Love it. They love making themselves important even when it’s nothing at all to do with them.

I don’t watch much cricket and know nothing about the rules, but something about that 6 when stokes hit the ball on the dive looks wrong to me.
Should they not have given a bye and bowled it again or something? Seems freakishly unlucky for the kiwis or does that happen quite often?

its a bit of an oddity, if the ball doesnt go to the boundary then the batters wont run (its an unwritten rule) but as it went to the boundary there is nothing that can be done under the rules. might be a rule that gets revisited (along with several others the indians dont like) over the next year or two

So normally It wouldn’t have made a difference, it’s just the fact it went for 4 that the umpire had to give the runs?

I am sure it is the same with all sports mad nations.. in case of Indian cricket the sheer numbers make it look out of kilter.
What a game today. Just for my understanding.. I don’t think the super over was a tie.. Eng 15/0 while NZ 15/1.
Kane W was gracious and I think the Eng players knew that they got the rub of the green. What a match .. well done boys .. something has finally come home
Next week back to the Aussies and the Ashes..

do me a favour, some of the most delusional fans out there indian cricket fans. plenty of sports mad fans who manage to keep things in perspective, something indian cricket fans havent done for decades
if any fans should be moaning its the kiwis yet they seem to be taking the lead of their skipper and behaving brilliantly, maybe thats why the indian fans dont......

Nope, it was a tie - 15 runs each.
If match was tied (ie equal runs) then goes to Super Over. If Super Over tied (ie equal runs) the winner is decided by whichever side hit most boundaries in the match (including the Super Over). Which is about as fair as golf's "countback" ?
What I dont know is whether the "most boundaries" is/was done as a simple tally (eg 6 fours and 4 sixes = 10 boundaries) or if it was the count of runs scored by boundaries (eg 6 fours and 4 sixes = 48 runs, and would be beaten by 4 fours and 6 sixes?). Anyone know?
Any hoo. What a finish? England gotta be thinking they were very fortunate - and you can't help but feel for the Kiwis. Just not too much, eh!

Whichever way you do a tie breaker to achieve a result it seems unsatisfactory (countback in golf) but, for me the super over worked as one of the best ways I've seen
some of the crap sprouted by them just shows the complete lack of any sort of understanding of the basic way cricket is played and governed.
Had me laughing to myself for about an hour yesterday and that was just the posts after the result
but most sports mad nations would have the basic knowledge of the sport they support, TBH if it were the tiddy winks would cup and india was involved there would still be 1,350,438,098. indians posting on social media not having a clue what they were following
As Fundy said. I would like to see the ball called dead then, same as when a fielder hits the wickets and the batters get extra runs. They are freakish events and the fielding side are unfairly penalised imo.

In the cold light of day, the two pieces of luck (the catch that was a six and the extra runs off the deflection) were pivotal and so we were actually pretty lucky and that must be hard for the Kiwi's to take but they were magnificent in defeat and even their fans on social media have taken it stoically. Unlike the Indians who think the cricketing world starts and stops with them and so the match was an irrelevance as they weren't in it

The social media from them and also the Pakistani fans as well is hilarious- can only just laugh at the self entitlement. Lost count of the times people have said the IPL is a bigger trophy now 😂😂
Where as the Bangladesh fans as well as the Afghan fans are brilliant.
India and Pakistan are the same when it comes to hockey - no humility in defeat
