New Delhi: New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham on Tuesday mocked the ICC after the world body decided to scrap the controversial boundary count rule that saw his team lose the 50 over World Cup to England.
The ICC on Monday tweaked the super over rule for all its major events following the uproar over the outcome of the men’s World Cup final in July when England were declared winners against New Zealand on boundary count. The two teams had headed into the super over after scores in the final were tied. Once the super over also ended in a draw, England were crowned champions on account of a superior boundary count.
“Next on the agenda: Better binoculars for the ice spotters on the Titanic,” tweeted Neesham along with a link about the news of the change in the ICC rule regarding super over.
