I know, I was only messing. It was just one of those weird moments.No seriously, it was on target!
Anyhow, congratulations to England, fully deserved on the whole. You've consistently played the brand of cricket that befits the ODI format and I hope you continue to do so.
Respect for NZ but they lacked a superstar like Stokes to turn games.
From an Indian POV, we had the tools to play a far better brand of cricket too. I really hope there's a rethink on that, and it's possible given the talent coming through.
Football season can't start soon enough

Best by far.
Can't believe he thought that was done on purpose

We were the best team in this World Cup. We were the most positive team in the tournament. We’ve been the best team in the world for the last couple of years. Why is it so hard for you to give England any credit?
I agree with this, waste of expensive booze anyway.
Hey @Adnan remember that time we won the Cricket World Cup in arguably the greatest final ever and one of the greatest ODI matches?
Yeah good times man.
Yeah good times man.
What ? Why did England not deserve to win ? They won by rules of the sport
You must be really obsessed to think that's the reason
Exactly, our inclusiveness should be an example to the world that hate and racism is not the future. You win more with love...like cricket world championships for example.
To be fair, it's only a couple of Indian fans on here embarrassing themselves.
Most of the other Indian fans have been fine.

Shakib was the best player at this tournament easily. Starc 2nd.
Really? It feels like a lot more than a few. You have more than a few on here who can dish it out but equally can't take it.
Kohli would have had a mental meltdown. New Zealand players have a lot more class.
Yeah probably.
I was being generous.
It's weird that Australians online seem happier to congratulate England than Indians.
Shakib is a great shout actually, fantastic with bat and ball. Guess his team lost too many games to be considered.
Two Indian chefs I used to work with in Australia have messaged me this evening absolutely glowing about the match and wishing me congratulations while heaping praise over this English side. This bitterness isn’t wide spread, it’s just a couple of grumpy gits.
Its Vida, not the sharpest tool in the shed. Or even the tenth sharpest.Can't believe he thought that was done on purpose
I've been reading/following the thread and some Indian fans have been belittling the England team for weeks now.You must be really obsessed to think that's the reason
Is it hard for Indians to be gracious in defeat?
But I'm loving the saltiness whilst your stars will be landing back in India after failing to chase a target of 239..
Yeah, it's just a daft minority.
I totally get wanting New Zealand to win, if England went out early I'd have supported them too.
But calling England flukes or cheats as some Indians have is just laughable.
Several Indians I play badminton with have been generous in their praise in our chat. I'm sure when I see them this evening they will be gracious too. There are just people who are cnuts, it's nothing to do with ethnicity/nationality whatever.
Yup, the rest of Europe can take a lesson from it. It's weird that all the posters against it are making the rights argument for them.
Noticed that at the time!
Soon as it started spraying about they were out of there.
It’s coming home. It’s coming home. It’s coming, crickets coming home.
I get the impression the people most annoyed by England winning are the Indian fans from England. Could be wrong here mind you.
How many of the NZ team will likely be around in four years?
Yes, some of us are salty and lacking in graciousness following our exit. Poor behavior certainly.I've been reading/following the thread and some Indian fans have been belittling the England team for weeks now.

But to insinuate that the reason behind it is because England have Pakistani heritage players shows how obsessed you are
Mate the world cup was held in england....
How can you tell?
And there's the standard response.
Oh the hypocrisy. You've just told me what I do and don't understand on the matter, after telling the other poster that, despite the perfectly reasonable explanation that clarifies his reasoning, he's actually just racist, deep down.
Not sure how seriously people watch t20's but this superover tiebreaker being boundaries has been there for the last decade and wasn't created today . Also in 1999 Aus went to the finals because they had won the super six game Vs Saffers . England had beaten NZ in the group stages , finished above them in the table. NZ obviously knew that they needed 16 to win . England lost 2 wickets at the end with 3 needed off 2 , if wickets had been the deciding factor they would have played it in a different way .
Row: congrats englandYes, some of us are salty and lacking in graciousness following our exit. Poor behavior certainly.
But to insinuate that the reason behind it is because England have Pakistani heritage players shows how obsessed you are
Some indian fans: play the semi again,feck the fecking cheaters, come to india.
But we are the ones that are obsessed. Right.
Then you also have the likes of @ayushreddevil9 who've actually switched allegiances
Not saying that in a negative way either.Basing that off of @Ronaldo's ego who stated earlier he is from England and supports them in everything but Cricket and possibly @Di Maria's angel , though I’m not certain lives in England. Anyway I’m not going full Tebbit here, just noted it and obviously could be wrong.
Ayush are you seriously telling me england tried to draw that game and take it to superover on purpose? Or when stokes was batting he was thinking feck winning the game, must hit fours so we can win it if we draw then there is a super over and we draw again.
It’s weird. It’s was the same in the football World Cup thread. They all hate England with a passion, with no logical explanation, but then support an English club. I don’t get it.
Perhaps if it's a standard response you get you should question why you keep getting that response?
Wrong guyThen you also have the likes of @ayushreddevil9 who've actually switched allegiances
