Going to have a read through it later. Bet there was loads of meltdowns and tantrums when it looked lost

That's surely the important bit and means that it was right to give 6?It's clear that my post above is drivel. So I take back what I said about Taufel... he's a whinging Dribble Aussie Thundercunt
Law 19.8, pertaining to "Overthrow or wilful act of fielder", says: "If the boundary results from an overthrow or from the wilful act of a fielder, the runs scored shall be any runs for penalties awarded to either side, and the allowance for the boundary, 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."Law 19.8, pertaining to "Overthrow or wilful act of fielder", says: "If the boundary results from an overthrow or from the wilful act of a fielder, the runs scored shall be any runs for penalties awarded to either side, and the allowance for the boundary, 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."
The version of the law that I'd read on newspaper site somewhere didn't mention the wilful act of the fielder. Hence I was assuming that the act was simply anything that took place after the throw. It's clearly not.
Any who gives a fuck. We won

Good decision. As can be seen the arguments over paragraph and sub sections is off and runningI thought it was appropriate to move it at that time because the final post came from the O/P and rounded it off nicely. I expected another thread in the cricket forum today.
Listening to the Sky Cricket podcast. How hammered is Graham Gooch?
Simon Taufel....can go fuck himself
Just been told on SMB that England should drop Root (or "stop persisting with him") based solely on his innings yesterday
No, if the batsmen hadn't crossed when the fielder threw it that run shouldn't count if the ball reaches the boundary. They throw the word "act" in the law because it doesn't need to be a throw, the fielder could deliberately allow the ball to hit the boundary in order to keep a weaker batsman on strike for example.That's surely the important bit and means that it was right to give 6?

It is... and they hadn't crossed at the time of the throw. Stokes had barely turned.
They'd crossed
Had they fuck man.
SuperbDurham lads watching the last ball.
Ditto England rugby team.
They did for the T20. No doubt this one will be shared aroundECB should be sending that trophy round the grounds, be great to see woods and stokes at the riverside with it
You're confused; the batsman have to have passed each other, or crossed, in the middle of the pitch at the time the fielder throws for the run to count. It looks as if you think they just have to start the run.Looks like it to me. It's certainly close. To suggest Stokes hadn't turned is daft. How slow do you think a throw is? Or how fast do you think Stokes is!?
So basically England have won the world cup in the least convincing, luckiest way possible. Losing 3 group games and almost going out; NZ ducking under the last ball of their innings; the fielder standing on the rope with the ball in his hand; a lucky 6 that should have been only 5 anyway; actually being bowled out but having a weird new tiebreaker; not even winning that outright either.
@AB22 Easy TigerSome great footage here:
Not to mention that the umpire gave one of ours not out when he was and one of theirs out when he wasn't!

Just listening to the TMS Podcast and Jeremy Coney is raging - claiming it was a draw etc
