towny44 228 Report post Posted July 15, 2019 Yes we watched it and what a great match Dayybe, I thought we had bl;own it several times especially after New Zealands 6 in the super over, what a Topsy Turvy game it was. As for Wimbledon and the Grand Prix we watched those as well, in fact the TV remote has never worked harder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mitch 324 Report post Posted July 16, 2019 ive been on quite a few forums following the cricket and the awful comments following taufels stirring are horrendous, however when you look at those complaining and making a fuss, they are all either indian,australian or scottish. not a kiwi among them. i think the kiwi skipper and his team have handled themselves impeccably given the way lady luck conspired against them. given taufel is on the icc rules committee he should have kept his mouth shut and dealt with it internally through the umpires system but its no suprise really given his history against england and the ashes coming up later hes obviously getting his digs in early. he wasnt keen when people highlighted errors he made during his carreer.

In all sports around the world there's always an element of luck and misfortune, England on this occasion had the rub of the green and are world champions, New Zealand played an exceptional part and their true sportsmanship and professionalism has shone through following it, which is a great example of how sport should be played both when winning or in defeat. The likes of Simon Taufel are obviously green with envy of our achievements hence their comments, never mind eh they are the losers unlike us HLM. 2 Davybe and Oldworldtraveller reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cruise chef 865 Report post Posted July 31, 2019 Oh the love of ship internet (not). We were trying to watch the final but with 2 balls to go the ship lost signal. Loving the comments re Taufel though and it reminded me of a shirt that a crowd member was wearing at Trent Bridge recently in the World Cup which as you will read below was priceless Australian Rules of Cricket Bat YES Ball Yes Sandpaper YES Dignity xxxxxxx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
