Surprised New Zealand did not make something bigger of that obstruction.

Why have a law that is not used.

Well congrats to England, finally they won, but at the next rules meeting that Law should be change, the batting team should not benefits from that situation, a dead ball should be the outcome from that occurrence.

Why the hell a dead ball wasn't called is beyond my thinking.

boy so the rules dey

 
NineMiles 2019-07-15 08:27:48 

It was never a dead ball... The fielder was attempting to run out Stokes, the ball deflected off the batsman and went to the boundary and the additional runs does count. It is not the first time that has happened in a game of cricket.

Get over it people and accept England won and are WORLD CHAMPIONS!

Live with it! razz lol

Taufel says, 5 runs should have been awarded and not 6.

And he is right.

Who cares... The well mannered Kiwis have accepted the result while the bad minded SORE LOSERS here are still bawling their eyes out! razz
