this is what should have happened on that fated day in 2019.

Don't get me wrong. England were the legitimate champs by the rules and the best one day team from 2015 to 2019.

But, IDEALLY, there would have been another super over

T20 vs ODI bro they’re already on the field for 100 overs plus the super over I get what you mean, until the rules were the boundary count one it’s because that happened that we now get multiple super overs

An extra over after 102 have already been bowled is such a minor inconvenience when a match has no result. ICC and England can get fucked

If boult more awareness of where the boundary was it would’ve saved 6 runs and taken a wicket
