After the unexpected loss at the World Cup 2019, New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham advised children not to take up sports as career prospect.
"Kids, don't take up sport. Take up baking or something. Die at 60 really fat and happy," Jimmy Neesham said in a tweet after England won their maiden World Cup at the Lord's on Sunday.

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.

By expressing himself, he first tweeted on his official handle congratulating England and said 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 wrote.
In his second tweet, he also thanked all the fans for their support saying "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."
During the match between England and New Zealand, for the very first time, the scores were levelled twice in the game; one after the allotted 100 overs and the other after the Super Over. But the game had to end and the superior boundary count gave England the trophy for the very first time.
