Smokersmith Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 On reflection, I also believe the pitch was a leveller, and helped by NZ raising their game. Nice not to wear the tag ‘plucky losers’ for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttfjlc Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I'm so pleased that England won it, can't honestly say I've seen a final that closely contested, however I was wondering what people's thoughts were regarding the pitches during the World Cup? Bob Willis said they weren't the best, Kane Williamson said they weren't what they were expecting and I personally thought playing at the 'home of cricket' the pitch for the final should of been a belter but didn't seem great, for Joe Root to only get 7 runs from 30 balls tells a tale.

muncher Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 They went on about, showing of cricket to the world and youngsters that hadn't seen the game. Then produce a pitch like that, should of been better than that. I think they were lucky it ended like it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If bairstow bat was one inch left if Boult hadn’t stood on the boundary if the ball didn’t hit stokes bat and end up on the boundary for 2 runs and a four in the end it came down to who hit the most boundary’s and nothing else only ifs and buts Edited July 16, 2019 by Jacko3275 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
