Do you think this is permanent?

I enjoy watching the games on iPad

CG - I’ll feedback to the Board … I agree the club are really trying so hard to ensure the Mach day experience is first class.

Good news is finals day does not clash with football for a change.

Amazing finish - wanting 18 from last two overs, we scored 12 from the first of them and it looked a cakewalk. Not so.

Both batsmen in at the start of the over got it, and it reached the point of needing 3 off 2 balls. We scrambled 1 from the first of them but the umpire signalled wide for the second time in the over making that 2, leaving us 1 to get off the last ball. We got the one but the umpire signalled a no ball as well so won with a ball to spare.

We actually needed 3 off the last ball. Which we ran one to the keeper off but was then called wide which resulted in only needing 1 off the last ball. I don’t blame you for not being able to keep up, all sorts going on in that last over !!!! Incredible game of Cricket

That last ball went for 6 I think, but the no ball took us over the total needed, so poor Luke Wood misses out on an average booster!

What bugs me (mildly) is when someone hits a four to win and they only count 1 of the runs, if the batsmen have completed a single. How can they do that? That single shouldn't count. It's not a legitimate run, because if the ball goes for 4, the runs you have actually run are knocked off (unless the four is via overthrows).

I think that as soon as the total is hit, i.e.the single in your example, or the no ball in mine, then the game is won and the ball becomes immediately dead, therefore anything after this becomes inconsequential. Funny old game!

It's weird. Presumably if someone hits a six to win (without a no ball!) then the 6 counts, because the ball isn't dead until it lands.

It depends on the total needed. If they needed 1, and ran that before the 6 cleared the rope, then the 1 would count and not the 6 as the former would end the game.

If they needed 2 and only ran one before the boundary, then the boundary (and all 4 or 6 runs) would be awarded, and as you mentioned, the single chalked off.

That's surely wrong. It might be how it's done, but it's wrong. If you need 1 to win and hit the ball high in the air and run a single, that doesn't mean you have won because the ball is not dead. It could still be caught. The ball isn't dead until it hits the ground, so the six should count.

I think this was a case of someone trying to be too clever by half, finding a solution to something that wasn't a problem.

That must be unique to the Blast as Joe Root hit a four to win the test and was given the full amount.

Also I’ve watched 1000’s of league cricket games and I’m sure the batter gets full change.

Lancs well poised to complete a win at Leicester, if the rain disappears. 48-1 in the 6th chasing a modest 136, 6 bowlers among the wickets, with Hartley and Parkinson both posting impressive figures.
