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

If it were they would go to sudden death.
In reply to methodic
If it is tied, they should do an extra half
I mean Super Over
Don't forget England ALL OUT!
In reply to DAVE400
Sports is big business first. The time slot allows two overs, after that new money have to be talked about.
Tough luck NZ you were the better team today
In reply to vsingh
to me that sounds like the fairest decider
In reply to methodic
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?
In reply to DonD
Agree

Not before they tied the knot.. matches and then dragged NZ down.
The World Cup is the biggest stage in cricket this has to rank with the all time greatest.
