The Right Process, The Right Law, The WRONG DECISON | The Overthrow Rule - 2019 World Cup Finals 

A classic example of a RULE becoming more significant than the PURPOSE of it! Amazing video as always!

Man....the way he puts his words, the pauses he takes in between, the disappointment in his voice. Awesome storytelling 👍👍

If all this wasn't bad enough, then the salt on the wound was ICC not allowing a second super over.

When Williamson smiled at the end, New Zealand won my heart! & I still believe New Zealand are not "official" but the " *REAL* " Champions...

The irony is, no media in the world has elaborated the situation like you did.. Hope that the idiotic decisions would never repeat again in international cricket

"Can't give the life saving drug because hospital works 9 to 5" - epic! 😂

Spirit of cricket never comes into question when the English benifit!!

Just imagine if india was the loosing side in the finals with all this drama. People could have died. There could have been riots.

I really feel bad for Kiwis, literally had tears in my eyes.. Hope ICC learnt from this mistake to avoid future wrong..

Still New Zealand deserve respect. Every time Australia, India and England are considered heavyweight. But new Zealand every time make into semis and final. Edit-thanks for likes

Gotta feel for Guptil, even he wouldn't have expected his throw to concede such a huge controversy...During the time of redemption he could not win it for NZ with that shitty boundary count.

I just had 1 question regarding this situation: "HOW THE HELL DID KANE WILLIAMSON KEPT SMILING DESPITE AN ENORMOUS PRESSURE IN THAT SITUATION WHILE THE ENTIRE WORLD WAS GOING NUTS?"

I saw thumbnail and thought it would be the video about how the winner got decided by boundary count. But video is totally different and many of us didn't know about this. You're awesome man. 👍🏻

And Kumar Dharmasena got a medal at the presentation ceremony. ICC is like: Players making mistakes: fine them and ban them for a couple of games. Umpires making mistakes (because ICC knows their laws and rules are flawed) : Defend them

I remember seeing that live and I was shocked that stokes will still on strike because it should have been Rashid. Edit: I really hated the rule that which team that hit the most boundaries would win if the super over was tied. New Zealand took all 10 wickets whilst England only took 7 so the kiwis should have won.

This was why I did not feel bad on New Zealand winning the WTC final, even though I am an Indian. New Zealand totally deserve this. Just imagine the agony of New Zealand if the WTC final was drawn and India and NZ are declared joint champions, even though there was an option of a timeless test match. Fantastic video man. Your way of speaking is beautiful and makes us understand the emotion of it. Keep it up👌🏼👍🏼

I was finally searching why did NZ lost. Osm editing m8! Let's get this guy to 50K subs!

Just saw NZ winning the semi-final vs ENG and seeing this in my recommendations ❤️😂

I just cried watching Guptill reaction in the last. I just wanted New Zealand’s win. But unfortunately

He dubs video with such a ****pleasure and dedication**** definitely this video going to be a big one🙂

Put Kohli in place of Williamson and imagine 😂

You did not state the entire law so I was confused for a while. The rule is: "If the boundary results from an overthrow or from the wilful act of a fielder, the runs scored shall be any runs for penalties awarded to either side and the allowance for the boundary the runs completed by the batsmen, together with the run in progress if they had already crossed at the instant of the throw or act,”

For us, New Zealand is the Champion of the 2019 World Cup.

The beauty of this game was, that the country which was beaten by NZ just a few days ago in the semifinals was cheering for NZ. I was heartbroken. Rules are meant to facilitate the game not throw the game into controversy. Best result would have been sharing the trophy by Eng and NZ. Eng played good cricket throughout the tournament as well. There could have been one more super over. Another 20 odd minutes to decide the winner rather than depending on an another outrageous rule - the boundary law. NZ rotated the strike better hence they had lesser boundaries than Eng who had more power hitters who used their brute force to hit more boundaries. How can one be considered better than the other. Infact farming the strike and rotating is a much more difficult task many times. This brought back memories of 1992 semifinals as well where cricket has died yet again because of atrocious rain rules. Your way of explanation brought back the vivid memories of sadness.

It is not as ridiculous as England vs South Africa in 1992

Two most heart breaking Cricket matches i have witnessed - 1999 world cup semi final SA vs Aus my then-favorite team SA lost entry to final even after a tied match.. 20 years later my Favorite Kiwi team lost world cup due to a wrong assumption. Heart went out to those 11 Gentlemen and Millions of Fan back home in New Zealand.

Great Story Telling. Newzealand almost pulled it off despite of all the odds. England played well and were more lucky on the day. Thats how it goes.

Here after England's misery in the ongoing 2023 WC...... So happy seeing them be humiliated and humbled.😘

And that boundary count rule was totally disastrous...

Kane Williamson the most humble cricketer ever 🖤 Black Cap deserved that trophy.

This is a very under rated cricket documentary channel. Request the owner to kindly upload more mini docu series. Perfect explanation and presentation 🔥🔥🔥

Basically no one can blame Dharmasena, as the gap in the law and process ultimately didnt allow him to do the necessary verification in order to alter his decision..!

