Looks like England are doing really well against the Aussies..
It have I just jinxed it.!
-
Why did Bairstow review his dismissal?
That cost Roy a possible century and puts pressure on England.
-
The cheating Aussies knew he did n’t hit it, the appeal was to try and detract from the wide, the umpire was n’t sure either by the way he raised his finger
-
If you’re not sure, the finger stays down..
Still on for a decent win.. who’d have thunk it.!
-
That was an absolute pasting.!!
-
Onwards and upwards for Sunday.

Roy most likely told him to review - usually the batsman at the non-striking end has a better view and advises.

Swings and roundabouts Filo, were you complaining when Broad didn’t walk a few years back?
Excellent win today - bowling, fielding and batting were all exceptional. Never seen such a dominant performance over the Aussies and great to get it so close to the Ashes. Play anywhere near that level on Sunday and we should win.

He seemed certain and didn't look to consult Roy in my view.
Luckily it didn't cost us. When you only have one review though you need to be certain.

Saw this and it made me smile

Brilliant performance by England yesterday, they simply blew the Aussies away.
Decision to be made on Sunday now. Headingley Yorks v Somerset 2nd day of the Championship match or The Telly to watch England v New Zealand in the World Cup Final.
Well our country don’t get to too many World Cup Finals do they so i think that’s the one I’ll be watching.
Back to Headingley on Monday to see us beat the league leaders in 3 days. Well we can dream can’t we. ;)
-
I never thought I'd ever feel sorry for an Australian cricket team
And I was right :woohoo:

Not brilliant is it. Don’t understand what they were thinking when these all were planned on same day.
Am really surprised this round of County Championship matches start tomorrow (Sat )
Why couldn’t they start on Monday. The gate at Headingley will be well down for a Sunday.
Very badly planned, quite ridiculous when you think about it.
Could you imagine Rovers having a league game at the same time as England football team were playing in a World Cup Final. :headbang:

Could happen next WC is mid season isn’t it
Definitely poor planning for Sunday (and letting the Arabs buy the WC)
-
Another cracking century from Gary Ballance today his 6th in the County Championship this season.
Very well supported by Tom Kholer-Cadmore. They put on 199 for the 3rd wicket and were under 3 overs away from not losing a wicket in 2 sessions when Ballance was out.
Very good day for Yorks against the league leaders and they put us in to bat, which makes it even better. :thumbsup:
-
Battered batted them eh ? Come on the White Rose !
-

Yorks 500 for 7 Batting Somerset out of the match.
-
The way New Zealand are bowling we're going to lose this. What is it with England sporting teams? We just don't ever seem to be able to get over the line.
-
Beats me why, when the tournament is in England, they choose to play the final on a bowlers wicket, when England's strength is with the bat.
-
Brainless shots, again. Root threw his wicket away. Morgan threw his wicket away. To say they are captains they don’t have much in the way of brain cells between them. When will these players ever learn?
Ben Stokes is the only one who has shown any application when the chips are down this World Cup, as long as he’s still there we have a chance. Could still win but a lot hinges on these two.
-
Wouldn't be proper England without a random batting collapse when it really counted.
-
Nail biter, this one.
-
Nail biter, this one.
I’m not sure how much more i can stand this agony.
-
f**ked it imo. Doesn't feel like it's gonna happen.
-
I admit I'm a half-empty glass type of bloke, but I honestly can't see us winning this.
-
The run rate is creeping up too much for my liking. Stokes needs to take the handbrake off. Still think we should win this.
-
Buttler out. Not much chance now.
-
Still reckon it's over but it'll go to the wire at least.
-
F*cking hell; I've never seen anything like this.
-
Never ever seen owt like this. Astonishing stuff.
-
What's worse? The Brentford nerves? Or this?
-
Wow, f**king Wow!
-
I’m no cricket fan but that was bloody unbelievable.
-
f**king scenes, absolute scenes that. That 6 off Ben Stokes, you just knew it was happening then.
-
Cricket is boring Boomstick. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:
What a game. I don’t think we will see anything like that again.
England world Champions. YES WORLD CHAMPIONS :clapping:
-
Now let people come on here and say that cricket is mind-numbingly boring.
-
England deserved it over the tournament but were so lucky today. But for that deflection they'd have come up short.
Fantastic entertainment though
-
That does feel desperately unfair on NZ.
-
That does feel desperately unfair on NZ.
It does, but when England were dead and buried they bottled it

Agreed BST but it makes a change from England teams not getting the luck ( football ) in particular.

In the same breath, no one can say tennis is shite after probably the best Wimbledon final ever.

Think that's a bit unfair Filo. It was a magnificent performance from both sides.
-

Not sure how they bottled it. The game was theirs until Boult took a catch over the boundary and then we had unbelievable luck with 4 overthrows off the bat to really let us back into it. We then set a high bar with the super over and Archer recovered from a shaky start in the super over.
Seems like these days bottling it is just synonymous with losing, at least in the eyes of fans and media.

Boult’s step on the boundry was avoidable, he had a team mate close by to givehim a shout, the overthrows? Well that was avoidable as well, Boult’s last over was awful, like I said, at the crunch moment they bottled it

Nobody bottled anything out there today. That was one hell of a cricket match.
For a change an England team got just about all the luck.
New Zealand can be very proud of what they achieved in this World Cup. A magnificent effort.
All the pressure was on England as favourites to win it before the start of the tournament.
They delivered by winning it so that shows how well they coped with the pressure right up to the final ball.
-
Like I say, a bit unfair I think Filo.
Boult had a fraction of a second to make that decision to throw the ball as he was trying to keep his balance. And there was nothing wrong with his final over. Apart from one cow-corner hoick (marvellous shot, nowt wrong with the ball) and one of the worst pieces of luck I've ever seen on a cricket field, he conceded 4 runs from 5 balls at the death.

