The BBC quoted someone on ttter

Just an information. If Super Over was also tied then Pakistan would have won the match on hitting more boundaries than England. #PakvEng

Close game and great to win 3-0 in the T20 and 3-1 in the ODI

Proof that England can win at Cricket, but only when the dead hand of Cook is lifted from the tiller.


Reading the series report in the Telegraph, I spotted this

Pakistan’s running this series has veered somewhere between “inept” and “two men getting trapped in the same section of a revolving door”

Compared to the last few overs when the Pakistan edge of the seat run chase was on (and compared to the previous run chase too) that super over was a total anticlimax for me. None of the tension of the previous overs and goodness me did it take for ever to get those two overs bowled?

IMO something else needs to be thought up to avoid draws (what is wrong with a draw in T20?) as that was a dull end to a very exciting game.
