And seeing how incredibly salty some India fans are only makes it sweeter. What a bunch of arrogant cry babies.

Drained mate. Thought we had lost that for a long period of the chase, then got back onto it, then lost it again and somehow got onto a super over, which was just intense ?What a day @SteMerritt . Never experienced such a roller coaster of emotions during any sporting event Ever. At last we win something meaningful ?
That England didn't win it because it was done by boundaries when they lost every other head to head. That England didn't win it because the law on over throws. That Kohli was never out in the semi final, etc, etc.What have they said?
India cricket fan = Man Utd football fan. Don't worry about reality, make your own...That England didn't win it because it was done by boundaries when they lost every other head to head. That England didn't win it because the law on over throws. That Kohli was never out in the semi final, etc, etc.
Slightly hollow victory. It’s akin to winning the WC final when a through ball going nowhere and running out of play diverts off the referee, wrong foots the keeper and leaves Harry Kane with an injury time tap in to win it.
Great to win it but it will forever be tainted by how it was won.
Don't agree with that at all. There was hardly a fag paper between the two teams and one had to win - there was no foul play or bad sportsmanship, just a slice of luck that tipped the balance just enough so that it was our day. You couldn't have begrudged the Kiwis if they'd won it and (sportingly) they didn't moan about it afterwards.Great to win it but it will forever be tainted by how it was won.

Like others on here I dont think that it will be tainted or was a hollow victory.Slightly hollow victory.

Sure I feel sorry for NZ, but how it works is that one team has to win. We got the breaks but that happens in most Cup competitions in all sports.
Speechless - must be the closest match ever.
Just wow, utterly stunning game of cricket. 2 great teams going at it in the right way.
Ben Stokes was fantastic and Jos Buttler really stepped up. Both of them in the field and batting.
Really? Have you never seen a new batsman get dropped in the slips then go on to make a match winning score? I would call that a game changing slice of luck and it happens all the time.I’ve been watching cricket for 50 years and can never recall such a game changing slice of luck.
