The bizaare count back was just a non event after a great match. I don't know why wickets were not used as a measure after the batting was tied twice. Of course the real thing was that the super over was incorrectly counted and it wasn't a tie after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England did some long term planning to get the winning team. Hundreds of years ago they set about colonising around the world with the sole aim of getting better cricketers that may come back to play for England. Eoin Morgan, Ben Stokes, Jason Roy and Jofra Archer are the products of this planning and they wouldn't have won with out them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if ODI matches must be decided on anyth8ng maybe who lost the least wickets to get that score, I agree, if not playing extra super overs, then why not award the team which lost the least wickets the championship. Seems much fairer than being decided by the number of 4s hit. Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled Stokes,I thought his relos might have been 10 pound poms.They are all Kiwis with a bit of Maori blood thrown in.He got the caps thru residency.Imagine the result if his old man hadn't gone to the UK to coach rugby all those years ago.But would he have got the experience staying in NZ.
