If Only
1The winner had not been decided on <check notes> number of boundaries scored
Trent Boult, probably New Zealand’s best fieldsman in the deep, had tossed the ball up earlier.
New Zealand had bowled first when it was hooping around corners
Guptill / Nicholls hadn’t gone for that hair brain review
Taylor hadn’t been sawn off.
Santner had at least attempted to play the last ball of the 50 over innings.
Roy had been given out first ball.
The ball hadn’t hit Stokes’s bat and gone to the boundary in an unprecedented way.
See above. It had been called a 5 and not a 6.
Lockie Fergusson had bowled the Super Over.
Stokes had stayed in Christchurch all those years ago.
On the positive side it had become tiresome complaining about the Underarm match.
