing team sacrificed wickets in critical moments to try to keep the guy on strike who could win the game by scoring most runs. No-one was trying to tie in the 50 or the extra over.
A tie is weird situation, and it happened twice. One off game, never to be repeated. Both teams were utterly magnificent.
Why on god's earth someone wants to nitpick in such ridiculous fashion or go on about the pitch, (Lord's is Lord's), is beyond me. |  |
