Hawthorn beat us in the final H&A round in 2010 from my memory. I think Beams missed a late shot to win the game?

Hawthorn beat us in the final H&A round in 2010 from my memory. I think Beams missed a late shot to win the game?
Been up all night too and feeling very much the worse for wear . Commiserations to the Kiwis - they had some ridiculously bad luck there. Boult stepping on the rope as he caught it and then 4 extra runs off Stokes' bat as he dived for a run.
Not to mention drawn super over and obscure ruling decider.
Yeah the only reason I didn't mention that was that my tiebreaker would've been who finished higher on the ladder pre-finals and England win there too. Just one of those "meant to be" things I guess which is a shame. Not to mention the Poms could've done with a dose of humility leading into The Ashes.
Why couldn't it just be a tie?Off the bat for four extras (after two were run) was the real bad luck.
A tie in my view with the extra over still riptide could have gone another over each. But the rule is actually clear, same as it favoured England.
As England was higher placed over NZ on the overall table that might have been best and fairest result if tied xtra super over was still tied.
Joint winners? Not the worst suggestion.Why couldn't it just be a tie?
I have to admit my care factor borders on zero. England were the only leg of what looked like a horror trifecta of sports results last weekend - I expected us to lose, I expected Serena to win and I expected England to win. By the time the cricket was on, I could not have cared less.
If it was a test match - the tie would be declared a resultJoint winners? Not the worst suggestion.
The World Cup is the one one day tournament that really counts.
My care factor was England losing plus I like Kiwis.
Was a sensational match.
If that's true NZ should appeal. If England were to lose the world cup on appeal that would make my life completeAfter all that it looks like they robbed NZ another way too - the umps interpretation of the 6 runs given on the "overthrows off the bat" was wrongly judged and they should've got 5 runs ,not 6. This has been confirmed by Simon Taufel who is on the rules committee.
Very tough call as it means the umps had to have noticed whether the batsmen had crossed when the throw was made.
Is it a coincidence that Kiwi colours resemble the Pies?
All technical interpretation.If that's true NZ should appeal. If England were to lose the world cup on appeal that would make my life complete
It may be a technical interpretation, but if it can be demonstrated that they only legally scored 5 runs then the wrong team was awarded victory. One day cricket is a farce this just proves itAll technical interpretation.
Shame but England will retain the WC.
Australia 5 titles
India 2
WI 2
England 1
Sri Lanka 1
Pakistan 1
Finals but no wins
New Zealand (2 finals)
No finals at all - nothing
South Africa
Zimbabwe
Bangladesh

A simple request from them, a review of the footage, and there wouldn’t be a discussion.
Why didn’t they do that?
Or simply, didn’t they know/understand the rules?
So what is the reason behind this post? I'm not sure anyone other than I was trying to avoid some gardening. I better get back to it.
