I'm not a 100% convinced that six runs shouldn't have been awarded. It depends on what the 'act' was. If the act was throwing the ball to the stumps and it hit the bat then maybe the act is hitting the bat (when they had crossed). If it hadn't hit the bat and went for four then they should have awarded five runs. It's not quite so clear to me.

hitting the bat is not the act.
act is used as sometimes fielders kick the ball, or put out a hand to catch the ball , deflecting it on to the stumps, at which point it may ricochet to boundary..but its act of fielder not batsman |

if stokes does it as an act hes likely out, obstructing field !

It's difficult to determine Fact from Act, or is it................

By:
I didn't say Stokes hit it with the bat. The ball hit the bat and was questioning if that was the 'act'. The bowler deflecting the ball onto the stumps is not an overthrow and the batsmen wouldn't have crossed in that case if that's what you meant.

By:
I wouldn't be getting cross if we cant establish the act from the fact, i mean surely the act is a fact, or is it not...
|

By:
no, its just a term, act, i was giving examples why its in rules ....and that not just a throw can cause overthrows
|
|
By:
And I was questioning whether hitting the bat was the act.

Moral of this story...
Only bet on the tournament winners market |
|
By:
Or at least understand the rules of the market you are betting in and act accordingly.

Cashed out early in the match .
So now looking at my account feel totally ripped off by Betfair , draw wasn't a given option . what's the point in cashing out when the playing field is changed after you cash out . |
|
By:
the tie was offered, draw is not same as tie in cricket.
main market operates as void when scores are tied, other market gives option of backing or laying all three outcomes. draw, or incomplete match, also has its own market |

So now looking at my account feel totally ripped off by Betfair , draw wasn't a given option . what's the point in cashing out when the playing field is changed after you cash out . I cashed out early too at a loss and got all my money back when it was voided! Happy days! There were options for a Thai, I got 41's! and also someone said the outright winner market instead of the match market. This is cricket although not proper cricket  hopefully you have learned something from the experience |

in the super over, archers first ball seemed to go over the wide marker, but
not outside of it, but was called a wide....i thought the rule was that the wide marker was not a wide. Not sure but I thought the line was a guide not a given. The faster the bowler the more chance of being wided. If it was a spinner probably not a wide. |
|
By:
the wide marker is only an approxximate guide for the umpire. He can call a wide even when its inside the line, as long as he thinks the batter didn't have a fair chance of hitting the ball.

yep batsman took normal stance, so lucky, imo, to get a wide just one of them things in cricket... |
