This along with the Aussie sandpaper-gate is probably one of the most infamous incidents in cricket history. I doubt anyone who follows cricket doesn't about it. Also the 2019 world cup finals! ;)
- AussieWog93 3mo agoI am an antisocial nerd and even I know about these incidents! Although to be fair, my wife is a saffa so I'm not allowed to forget sandpapergate.
- CamouflagedKiwi 3mo agoI wouldn't describe the 2019 final as infamous? Other than us all sitting around shouting "What on earth is a super over?" I don't remember it being very controversial. It was certainly a pretty exciting finish.
- as1mov 3mo agoiirc the real point of contention was the "boundary count" rule. The super over ended in a tie, then instead of having a another super over the winner was decided based on who had hit more boundaries. I'm pretty sure this did lead to the rule being removed[1] [1]: https://www.cricinfo.com/story/no-more-boundary-countback-as-icc-changes-super-over-regulations-1203757 https://www.cricinfo.com/story/no-more-boundary-countback-as...
