Default Re: Cricket

I'm not trying to detract from the result. however,

OVERTHROW OR WILFUL ACT OF FIELDER - LAW 19.8

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.'

My emphasis.

The batsmen in the case had not crossed when the ball was thrown, This is a pretty obscure law though, so the umpires can be forgiven.
