My emphasis.

The batsmen in the case had not crossed when the ball was thrown, This is a pretty obscure law though, so the umpires can be forgiven.

Well, was the ‘act’ the fielder’s throw, it was it the instant the ball hit Ben Stokes’ bat? Either way, I think you are detracting from our marvellous victory.

No no no no no no no.
You should know better than to publish the facts.
Musn't let the rules of the game prevent England being awarded the world cup.

Two nations, England and Wales.

You are confusing the England and Wales Cricket Board, the administrative body that runs the game here, and the national team, which is called England.

You are also detracting from our marvellous victory, and ... (you can probably guess what might have followed).

Where is LPH when she is needed, could have asked the gurus at Lords for a judgment ( LOL as if they would disagree with result and give NZ the trophy ).

Chatting about cricket with 4 or 5 chaps with almost no knowledge of the game, and particularly a Scot with a chip on his shoulder, has been amusing - as it always is.

Best stick to soccer and bingo chaps, whatever you detractors say the record will show England as cricket ODI world champions.

Perhaps Scotland will win the second tier competition and qualify for the 2023 World Cup- or perhaps it’s team will lose to Nepal next month (sorry, I could not help that one, but you have to admit it is funny).

Best wishes,

Alan

Actually, I am English through and through so I am a winner not a loser. If you support Northants CC (as you should goven where you say you live) that makes you a loser.

Actually, I have respect for the laws of the game as I used to play it, albeit at quite a low standard. Never played football at any level apart from park kickabouts; a game for oiks.

You know very well that you took that quote out of context Heorot; you are very aware it did not pertain to you (but to another contributor that claimed his country had beaten England at cricket recently, as if that would be relevant).

Why did you do that Heorot - did you want to fabricate some pretence by which to call me a loser?

I’m from Hampshire (and proudly a Hampshire Hog), we are having a pretty fair season (4th in division one at the moment). I do sometimes watch Northants with my neighbours at the excellent twenty20 bash evenings - if they were my county I’d be very proud - and certainly would not call my neighbours losers.
