gutted for NZ - that foot on the rope for the 6 such a sickener, but just the most tremendous theatre
wow

Thought the deflection off Stokes bat for an extra 4 was worse.

that was pure luck - NZ guy had a team-mate he could've flipped the six-ball to for the dismissal, bad call not to do it, cost 'em everything....

England got every bit of luck going there really but probably over the tournament they were the best team- and the Kiwis had it literally in their hands when Boult took the catch from Stokes, that wasn't bad luck.

What a game. Well done England. Feel so sorry for NZ - better team on the day (just) but had no luck.

Horrible way to lose - imagine playing all that cricket and losing out by something as arbitrary as most boundaries tie breaker (I mean, why not most wickets?).

Loved the tournament though. Got to six of the games and had a great time, and an astonishing final.

Nae luck, Kiwis.  

Justice would see the teams sharing the trophy.

does seem a bit of a shite way to decide things when you consider that NZ made their fifty-over total losing two fewer wickets than england - i'd consider that a more significant factor than the 'number of boundaries' count...
