A Kiwi, Ben Stokes, breaks the heart of 50 lakhs Kiwis today

[Ab Fan]

An inning, which Ben Stokes, can remember for the lifetime, a story that he will tell his grand-childs, a villian who turned out to be the lifetime hero for England, a team that has finally won the World Cup for the first time..

But it's a heartbreak for NZ, fought hard, gave their all, kept fighting against luck, kept giving their best possible but in the end have to satisfy with that inch short of a run in a super over from what could have been their stories,their moment..

Congratulations England, Well deserved! New Zealand, it couldn't have been more closer.

 

[JaDed]

Yup, basically the best players were all Kiwis.

How cruel a game can be for NZ..

He maybe kiwi by birth but learnt his cricket in England he isn't a KP who jumped ship he is someone who has through the English system.

He is a professional and he did what he had to do. Well played, Stokes.

Stokes and Archer two most important players in this WC aren't from England.Its like France winning Fifa 2018 with a lots of African players.

1 lakh = 100,000.

50 lakhs = 5,000,000 (5-million).

Butler too? Really?

Butler too? Really?

Buttler also deserves credit. He batted really well and showed that he is really a very fantastic cricketer and not a bottler as some liked to say..

I guess one could say this was truly a victory for global cricket. Not just. England but New Zealanders, Irish, West Indian won along with few other nations I may be missing that are playing in the England XI.

Both times when France won the Football World Cup it was largely due to players of African origin.

Passed the Tebbit test

That test only applied to brown and black people!

I believe the majority of the players you are refering to were born in france!
Not "imported" into the french team to win a world cup, unlike england with morgan, roy and archer!!

 

[Artaxerxes]

Morgan is Irish
Roy and Curran are South African
Stokes is from New Zealand,
Archer is from Barbados,
Adil and Moeen are grand children of Pakistan origin immigrants

Lakh and crore are also used in Pakistan.
