What. A. Final.

(Not much of a cricket fan myself, but I hear that was astounding as well.)

I'm not a cricket fan either but the end of the England v New Zealand match was extraordinary.

Football and boxing are the sports that interest me most - cricket is well down the pecking order. I would not think it possible to watch a cricket match through my fingers but I did yesterday!

Roger played outstandingly well. Joker has the age advantage on him, no doubt, and it finally caught up during the playoff round. Roger just seemed unable to handle it any longer, although maybe it was the format(??). I suppose they had to come up with a way for even matches to be put to death, but one can't help but wonder if another service break and AD might not have put RF over the top! :)

You have to give it to Novak. Saving not one, but two match points like that? Incredible.

Absolutely. I felt like he didn't have his A game most of the time, but whenever he had a nut in a crack, he managed to get it out, which is all you can hope for!

Yes same for me regarding the cricket!

Usually I only follow soccer.
