That was amazing. Super tense. What an ending. Stokes trying to get the umpires not to count the 4 that came off his bat off the throw in from the outfield. Mental.
Copy and paste from the guardian:
Mike Hesson, New Zealandâs head coach from 2012 to 2018, has written for the Sydney Morning Herald about the World Cup final. Hereâs how he starts:
Kane Williamson and Eoin Morgan should have jointly lifted the CricketWorld Cup. Certainly neither England nor New Zealand deserved to lose.
Using a Super Over to decide it was farcical and the International Cricket Council needs to give itself an uppercut for even entertaining it as a tiebreaker. To just copy and paste the playing conditions from Twenty20 and use the highest number of boundaries to determine who wins in the event of a tied Super Over is not at all necessary. This is a 50-over World Cup.
I didnât agree with the concept of the Super Over in the first place. The whole idea of a Super Over is in a situation when you need a side to progress, like in a semi-final. Thatâs when the necessity of finding a winner makes sense. When youâre playing a final of a World Cup after seven weeksâ hard toil, to decide it by some obscure means that is made for T20 cricket is ridiculous.
I agree with him
I disagree, you need one winner for a final, the âwhole ideaâ of a Super Over is that you have one winner, whether it is for them to progress through a tournament or win something is irrelevant. Hitting boundaries is more entertaining and harder to do so I think itâs a fair way to break them down, itâs not how youâd want to win ideally but there you go.
However some are now saying that six shouldâve been 5 
they should have set up a single stump and made the top order batsmen bowl at it. Most hits in 2 overs wins.
No one is moaning about the ridiculously inconsistent umpiring of wides when it came to bouncers though.
Those added up to way more than the stokes incident.
It more than evened out.

A cricket related not-stoked.
This happened in the game my uncle was playing in on Saturday.
The boy who hit the shot is a mini Jos Buttler style basher. He hits tons of boundaries.
My uncle was already out and playing in the nets with his his kids and stopped so that they could all watch him play because he is impressive and then that happened. It was horrific apparently as you can imagine. Straight drive to the head.
On a slightly less serious note⌠Its Narberth not Narbeth. An absolute shocker by the BBC there.
Pasting this here so I know where to find it in the future:
42-6 before a quarter past twelve.
Lol.