This is a perfect cricket channel I just subscribed it. This idiotic moment costed New Zealand their maiden World Cup 😭😭😭 I wonder did ICC gifted the CWC 19 to England

I don't know how to feel when I saw guptil crying after his throw in finals as I have seen him celebrating couple of days before after his throw Runout dhoni '.

Hey, can you cover about what happened during the 2003 world cup, ie the protest of Zimbabwean cricketers and how that led to the downfall of one of Africa best team. Thank you!

As a New Zealander obviously it was very painful to lose the game, and even more so to find out later that the decision had been technically incorrect. It was an odd situation, to be sure, and I don't think I have it in me to blame the umpires or anyone involved really, things just didn't go our way. Still, despite that underlying disappointment, I have to say that it was probably the greatest game of cricket I've ever witnessed, in terms of quality of play from both teams! Absolutely loved every moment watching the game, and honestly by the end I almost just wanted to declare it a draw because both teams played a simply divine game of cricket.

Sometimes it is unfair for the fielding side to be penalised for accuracy. There were so many instances where the the ball went to the boundary after hitting stump. I think, we should allow the ball to be called dead ball, if it hit the stumps directly. This is already a batsman's game most of the time.

The umpires simply made an ASS of U and ME. This is what always happens when ASSUME.

After 1992 S.A needed 22 on 1 ball. This was the 2nd most strange thing ever happen in cricket.

I love the exasperation in your voice throughout the video. At least this T20 World Cup New Zealand didn't lose on an absurd bit of umpiring also hope they manage to win the 2022 and 2023 World Cups

This match gave me goosebumps. I was so upset with the result. But still, it's one of my favourite matches. And my number 1 ODI match.

I love ur narrating style.. so captivating!! Never stop telling stories.. can listen to u forever!!

I don't have words to say anything on this. I can simply feel bad for NZ. They lost because of wrong decision which was given by umpire. I feel happy for NZ for winning WTC 2021 but still that Pain will never be cured.

The most miserable rule was deciding the winner by number of boundaries... ridiculous

* * * * * star for your voice which is addicted 😇

My cricketing knowledge is getting enhance watching your videos. I am loving it!

In my opinion, no one can predict anything if the decision was 5 runs..... What if Ben stokes had tried to hit the ball for a six knowing they needed 3 runs if the last ball instead of 2? Bad deciesion? Of course! But no one can predict what would have happened AFTER.... In all, let us all enjoy the game of cricket :)

After that incident I have started to feel that the Host country will always have a very good chance of winning a tournament!!!!!

If it were India on the receiving end of that decision BCCI would have banned the ICC from cricket😂!

And man of the Match and tournament award goes to Umpire the living legend Sir Steve Dharmasena Bucknor 😑

The thing is imagine if an south asian country would have won the final like that!! The same englishman hypocrats would have barked about spirit of game and sportsmanship for years!!! And even the same english crowd would have booed that team for years!!! They would have literally started defaming and dishonouring that whole nation and its people!!!

I agree. But even if only 5 runs were given, still the match could have gone either way. Then for last ball 3 runs required. Boult bowls a full toss. Ben stokes tried to run 2 because only 2 runs required. But if 3 runs were required, Ben will go for a big shot. Imagine 4,6 or catch? Anything could have happed

Even though NZ played there heart out to tame that ferocious England side on that day on final but we see the broad picture It all started for England with same opponent in 2015. They didn't have margin to show how they win it but they thoroughly deserve that world Cup. After changing ODI cricket style for good they earned the rightful tag of world champions. Yes Sharing the WC could have been more memorable but saying England doesn't deserve is too harsh. And for Kumar Dharmsena he'll be more happy like Steve Buckner after doing all the wrong.

There was a short over called in Ind vs SL game in CB series 2012 while india were chasing and the game tied in the end. Imagine it being a final of any sort of tournament! The voluntary involvement of third umpire in no ball calls should be the stepping stone of eradicating more man made mistakes in this game especially in the historic moments like these!

Have you made a video on Kapil Dev's 175 against Zimbabwe in 1983 WC? I don't think so. It's the greatest cricket innings by far and would make for a great story

You are just fantastic Bro.... You are the best narrator and friend we need for telling cricketing stories...😍😍

That was ben strokes day ... All thing were in his favour that day .

It's like a horror story... Still saw this match highlights for more than 5 times...

Kiwi's are the true 2019 world cup champians!

Brother, you should be on a tv channel, the way you narrate stories is brilliant. You automatically generate great curiosity in the minds of the listeners. Way to go man.

When luck runs your way ,it was the most awesome world cup final I have ever seen in my life!!the best ever world cup final in the entire history of cricket!!

What a gem of a channel! So underrated channel..wish your channel would blow up.. and the best story teller..ever☺️keep up the good work..

Sad for New Zealand. I was playing for them the whole match coz they made second time into the finals back to back

Man of the match comedian Dharmosena

Bro it would be great if you do a video on different types of pitches, and weather conditions that could affect the outcome of the game,i am looking forward to it,please bro,please consider my request

Kohli and Williamson, two of the most unlucky captains.😥😥

In that same game, we came through another stupid rule of boundaries!!!! How come the winner of a CWC be based on such rules?

