Take up baking, not sport: Neesham to kids post WC loss

Neesham first tweeted congratulating England, saying that he hoped to not remember the last half hour of the World Cup finals over the next decade

Left shattered after a dramatic loss in the World Cup 2019 final, New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham, who came into bat in the Super Over, expressed gratitude towards the fans for their support, but also advised children not to take up sports. He first tweeted congratulating England, saying that he hoped to not remember the last half hour of the World Cup finals over the next decade. "That hurts. Hopefully there's a day or two over the next decade where I don't think about that last half hour. Congratulations England, well deserved," he tweeted.

That hurts. Hopefully there’s a day or two over the next decade where I don’t think about that last half hour. Congratulations @ECB_cricket , well deserved.

He then tweeted thanking all the fans for their support: "Thank you to all the supporters that came out today. We could hear you the whole way. Sorry we couldn't deliver what you so badly wanted."

And then he tweeted advising children not to take up sport. "Kids, don't take up sport. Take up baking or something. Die at 60 really fat and happy."

Kids, don’t take up sport. Take up baking or something. Die at 60 really fat and happy.
