“It certainly wasn’t just one extra run. There were so many moments that could’ve gone either way, but congratulations to England – they’ve had an incredible campaign and they deserve it. It’s been challenging. The pitches have been different to what was expected. Not many 300+ totals as expected. The NZ side showed a great amount of heart to get us to this point, all leading to a tie in the final, but it just wasn’t meant to be today. We’re a well-balanced attack. The guys are shattered at the moment – it is devastating,” he said while he received the coveted award from Sachin Tendulkar.