Great video.... as a kiwi and dedicated cricket follower since about 1980, this incident makes me sad and very angry. much worse than even the underarm incident. I have never watched the end of the game and probably never will. Also even worse was the game being decided on the number of boundaries hit. Even more stupid. Does it matter, how the runs are scored?

New Zealand has always been my favourite team

If aus, ind were in the final..it would have been another brawl between 2 cricket boards like how it happened in 2007 between ind and aus.. during the infamous monkeygate incident

Now I feel that... It's okay for nz to win wtc not by draw...

Why doesn't it falls under "obstruction of field" category since it hit Ben Stokes' bat?

Your words just feels like a personal loss even if my team isn't playing the final🥺🥺❤️ man you are a gem in story telling

I'm here due to the Bairstow dismissal in the 2023 ashes 2nd test. Oh the irony of it all. Where was Ben Stokes desire for the spirit of the game on this fateful day?

Guys Rashid can bat, let's hope in an opposite universe the correct decisions were made and Rashid hit the penultimate ball for four and England win.

Over last 3-4 years has led me to see the game of international cricket as anything but a sports but a spectacle of errors, luck, conditions, pitch, rain, umpires... That's never a fair game...

I get a Cric-gasm everytime I listen to his voice 😂😂

This is a world cup final and i cant believe kane Williamson didn't call his team out of the ground, like Rishab pant. Truly a great sportsmenship shown by kane Williamson and the kiwis. But they never lose hope and won the WTC Final. Kane just to brilliant 👌.

Really appreciated brother. Such a great explanation.

I don't think Umpires are required . Just put some camera and make 3rd umpire the only entity throughout the match . There is literally no need for Umpire on field . (for checking no balls you can have camera , for checking leg bye Big screen , for 6 or 4 there is no need to give signs , just display that's a six or 4 . I really don't know why umpires are used still today .

NZ are true champions. When another opportunity presented itself in the form of World Test Championship, they emerged as first ever World Test champions beating India with a far greater margin.

This is why cricket is played only in 12 countries..

That decision was the single most idiotic thing that I saw. I do think both Eng and NZ deserved to win but everything was biased against Kiwis. It almost felt like a gift to Eng.

Excellent video... Really Heart wrenching on the deserving winners NZ

Don't blame Dharmasena or the umpires for it, it was a very panic and unexpected decision under incredible pressure... And we can't live on assumptions about what would have happened if it was given 5 runs or anything!

you have a great way of putting forth your views .....Great Channel.....first class content

I always wait to watch ur videos Such a great content 💗

1) Third umpire should have the right to overrule any of the onfield umpire's wrong decisions at any point 2) In future all umpires must be done away with except the TV umpire who'll give all the decision with zero error and boundaries should be present with bodyguards who'll rush to the field to stop any physical altercation between players

2019 WC Cup NZ On Ground ✍️ Shame on ICC & Umpiring 👎 What a Fight By Blackcaps 🔥🖤

guptil the ultimate legend, deserves so much more 😪

They were lucky making the finals in the WC and the WTC. Probably WTC was vengeance for that grueling heartbreak/decision. Now that NZ leveled out their pain, India should demolish them in the upcoming ICC events because it's frustrating always coming second to them.

I don't understand why still on field umpires exist in International format instead technology can be made faster so that we can have accurate decisions are Third umpire only Enough to make Decision

He is really an amazing storyteller!!

If there is a storytelling competition on high level this man will definitely win it🔥 Awesome brother

I think Williamson wasn't assertive enough to challenge it there and then. He shouldn't have let the game continue before being satisfied. Ranatunga, Kohli or Ponting would have never accepted it

Great work man, well explained. Keep up the great work.

In the same tournament, Indian lost the semi final against New Zealand. There was another blunder there . Guptill’s direct throw ran Dhoni out, but he was the 4th fielder inside the circle while only 3 are allowed. That run out sealed the game for NZ. In a way the final was payback for them

One more bad decision was to check the no. Of Sixes rather than just seeing the wickets😞

I still remember Goosebumps were all over me Tbh i am big Australia fan and i was teasing my friends that no matter Australia is out of world cup new Zealand will bring the cup to Australia 🤣🤣 they are still in same continent Being an Australian fan it is my duty to hate England 🤣 New Zealand after 2015 world cup final had my respect Williamson is my favourite new era captain Looking at the condition of the match i was more than sure that New Zealand is winning i had great pity over England for not winning world cup even in their backyards But then 6 runs without even hitting the balls outside of the boundary irked me I was like what is happening over here There were no any six runs and even by the rule it was 5 which means stokes in the non striking end but that too didn't happen And somehow New Zealand managed to make it a draw and that mockery of super overs It was like street cricket though the team with more 4s winning 🤣🤣 But it is what it is History will still read England as world champions but we gotta know cricket is a complicated sport and sometimes it gets even more complicated Nine out of ten times guptil would never hit that bat of stokes but that night 1 out of 10 times happened he did hit it New Zealand are my new favourites i love that team But sometimes laws and logics don't go in a parallel path Just a dark stain for cricket

And the man of the match is Kumar Dharmsena
