Exhausted......some day of sport

BGP, TDF, Wimbledon and the most extraordinary match I have ever seen with us finally winning the World cup in Cricket. What with the final going on and on in Tennis and me glued to 2 screens with neck straining at both, have to admit, sort of lost the tennis flow as just couldn't believe what was happening at Lords. Had to lie down after that..................Well done England but should have been a draw and called it a day.(nah, we won) That was some game and they don't come down to the wire or closer than that......only other time that was equally enthralled when Taylor beat Davis on a black ball on the last frame in Snooker.

Exciting stuff, but I can't understand why there isn't a rule to say that if the Super Over is tied, they repeat Super Overs until there's a decisive result, rather than going to the "boundary" tie-break rule.

I agree - and there should be no breaks for food. Although the teams will be allowed head torches to play through the night. Who knows, it could still be playing yet. :D

To encourage teams to try and get more boundaries presumably.

Sounds sensible from a spectator point of view.

On another tack, there's any interesting discussion on the 2+4 runs over at the Sports Bar:

England's one day cricket team won the world cup - isn't that the team that Scotland thrashed by 6 runs last year. Presumably we didn't compete in the World Cup to give England a chance. :D
