because that's not how super overs work

I don't know know the rules, but would have thought it would be like extra time/penalties, where you continue on with the players you have on the park.

Yes, England hold the trophy (at last), but never really "won" it.

Enjoy it all the same, as I did when we (properly) won our first when I was just 23 years old.

This is the photo that confirms the ICC’s worst fears.
It proves that England were incorrectly awarded six runs for a bizarre overthrow incident which ultimately handed them the World Cup on Monday morning.

The image, taken from the final over of the incredible final, shows New Zealand fielder Martin Guptill launch a throw to the keeper’s end as England batsmen Ben Stokes, at the left of the screen, and Adil Rashid, desperately attempt to complete a second run.

Crucially, it shows the batsmen yet to cross at the precise moment Guptill releases the ball.

The 5 or 6 runs is ambiguous and it seems a wrong call was made, but if England needed more off the last ball Stokes would have played it differently ,and what could be deemed an official's mistake is life, happens in all sports all the time.

The fact is simsple, England won, and only Australians are moaning about it (and that's because the winners are England) get over it and move on.

The fact is simple, England won, and only Australians are moaning about it (and that's because the winners are England) get over it and move on.

So England didn't deserve it?
I haven't watch the game, and to be honest can't be bothered now considering the controversy about the result.
However, saying that Stokes would of played it differently... maybe Boult would of bowled it differently!

Could of, would of, should of!

I bet you and the rest of the Pommy brigade would be singing a different tune if you had lost the game.

That's up to you, but as a sports fan I always accept poor decisions, it's life.
I maybe a bit unhappy with them, butyou mention it and move on.

What I don't like is when governing bodies go aganst their own rules and regulations.

The same question could be asked as to how you'd all be reacting if England hadn't won it.

One simple fact, we are the world cup champions.

End of the day, you didn't deserve the trophy as you should not of been awarded it.
You were not the BEST team in final, let alone the tournament.
Enjoy the success, if it wasn't for the farcical umpiring decision at the end, you would still be trophyless.
