To think Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler should be allowed to win the World Cup

New Zealand have their rugby World Cup. England should be allowed to win a World Cup for once. Otherwise it's not fair. Fact.

Totally agree but it ain't looking likely right now Angry

OKBobble · 14/07/2019 17:24

Then they had bloody well better get on with it! There was too much smug its in the bag talk since the semis.

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 14/07/2019 17:27

I've just seen the graph comparing the two innings and it's not as bad as I was expecting. I'm not giving up hope yet!

KimberWozRobbed · 14/07/2019 17:30

No, New Zealand can win this world cup and then Wales can have the Rugby World Cup in the Autumn. It's only fair.

AlunWynsKnee · 14/07/2019 17:31

Kimber yes please!

luckylavender · 14/07/2019 17:34

England already have a Rugby World Cup. As @KimberWozRobbed said, it's high time Wales (aka Land of Rugby) won it.

It's definitely our year!

AlunWynsKnee · 14/07/2019 17:42

It's definitely time. Gatland and Alun Wyn can have knighthoods from Prince Charles in the 50th year of him being PoW.
God knows how my dd will react. He's getting more excitable with every Grand Slam :)

Well they'd better get a move on because they are in danger of running out of overs at this rate... and I'm in danger of dropping off to sleep

NorthernGravy · 14/07/2019 18:06

Just had to pour myself a glass of wine to get through the last ten overs.

Bezalelle · 14/07/2019 18:10

New Zealand are an absolute sporting embarrassment. They let a middle-aged white bloke steal a medal off a young woman of colour at the weight lifting.

WeirdCatLady · 14/07/2019 18:14

It would be very nice but I’m worried we’re going to fall slightly short 😞

minionsrule · 14/07/2019 18:20

Go jos Grin, get in!

minionsrule · 14/07/2019 18:21

Go Ben.... both on half centuries

Sandsnake · 14/07/2019 18:22

Agreed. Just off to be sick...

It's agony

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 14/07/2019 18:30

You jinxed it OP!

Terryscombover · 14/07/2019 18:32

Hiding.

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 14/07/2019 18:44

I can't cope with this!

Terryscombover · 14/07/2019 18:47

Shit

WeirdCatLady · 14/07/2019 19:03

Oh my fucking god! Super over!

randomchap · 14/07/2019 19:34

Best match ever

WeirdCatLady · 14/07/2019 19:49

Yes indeed, so close 😳

Well played both teams 🏏🏆
