To my neighbors who kept me up when Liverpool won the CL, guess who has tomorrow off work? Dreadlock Holiday playing all night, I love it!

It is going to be a loooong day. Would have been longer had we lost but already accused of cheating and that NZ actually won

[laxman]

That was, hands down, the best cricket match I have ever seen. The drama was second to none. I am gobsmacked by how close that was. Well done England, that was one to remember for a long, long time .

That was ridiculous. I feel really bad for New Zealand, that ultimately came down to who got the breaks. Neesham looked so calm and focussed in that super over, Archer looked nervous. England did incredibly well to fight back though during their innings. Amazing stuff.

I recently had a Jamaican and an Indian try to tell me how great Cricket is and they wouldn't cone out and say it but they also thought it better than baseball. I wasn't buying any of it.

I can't abide any sport where the word "googly" must be used in all seriousness. I don't have a lot of lines in the sand in my life, but, dammit, that's one of them.

Saw the Mescaleros at Manchester Move in Summer 2002. It was on Lancashire Cricket Club's ground. Joe made a " bowling a googly" joke/reference in one of the intros, so that's good enough for me!

Theres no way Stokes could have known about that ball, pure luck. Sore losers may be a tad strong given the close nature of the game but England deserved the win from their overall performances. Did you watch it mate?

I thought Archer would lose it after that first wide, fair enough to him to keep his composure, same to Roy for the last throw given his sloppy fielding earlier. Fantastic stuff, so glad I witnessed it!

To be fair, I can't name a dozen people I know up here who follow the sport and I can understand really. Its slow pace makes it come across boring but I look at it as build up, so while 5 whole days playing a match seems very excessive, for me each ball and each over and each day just gets better and better for me reaching that explosive climax (crap sex joke here) on the final day.

In other words, I'm a bit boring.

I can’t imagine thinking “baseball, but MORE arcane” is a selling point.

When summer come they play cricket"

Agreed with all that. The wide was a close call, but NZ deserved something to go their way! Nothing will ever get close, for me, to the excitement and drama of the 2005 Ashes, but this was still a brilliant finish.

2005 at Edgbaston is the ultimate winner but this hands down has to be the greatest limited overs match ever.

You would think England made up the tiebreaker rule on the spot. Been accused of cheating and everything.
