Absolutely. Those two sixes at the end of our regular innings. Both so weird in themselves. Then all that drama on top. Mental.

If you wrote a cricket movie with that ending in your script, people would laugh at how ridiculous it is.
But if you made a movie the losing team would have to be hated for some reason...and this was New Zealand for heaven's sake. :)
 
Not doubting you Fran , but where have you heard this ?
Sky found the arcane rule covering such an incident...says that the 4 should have been added on to the score for completed runs or runs where the batsmen had crossed when the ball was thrown. Without looking at video evidence would have been impossible for the umpires to decide this at real time.

I thought they finished two weeks ago. So it could have been a summer school or the monks just celebrating Bastille Day. They are Benedictine ? and weren´t their origins French?
Quite a few of the kids stay on for at least part of the summer as their parents don’t want them.

Only a couple of monks left, you can’t get the monks these days. In any case, the Abbey and the school have recently split into separate businesses, under new regulations or something. The school is desperately short of funds and the buildings are falling down.
