Editorials News | Jul-20-2019
The International Cricket Council (ICC) finally spoke about the overthrow controversy that took place during the recently concluded World Cup final between England and New Zealand at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground in London on Sunday. The international cricket agency said that it is not part of its policy to comment on decisions made by referees in the field.
"The arbitrators make decisions in the field with their interpretation of the rules and we do not comment on any decision as a matter of policy," said Foxsports.com.au, an ICC spokesman.
During the final in England's pursuit of 241 on Sunday at Lord's house, Stokes accidentally hit the ball coming from the deep midwicket outfielder and deflected it to the third man's limit, while attempting to dive in search of his fold with an extended bat in an attempt to complete his second career.
After consulting with Marais Erasmus and the rest of his fellow referees, Kumar Dharmasena pointed out six runs for the incident, which means that England, which by then seemed to be abandoning the race and needed nine runs of three balls, came back suddenly. The search for his glory in the World Cup needing three more than two.
In the midst of the furor over the referees, it was asked to give an extra run when a hit the bat of Ben Stokes in the final of the World Cup, now it has come to light that the SUV had asked the referees to take the four overthrows that finally proved decisive in England's victory over New Zealand.
James Anderson, a teammate of the Stokes test team, revealed that the all-rounder, who apologized greatly at the time of the incident, had asked the referees to annul their decision.
"The label in cricket is if the ball is thrown to the stumps and it hits you and enters a hole in the field that you do not run," Anderson Anderson Herald told Anderson when he told the BBC's Tailenders podcast.
"But if it goes to the limit, the rules are four and nothing can be done about it.
"I think, talking to Michael Vaughan who saw him after the game, Ben Stokes actually went to the referees and said, 'Can you get those four leaks? We do not want it.'
"But it's in the rules and that's the way it is," I added.
