'A clear mistake': Umpire says England incorrectly awarded run in World Cup finalThe ICC won't be drawn on debate as to whether England was incorrectly awarded an extra run in the last over of the World Cup final following overthrows. I would expect the poms, being gentlemanly and great sportsmen, to hand over the world cup to NZ. That's what demoralises players on the opposing team. Why bother when the Umpire cheats. Umpires make decisions on their interpretation of the rules. So in conclusion, rules are just guidelines. Ok, got it & good to know. The farce continues.
