I fully agree with you. This kind of finish should be reserved for 20/20.A tie is the proper result.

Sports is big business first. The time slot allows two overs, after that new money have to be talked about.

The # of wickets lost is not a factor. In this kind of game it's the score over 50 overs that counts. This is the greatest world cup final ever played. It will remain as such not because England won in a super over, but because the scores over 50 overs were 241. This and the Windies /Oz tie in 1960 will most likely remain as the greatest and most exciting endings in cricket history.

What about WI Champions Trophy win over England in early 2000s and the T20 over England a few years ago that Braithwaite won for us?

Of course it was the fairer decision. Most fours - utter rubbish
