@AnikethMoh51321 @TelegraphSport @willis_macp He’s English born and raised. Mum is Italian so played t20s for Italy in the past and dad is Caribbean so had an offer in the past. But he is completely English with immigrant parents.

@NeonAlfa007 @tds122 Same icc rules applied everywhere, inc ipl. Rajasthan winning on bound count. “If” applies cos a lot of Indians complain (I’m one) about boundcount when we know how passionate they are & would celebrate. Bound Count is used to tarnish the win when Eng had nothing to do with it!

[JPanimals @Purebantz1J]

@NeonAlfa007 @tds122 Those same rules applied for ten years in ipl & we know if ind won how fans would’ve danced the streets of every village and city celebrating lifting the World Cup. Besides another super over and it’s only 1 of 2 teams winning it!

[JPanimals @Purebantz1J]

@KrispKiwi @Sportsfreakconz @tds122 But in an alternate universe with 4 needed off 2 or 3 to tie, with greater attacking intent required, rashid & stokes would have to go for it. Last ball a full toss that was pushed for 2. No one knows what would’ve happened here. All 3 results still possible!

[JPanimals @Purebantz1J]

@srivatsank24 @jamiepersonaI And if there were other rules then they would’ve been abided by as well; if another super over then they could’ve won as well. Boundary count rule in place for 10 years including IPL.

3 runs needed off 1 ball, Steve Smith should try to hit boundary.

Meanwhile Smith 🧠 https://t.co/Gaj22fZ9wl

@AlokSah70897000 @LokeshBhavsar24 @Dext__er @_kumbhkaran Boundary count invented in 2009. Used in bcci ipl for ten years bro… did they predict in 2009 England would make the final? It was also available in the 2011 & 2015 wc final. That’s a fact!

[JPanimals @Purebantz1J]

@The___vengeance @Alasdair333 It was used in the ipl for 10 years i.e bcci. Did the mcc /icc predict an eng final in 2019. Also , if no boundary count then how do you know who would’ve won without it, say another super over?

[JPanimals @Purebantz1J]

@AryanVkf It was intelligent when they won but may fans criticised England’s victory. Eng kept that last ball to a single and won on boundary count just like smith scored 2 here.

[JPanimals @Purebantz1J]

@IainP52938 @shobhit211221 @kohlichronicles Precisely!

[JPanimals @Purebantz1J]

@shobhit211221 @kohlichronicles Not necessarily as you don’t know what what have happened with the greater intent needed to get 4 off 2 to win or 3 to tie eve with rash on strike. It’s a different game then in this alternate universe with all 3 results still possible

[JPanimals @Purebantz1J]

@BhushanManmath @manga_varun Don’t forget 6 to tie. 6 off 2 balls has been done on quite a few occasions. And then super over

[JPanimals @Purebantz1J]

@cricketaakash You missed a test match against Zimbabwe plus two tests in recent years against Ireland. It’s easy to create a one sided narrative if you really want to.

[JPanimals @Purebantz1J]

@kwegad @CricketopiaCom Without any of the controversies if eng was given the opportunity to win another way, such as another super over, they may also have won. Rules were the same for everyone before the match started & boundary count was used for 10 years prior!

[JPanimals @Purebantz1J]

@jeetsingh03 @CricketopiaCom Bro, boundary count was in play for 10 years before this, and conditions were written before the tournament. No one gave anything to anyone! Same rules applied to everybody.

[JPanimals @Purebantz1J]

@aravind Fair. However, I have also seen many sour grapes from Indians when others do well, particularly pak & eng in cricket, often blaming others or citing this or that reason. It's human nature and it's wrong. Congrats to Gukesh, well deserved.

[JPanimals @Purebantz1J]

@akshaay_pande @tds122 SL & WI were part of the wtc cycle this time. No one can be taken for granted, e.g. NZ beating India 3 nil. No eng fan thinks we're better than Ind or aus. I dont. Generally, eng do well against SA & NZ as well. Eng not the best side, but not the worst.

[JPanimals @Purebantz1J]

@ragav_x Is the plan to create multiple ipl teama in future? Like football ?

[JPanimals @Purebantz1J]

@AdityaP09895329 @rs_3702 Root averages 36 in aus & has 5 or 6 tests to potentially increase that. 4 innings in bangladesh he has averaged 25, small sample size. Everywhere else he has been superb. Just needs a few more in aus.
