ICC World T20 Final - Official Match Thread

[The Wizard]

Absolute pie chucking from Stokes. Literally threw the trophy away.

 

[Frutos]

6-6-6-6...superb hitting from Brathwaite, to give credit where due.

 

[Simster]

Pure lolz

Unless you're ENGLISH.

 

[Si Gull]

Sh*t format of the game, to be fair!!

 

[El Presidente]

Well fair play to the lad.....6666 to win.

I see what you did there!

 

[Titanic]

What a finish!

West Indies T20 men, women and U19s T20 world champions.

Cricket is the winner.

 

[Blackadder]

England. Always the Bridesmaid....

 

[papajaff]

Stephen Hawking would have bowled better in that last over. FFS

 

[Davemania]

Only England could have managed to have lost from that position

 

[Quinney]

Disappointing final over but it's been a fantastic couple of weeks.

 

[banjo]

Stokes chokes. Tbf I never thought we'd get to the final.

 

[Eeyore]

I often say how much I hate T20 but that was something trully special. Obviously I wanted England to win but it's wonderful to see the renaissance in West Indies cricket. I hope they can take this to the Test area, the game needs them.

Some South Africans would be happy to hide behind that statement...

We didn't need 19 runs off the last over did we?

 

[Si Gull]

I just hate the way T20 is so random. It's not like WI planned to hit four sixes off the last over. Eng had done the hard technical work then someone chances his arm and it's all over with.

 

[warmleyseagull]

To be fair, think WI were just hanging back. Doesn't excuse pie chucking by Stokes but they were always favourites once won the toss. England would probably have won batting 2nd.

Not a great weekend all round really.....Burnley equaliser, Hamilton stuffed on the 1st corner and England losing the T20 final, oh well, there's always work to look forward to tomorrow!

Oh, I don't know. West Indies women beat Australia. Albion women won again and have the title in their grasp and, most importantly of all, my son's rugby team won every game in today's festival. I've known worse weekends

No, but South Africa have struggled to shake off the title of 'chokers'. With some justification. Going back to the World Cup in 1999.

Oh well, that takes the pain away a bit - not!!!!
