England captain Eoin Morgan 'never imagined' win - chairman - 07-15-2019
England captain Eoin Morgan says he "never allowed" himself to imagine lifting the World Cup before his side's astonishing victory over New Zealand in a thrilling final at Lord's.
The game went to a super over after both sides scored 241 from 50 overs.
"I've said incredible 50 times since lifting the trophy," Morgan told Test Match Special.
"The planning, hard work, dedication, commitment and the little bit of luck really did get us over the line."
Morgan said he was "very thankful" that - despite England's three defeats in the group stage - "people believed because we believed".
But he added: "I'd never allow myself to imagine winning the World Cup. Cynical me!"

My heart goes out to Kane Williamson and BLACKCAPS. But congratulations for playing with dignity and class. You made a lot more friends and did your country proud.
