Keeper can't hit three stumps from 12 yards!

Keeper can't hit three stumps from 12 yards!

Three times in a row.

 

[Jarquis]

Backing 2 and then a single with a run out.
173/6 ftw.

They won't run the second run; if they get a single they win and they know it.

 

[Jarquis]

Yeah, I know. Would still be so ftw.
Would so lolworthy if it happened because of the confusion with the runner.

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha they need paint with one ball to go

 

[Prince EWS]

Even if Christian misses it they'll just run a bye to the keeper. He's probably better off leaving it unless it's right on the stumps - if he hits it to a fielder he might get out. Keiswetter has no chance of hitting the pegs.

 

[kingkallis]

This must be the longest over in terms of time!

 

[Neil Pickup]

The sensible approach would be for Christian to retire hurt and Corky to finish the job.

Odds on a wide? Stranger things have happened...

 

[Jarquis]

Bedwetter's come up? Winning runs are byes then.

Nuh, leg bye by the sounds of it. Hants win.

 

[Neil Pickup]

How the **** was that not LBW?

 

[Prince EWS]

Haha I want to see that again; I reckon it was plumb tbh

 

[Jarquis]

Shaving leg stump.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Epic. In a shambolic English cricket way.

UDRS wouldn't have overturned it, I don't think. Looked a lot more adjacent in real time.

Bloody South Africans choking that up, made it interesting at least. Well pleased for Hampshire's youth policy and Corky, who is an absolute legend.

 

[NasserFan207]

Wow, Christian looks like he's been in with Tyson. What happened?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Christian ended up running anyway even with Vince out to run for him - so Somerset could have run him out at any time and won it.

(a) did they realise? (I didn't, and my law knowledge is pretty sound)
(b) did they decide that wasn't the right way to win?

What would you have done?

 

[Jarquis]

From Tresco's quotes I don't think he realised. And he would've run him out if he had known.

Would've run him out. Don't think a technical rule application is a worse way to decide the final than losing fewer wickets.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I'd have failed the "You're The Umpire" there; I didn't know Christian was out of his ground.

Isn't he supposed to be Aboriginal, btw? Don't much look it, tbf.
