EXCLUSIVE A former international umpire and member of the MCC laws sub-committee has conceded a “clear mistake” was made in the CWCFinal19, reports ZAC RAYSON. FoxCricket

The relevant clause from the MCC rulebook is this:If the boundary results from an overthrow or from the wilful act of a fielder, the runs scored shall be— and the runs completed by the batsmen, together with the run in progress if they had already crossed at the instant of the throw or act.

Given that the batsman had not crossed for their second run at the instant Martin Guptill threw the ball, that run should not have counted. Additionally, given that the batsmen did not cross at the time of the throw, Taufel confirmed that as per the rules of the game, the batsmen should have swapped sides for the next delivery.

Kiwis left dazed and confused after extraordinary World Cup finalFor the second World Cup in succession, New Zealand have finished with runners-up medals after one of the tightest endings in cricket history. SMHsport Which ball (s) was used in the Super Over? SMHsport I would say gutted not dazed. What a horrible way to determine a WC champion. SMHsport Final should be played again, or 1 over. The stupid rule of boundaries is ridiculous.