Haha the overthrows were avoidable? He could make that throw 999 more times in the same situation and it wouldn’t turn out the way it did, it was just ridiculously bad luck. Can’t really add more than Billy has said above for the catch on the boundary or the final over.
-
Unbelievable. Unf**kingbelievable. I don't believe in that spiritual shite but that overthrow of Stokes' bat was something eerie. Meant to be. We'll never see anything like that again. England world champions - amazing stuff.

Yeah, our name was written on it today. I thought New Zealand were the slightly better team, and England had all the luck going, but that's sport.
I'm really chuffed for them tonight.
-
Didn't you lot know that God was an Englishman?😉
I would have been happy to share the trophy with New Zealand. There was so little between the teams that nobody deserved to lose. Probably the two most sporting teams generally as well.
A credit to the game and great to see it on terrestrial tv.
-
The way New Zealand are bowling we're going to lose this. What is it with England sporting teams? We just don't ever seem to be able to get over the line.
You were saying SS.
Totally amazing game.
Of course luck played a part but that is just how sport is.
There won’t be many champions of anything who didn’t have a bit of luck along the way.
WELL DONE ENGLAND.

Watching the highlights now - when Boult carries that ball over the boundary for 6, Guptil straight away puts his hands up to signal it's a 6. Absolutely unbelievable sportsmanship in that situation.
-
Yeah,I saw that MM.
That's the point isn't it? What's the point in winning if you cheat to do it?
-

I’m sure the Australians can answer that for you 😀

Good thing to do but he would have been "rumbled" anyway by the telly replays
Big up to both sides for a tremendous Final - and an outcome that would have been laughed at if someone had written it !
-

What are the chances of an angled bit of wood deflecting a ball thrown in half way down the ground? If that was in a film it would be preposterous
-
True - that throw hitting that bat at that angle and the ball making it to the Boundary ? Billions to one I suspect
If they made a film that bot would have to be CGI as they could never do it even if they tried
-

Thing is, the batsmen wouldn’t run for an accidental deflection - it’s not sporting - but if the ball goes to the boundary there’s nowt they can do..
If it was deliberate - which this wasn’t - they can be given out for obstructing the fielders..
-
Some days it's just your day.
-
If we had conceded that overthrow deflection and lost the game then I guess people would have just said that it is what happens to England teams.
The odd thing about supporters of English teams is that we somehow try to find a reason why we shouldn’t accept the good fortune.
Maybe that is why we don’t win so often.
-
Dead right - a complete fluke event - and they would not have run due to the "sportsmanship" within Cricket
However owt could be done because it deflected to the ropes for 4. The Batsman though had not crossed for a second run so we should have only got 5 but I for one will "take it"
Get in
-
The final should be a 5 game series.
-
5 may be too much, but 3 would I think be a good shout.
-
Not a big cricket fan but it was brilliant yesterday.

No. Not at all. It's about winning graciously. There is nothing worse than an ungracious winner.
It's perverse to get a stroke of luck of that magnitude and not acknowledge it. Or to have a game as knife edge as that and not tip your cap to the opponent's when that stroke of luck falls in your favour.
Maybe I'm a soft one, but in games like that, it barely matters who won in the end. Both sides were magnificent and played equal parts in the greatest game of all time.

........as did Federer and Djokovic.
Massive respect between them as there was between the two cricket teams.
As for the suggestion above that the cricket final should be decided over five or three matches, it would make the third game (in a series of three) or the fourth and fifth ones (in a series of five) a bit pointless if one team won the first two (or three).
Tickets would have been sold n advance for the remaining dead rubbers plus hotel and travel bookings made in advance too.
Nah, cup finals should be just that, a final decider.
-
England and WC wins eh?
In 1966 it was the Azerbaijani linesman and Stalingrad and the goal that clearly shouldn't have been.
Now, it looks like the umpires f**ked up yesterday in our favour.
Apparently the 2+4 overthrows 6 was wrongly given. The Law says that you count the overthrow run plus the runs already completed or in the process of being completed if the batsmen have crossed, when the "act" occurs. The "act" not being well defined, but almost certainly meaning the throw, not the deviation by the bat.
And since Stokes and Rachid hadn't crossed when the throw was released, we should have scored 1+4. And so, ended up losing by 1 run.
England and controversy eh? Be nice to see us win summat clear and simple before I shuffle off.
-
Although had 5 runs been correctly awarded at the time, the England batsman (Rachid) facing the next ball may have attempted to play differently.
We will never know.
The umpires do make mistakes, there’s several wicket decisions they got plainly wrong but when the batting side has no reviews yet.
-
Back to Yorks match. 6 wickets needed. Somerset need 165 more runs to make Yorks bat again. Should rap a win before tea today.
Hopefully. :clapping:
Maharaj with 9 wickets in the match so far.
How long is it since a spinner took 10 wickets in a match at Headingley? Answers on a post card please as i don’t know the answer.

I remember Graeme Swann tearing through New Zealand (around 2010?) but given he was usually more of a second innings bowled I’m not sure he’d have got 10. Can’t imagine it’s happened much in the county game - it’s been years since Yorkshire had a top spinner (honourable mention for Rashid but I don’t imagine he’s ever got 10 wickets in a match at Headingley).

Another snippet mentioned yesterday on the sports news; all 3 of England's World Cup victories, football in 1966, rugby in 2003, and cricket last Sunday, were won in overtime.
