That was actually the wrong decision. When you're one short but run two you still actually get one run; Nasir ran a full two. So it's lucky he hit the four or the **** would've really hit the fan.

LAW 18.3 - Short runs

(a) A run is short if a batsman fails to make good his ground in turning for a further run.
(b) Although a short run shortens the succeeding one, the latter if completed shall not be regarded as short. A striker setting off for his first run from in front of his popping crease may do so also without penalty.


They ran back for two, so it should've counted for one. Terrible umpiring.

Nasiir had hit the ball with 1 to win, it want past the infield, and he and Sunny went off celebrating.

But then someone fetched the ball and said it didn't go for a four, and Sunny and Nasir didn't cross properly, and so the run didn't count. Sammy, Gayle and a few others argued with the umps, so saw a replay, and decided that indeed no run was scored, and so the next ball had to be boweld

BD needed 1 run to win in 39 balls when the shot was hit, with 2 wickets in hand. It was easily a single, even two, Gazi almost reached the crease before he just turned around and went and joined the celebration.

Everyone was running around celebrating and then Sammy and co, went and ruined the mood to argue that the run shouldn't count and got them to not count the run and make them bowl one more ball.

It was pointless and needless and in bad spirit. No point whatsoever to do it. They spent more time arguing for the run to not be counted than it took the ball right after that to be bowled, which promptly got hit for 4, and made no difference.

Just being an annoying buzzkill. Bad taste. Dick move.

Sorry dude but if they didn't score the run as a captain you are within your rights to fight to the end. They only needed two wickets so they could have come back. From the sounds of things you should blame the umpires if anything.

Academic now though
