Unfortunately, I don't work with any Aussies but I do with a kiwi...

I work with lots of Indians lovely people who have now fallen into two camps, those with a back up England shirt under their Indian one, and those that are now no longer interested in Cricket.

Earls Court should be quite quiet tonight, at least Lyon & Co won't be shooting their mouths off for a couple of weeks (until The Ashes).

[Andy]

Dame Edna, Rolf Harris, and sir Les Patterson your boys took a hell of a beating...

[jwb]

Well two out of three ain’t bad

[bwildered]

Got to be in it ( final ) to win it .

So now let's win it .

[Valentines Park]

Only caught the end but that was a terrific advert for the game.

Especially as the England football team will never win the equivalent again.

[bwildered]

If you wrote a storybook finish, this was it . Roy of the Rovers stuff for cricket . Better check my blood pressure.
Remarkable .

[Slogger]

Astonishing finish that I just got back from the ground to see.

[IlfordEagle]

Me too, now England have finally got to the top in football, cricket & Rugby Union albeit spread over 53 years!

Whilst popping open the Champagne lets be true Essex supporters & have a bit of a moan. The bowlers did us proud but with the notable exceptions of Stokes, Butler & Bairstow the batting was awful & after the early collapse we really required Lady Luck to get us over the line & barely deserved to do so.

It would have been even more so for a Kiwi team that wasn’t particularly strong even on paper.

I’m not sure we were the best at the tournament- the Aussies missed Khawaja, something I never thought I’d say, the Windies blew it at Old Trafford and whatever goes on in the mind of certain Indian or Pakistani crickets I’m not sure.

Obviously a great game to complete the competition. It would have been great sportsmanship if Stokes had refused to run off the ball following the 4 overthrows. Perhaps an even greater legacy than the one we have got as a result of this great finish to a game.

[Bath Hammer]

The best team in the tournament has not always won. A lot depends on luck & how you play on the day. We have possibly been the best team in the competition in the past & lost out. The only disappointing thing this time is that we seem to have had most of the luck but failed to win. It should have been deemed a tie & the Cup shared.

[Valentines Park]

Don't agree with sharing.

Except when Kent had to share the County Championship.
