In all seriousness though , one rule the ICC should change asap is a ball striking batsmen running between the wickets , in the future the ball needs to be classed as dead

i've been scratching my head about this.
i swear about 5 years ago, a rule came out that if the ball deflects off a batsman from an overthrow you can't take any runs from it to encourage fielders to throw more. i've been googling this for a while and can't find anything anywhere but i distinctly remember this rule came out!

Its etiquette. Batsmen won't run if the ball deflects off them. However, if the deflection goes for four, there's nothing that can be done.

Its very clear he did it on purpose , you can't trust Rangas

Should of been given out for obstruction

Not sure if serious...

Even worse .......an Australian coached them

Every NSW person should be wearing a black armband and sending written apologies to the rest of Australia

Disgraceful

Kiwis did not have much luck and were stiff they are not holding the silverware now, but when your batsman ducks under the last ball of your 50 overs without at least having a swipe you have to wonder was it bad luck.

One thing you have to admire is the way they handled the defeat...real sportsman

They handle defeat like Wests Tigers supporters

Jimmy Neesham tweeted after the game telling kids not to play sport, bake instead. That way they can die fat and happy at 60. Idk, if that’s bad sportsmanship, but it’s funny as hell.

@GNR4LIFE

It does now appear the English were helped by the umpires

As the batsmen hadn't crossed when Big Bad Ben hit the ball away to the boundary illegally it should have only been a 5 .....not a 6 .......

So not only did England not win the cricket World Cup (they tied twice ) turns out they actually lost the World Cup and won

What's bad sportsmanship about a player making a wisecrack in reflecting on a disappointing loss?

SC was talking about their sportsmanship. I mentioned Neesham's tweet, saying idk if he'd consider that bad sportsmanship. I think Williamson has carried himself with a lot of class since the loss.
