The England cricket team represents England and Wales in international cricket. Since 1997 it has been governed by the England and Wales Cricket Board, having been previously governed by Marylebone Cricket Club from 1903 until the end of 1996. Wikipedia

Boullt for that caught 6, and then the throw hitting Stokes bat for 4 more...unbelievable..

felt a bit sorry for NZ, good side and probably deserved to win.

Could equally hit his stumps off the bat and he’d have been run out. Just the rub of the green on the day.

Why was it a six when it came of Stokes bat?

What a tense super over, unreal scenes that will unlikely happen again, Boult when he caught that 6 should have fell forward and they would have won but he instinctly fell back, shame cause I thought NZ deserved the win, Boults bowing in the superover was poor tho, when NZ had 9 off their first 2 balls I thought they'd have it but there you go

Anyone who thinks Wales won yesterday is deluding themselves :banghead:

Well done England, but the only Welsh born play in the tournament was representing Pakistan.

We need our own team now. There is no way the cricketing infrastructure in Afghanistan is better than here.

They don't play in Afghanistan. They started playing as refugees in a Pakistan camp.
Learn't the game with Pakistan assistance, developed and had plenty of time and training, and have now progressed to a good standard.

Unlike the England football team, which I have no connection with, it is the complete opposite with the cricket team. The team historically comprises players from all the home nations, mostly English as you would expect but I have no issues with Wales, Scotland or N Ireland not being represented in the name of the team. It will always be 'my' team, something I would never in a million years say about the England football team !

Totally agree .. Wales has had a huge number of players who’ve represented England .. Simon Jones was an integral member of the famous ashes winning team in 2005 & remember feeling immensely proud ....Proud too that the ECB have used our ground for Ashes matches and one day internationals ...

Completely agree with both of you. The pinnacle of any homegrown players career would be to play for England, not Wales in the minor counties league.

I agree, why the f**k do we have a welsh footie team too, Wales have historically been shite at football so why are we taking the opportunity away from Welsh kids to play for the former world cup winners and current semi finalists under the England banner?

I can remember back to the days of Tony Lewis, a Welshman who was captain of Glamorgan & England.
