Just as Djokovic beats Federer 13-12 in a fifth set tie-break to equal Borg, the cricket World Cup Final (England v New Zealand) reaches a tie (241 runs each, Ben Stokes the hero)
What happens now ? A "super over" is played.
Three batsmen are nominated to face six balls. One bowler is picked. The team with the most runs wins.  |

Don't forget the big push-bike race in France (that really takes fitness!) and the fast car procession at Silverstone. |

As with a lot of things in life, it's somehow more enjoyable when it's unexpected. I was listening to TMS in the garden with a jug of Midori and grapefruit.  There were some great interviews afterwards, Stokes took his shoes off to ease his aching feet, prompting the crowd to do likewise and wave them in the air. Epic.
Yes the Botham/Willis Test of 1981 is the only one that compares, I caught that one too - live on tv when I took a half-day off work.
