Ski: Watched my first ever cricket match yesterday! To think I thought cricket was boring! Wow! (All matches are that thrilling, right....?)
Photology: The most amazing roller-coaster ride thanks to the cricket. Can't stop watching highlights
Tommy Dinsdale: Streamed it on the train back from a golfing weekend in Leeds, then straight in the pub at Euston for the super over - forgotten about the +47 round already

Apparently, we won the World Cup by "pure luck"...
Bitter much?!

Alan Davidson: One of the pleasures of being a volunteer is you get to see history being made, as at Lord’s yesterday. You could have heard a pin drop as the last ball of the super over was played. Great memories of being a Cricketeer.
Will: The Edgbaston 2005 test finished a day before my 13th birthday, the final day made me fall in love with a game. When we won I immediately asked for a cricket bat for my birthday. So many kids will do the same after watching that finale yesterday. Special.
That is exactly why I am utterly in love with sport.
England win the Cricket World Cup
Tom Fordyce
BBC chief sports writer at Lord's
On a grey Sunday evening the sun came out at Lord's and the golden hour came.
When you love sport, you understand how it can take you to places little else can. You could watch it all your life and never quite fathom what happened between 6.30 and 7.30pm in two sun-kissed rectangles of grass seven or so miles apart across England's capital city.
A World Cup final that might just be the greatest game of cricket in history, a Wimbledon men's final longer than any that has come before.
Because this was summer's sporting day of days, they stepped hand in hand. You couldn't watch and you couldn't look away. You hated it and you loved it and you lost yourself completely to it.
No-one had ever seen Lord's like this, a beautiful sedate museum turned into a cavorting mess. No-one had really seen cricket like this.
There is a line often brought out when sport does these sorts of things - you couldn't write this - and a hoary riposte: haven't you seen Star Wars, or read Harry Potter?
On a day when sometimes nothing appeared to make sense, both these contradictory positions became true. You couldn't write it, because it was a plotline too twisted to make dramatic sense, too confusing, too remote from what has gone before.
We're OK with spaceships and child wizards because they have been imagined before. Plenty had dreamed of England winning the World Cup. That's where logic waved farewell.

Nicky's just done a pretty good job of summing up Sunday's super over spectacular on BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast...
Quote MessageI've never seen a finish to a major sporting event like that.

Matt: What an emotional day at lords. I gave up countless times only to be pulled back in. Tears rolled and voices were lost. Scenes!!
Lloyd Parker-Wilson: A very late night flip-flopping between agony and ecstasy cheering on the boys in sky blue here in Tokyo. Only adrenaline and repeatedly reading the match report is keeping me awake at the desk today. Did it really happen?! #bbccricket, external
Yes, Lloyd, it really did. I'm feeling very emotional, too.
Quote MessageIt’s a bit morning after the night before, or the afternoon before. I’ve just crawled out of bed, my voice is shot. Well, what do you say? What an incredible day. We will never see anything like that ever again. I just can’t see how that will ever be replicated again by anything.

You'd think as a journalist, I would be able to sum Sunday's events up quite well, but to be honest, I'm struggling to choose words that encompass just exactly what Eoin Morgan & Co actually did.
Perhaps you can help.
Were you there witnessing the action from Lord's?
Did you have a cricket-themed party at home?
Maybe you're a non-cricket fan, and you've been converted after England's heroics?
Whether it was your first ever time watching cricket, or you're a die-hard fan, let me know what you thought and how you're feeling this morning.

The morning after the night before, and yes, it happened. It wasn't a dream.
England won the Cricket World Cup.
Some of you might be starting your week off a little worse for wear.
Thankfully for you, I'm here to get you through the day and help you relive one of the greatest moments in English sporting history we've ever seen.
Morning!

"I don't like cricket, oh no... I LOVE IT!"
