47k looked about right in a 130k seat stadium once the sun went down.

Two consecutive world cup matches between these two teams, both won by New Zealand. Shame for England this one was unable to be manipulated their way through bullsh!t umpiring.
one sided game but loved every minute of that partnership.
Surely Conway should've got man of the match. Will Young wouldn't be feeling great
Devon Conway is an absolute gun player.
yep you'd think it would be a safe bet that Ravindra will replace Young when Williamson returns
Pretty handy bowler too

Ravindra also took the wicket of Brook which might have swung the man of the match in his favour, Conway stiff to miss out on it though.
Why do people bag India for 47k to a game not involving them?
We had 16k or so rock up to some of our games for the T20 WC.

And with good reason......They didn't win the previous World cup via cricket means either
yep still salty.
I see they've changed the rules for this WC. Super overs until a result.

Watched the England innings and thought they lost their way in the 2nd 25 overs and ended up 75 to 100 below par. NZ batsmen proved this - chased down 282 with ease. Well done Kiwis.

While I understand the disappointing nature of the stupid rule that won England the last tournament, can someone explain to me why people still flog themselves silly over the deflection from Stokes’ bat? It happens a lot, and it isn’t as though it was deliberate.
It’s not like England did something wrong to win the tournament

They lost to a team that were struggling to field a full side
It's just England that's why

While the boundary countback rule stunk and the deflection from Stokes bat was horribly unfortunate, not many would have been upset if New Zealand won the 2019 World Cup final in that manner.

There's a pretty big Venn diagram involving people who take the piss out of England's moral victory in the Ashes but who can't get past England apparently unfairly winning the 2019 CWC. Not sure they understand the inherent contradiction between those two viewpoints.

Because their population is 50 times bigger than ours, and the crowd was appalling at the start of the game. Did look to build to an extent though as the game progressed. The issue was playing that game in the 130k seat stadium on a Thursday
a second super over would be far more exciting to watch then counting up boundaries
was a ridiculous rule

There should not have even been a super over. Scores were not level after 50 overs. England cheated and counted an extra run that wasn't there in the overthrows. An overthrow went to the boundary, they turned for a second and had not completed the second run when it hit the rope. They counted the second run but it was never completed. This isn't even a bad judgement call it was simply wrong.
He clearly completed the second run, as the ball hit the bat when he was diving to make his ground at the striker's end.
Anyway, I'm not sure how you conclude that England cheated.

It's the run AFTER it hit his bat that shouldn't have been counted.

Here you go, suck on this. They cheated.
Umpires made 'error of judgement' with overthrows - Taufel
The former umpire said only five runs should have been rewarded to England for the overthrow that hit Ben Stokes' bat and ran to the boundary

They didn't cheat. But they benefitted from an error by the umpires/scorers.Here you go, suck on this. They cheated.

If it weren't England, they'd have looked the rule up.
