WATCH: Highlights of that ridiculous Cricket World Cup final
Is it the best cricket match ever played? Or just the most ridiculous? Certainly a contender for the closest after being tied not once but twice before England recorded a resounding 26-17 victory on boundary countback.
Here are eight minutes of highlights which, having not yet watched, I’m going to assume are just the ricochet off Ben Stokes’ bat for four and then the Super Overs.
What an extraordinary day.
