Would have been interesting if they needed, say 30 from the over. I think they would have actually done it

England... Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
The bowling in the last over.Afghanistan are probably celebrating harder than anyone else. Only team to beat the champions.
fecking 4 sixes in a row to win a World Cup final!
What a final over. Just watched the final two oversU-19 Champions, Women's Champions and now the Men's Champions. And they said West Indies didn't have a good cricket team 
Bowling at the death is not easy. People should realize that by now. Bowling the final over in a world cup final is ridiculously hard. All credit to Braithwaite. Astonishing knock.
It's been very good indeed. As sad as I am about the outcome, the Windies have been excellent, and I don't mind losing to them too much...
I know, but he could've at least sent one down towards the off stump
All but the second ball were in perfect positions for him to get a full swing through.what a fecking win!!! That must have been the greatest last over in the history of the tournament
They'd be terrible in longer formats. Let's be serious hereU-19 Champions, Women's Champions and now the Men's Champions. And they said West Indies didn't have a good cricket team
Jeez, what a day for @Santiago_KinderBueno ? First Man Utd win and then England lose in such a fashion. And tomorrow is a Monday. Life doesn't get any harder than that.
we did the Triple! amazing!
I feel sorry for the people who hate T20. It's absolutely wonderful and the best thing to happen to cricket.
Same bs as always. Just when you think we can finally win. Something goes wrong.
Pathethic bowling, agree with ppl who say Ali, Root should have bowled earlier.
Congratulations West Indies. What a dramatic ending. To get four sixes in a row to win the game is phenomenal. I'd hate to be the bowler, though.
Men, Women and U'19s. Good times for the West Indies. They'll be celebrating in style.

When do I want man utd to lose? At the end I was laughing at how England lost. Amazing.They'd be terrible in longer formats. Let's be serious here

I like these sorts of games where its an even contest between bat and ball.
I hate the slog-a-thons though.
TBF this WC has been great. Usually the pitches has offered something for both.
@KM weren't you the one complaining about Brathwaite's IPL auction price?
No ones saying its easy. But its not four length balls in the slot or on the pads hard.
He bowled the same fecking ball 4 times, TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT, bowl outside off, take pace off the ball. It was like Brathwaite had wheeled in a bowling machine to practice his range hitting.
To be fair, he tried the inswinging yorker every time and it's very difficult to pull it off.
The first one was a bad ball. The other three not so much. He lost the battle in that first ball itself. Such a horrendous length ball swinging down leg.
He could try not acting like an absolute cnut on the field, then maybe I'll have some sympathy for him next time. Hopefully this will make him a little more humble.
I think he was finished after the 2nd six. Looked utterly distraught.
England need to look after him. He's a top talent.
Have not seen such despair on a sports field.
First and the fourth were rotten. But, there's no point in considering the 4th. The match was over at that time. The second and third were 'ok' balls but sensational hitting. Length balls are good balls in tests.
I think Morgan missed a step there in the final over. After the first bowl was bowled, he should have had a detailed discussion with Stokes, Root and the others. You need a cool, calm head in those moments and Morgan wasn't that. Who the heck cares about the over rate (It's not applicable for the final over anyway). They really should have discussed strategies after that first bowl. Poor poor captaincy.
DADA!!
Samuel Kuffour.
Marlon Samuels. Won his team two world cups now
Wtf was that about Warne?
Samuels
What did he say about Warne?
Hahaha absolutely mullered Warney there.
I don't answer with my mouth, I answer with the bat.
Did Warne have a go at Samuels earlier?
Kohli man of the tournament again
I think Warne and Samuels had a bust up in Big Bash.
Yeah, but thats why the yorker isn't the only ball to be bowling. I know what he was trying to do but its not just a failure of execution, being predictable at the death is as bad as missing your mark.
" I woke up this morning with one thing on my mind: Shane Warne has been talking, so this is for Shane Warne. I answer with my bat"

Warne's been chatting shit about Samuels on commentary
Warne was absolutely scathing about him in the SF. Both of them had a huge fight in BigBash.
