CWC Final - Black Caps v England
-
@Mokey yep this.
I've played hundreds of games of organised cricket matches. Every time a throw hits the batsman, there's an awkward moment of whether to run or not. 8 times out of 10 the batters don't take the run, mostly out of guilt because everyone knows they didn't "earn" that run - seldom do they ricochet to the boundary.ICC should make a blanket law that deems every throw hitting a batter as dead. I can't think of any downside to that
We already have laws for obstructing the field

Then maybe they need to take away the rule that when the batsman hits it, the bowlers fingers deflect it and the batsman backing up gets run out.
Rarely any skill in that and often loads of bad luck.
I used to take my indoor cricket pretty seriously and remember cross batting a glorious "seven" ( six plus the single ) only for it to go between the tiny gap where the indoor netball goal was. Umpire called dead ball. Pissed me right off.

@Chris-B umm, what scenario is that?
Should add that all completed runs before the hit are counted and if no run after the batsman is hit to account for the dubious scenario of fielders throwing at batsmen to prevent a run???
If hit trying complete the first run (single), ball rebowled might work
A scenario I can't see happening, what if the fielder trying to save runs by hitting the batsman, misses? Team going to be happy with non backed up overthrows?
Not much of a percentage play that one, unless there's something I'm missing.

Yeah makes sense to me. Hitting a running batsman would be very hard to do deliberately without it being blazingly obvious, and probably offer at least as good a chance to run someone out as you would have to save the run.
I wouldn't even worry about rebowling. Maybe allow a run to be counted if the batsmen have crossed?
That would mean that Stokes would have been awarded the second but not the boundary. Seems a fair outcom.

The problem with the overthrows is I have never seen it ruled that way. I don't see why they would suddenly say it was only five runs because it is a final.
There are a limited range of scenarios where you would be heading off for a second with the throw incoming.

What's the right term here? Disingenuous? Straw man?

If that is true, hats off to Stokes for the gesture

@canefan status of this game keeps rising IMO.

This tournament sets the bar that all future ones must aspire to. The ICC need to see that pure scoring doesn't create excitement. Never mind counting the number of 4s and 6s. The tension and excitement of having a real contest between bowler and batsman in conditions that could be harnessed by good execution on both sides made it great.
-
@canefan yeah the arbitrary deciding point of contention aside and despite the fact there werent the numerous games with 400+ scores that were predicted, there was alot of drama, tension and competition throughout, that you have to say made it a roaring success.

Because it is nearly always from a sprint for a quick single where they have crossed before the throw.

@Donsteppa so the 2 finalists were also the 2 'unluckiest' teams....does that make them even better (play wise having to fight against bad luck as well?)

Do you think Kane was aware of the batsmen crossing rule as does not seem to be any mention of him asking umpires if it should have been 5 or 6 and which batsmen should be facing the next delivery?

except they hadn't crossed at the time the ball was thrown in, which is the specified point at which the law states a run can be counted in the case of an overthrow

Based on what i've read from interviews, he did query the amount of runs counted initially before the umpires made their final decision after consulting with the third umpire

That was in a hypothetical future rule change where the ball is dead if it hits a batsman after a fielder returns the ball, so the boundary overthrow rule doesn't apply.
