It's the 1st Grade Final, 2011/12. City have made 243 on the Saturday and the Bective reply is at 9-242 as stumps approaches on the Sunday.
The second last over before stumps has been a tense one with Jones playing and missing several times. With the last delivery of the over, Jones takes a big swing, sends the ball high and wide to midwicket. The ball goes so high that the batsmen cross twice and are on their third run before City skipper Callcott takes the catch. The City boys immediate reaction to the catch is to celebrate, running round in circles and patting and hugging each other, ignoring everyone, including the umpires. Umpire Steve Lalor waits for several seconds and then calls "over"and moves to square leg.
After the call of "over", Jones and Everingham have punched gloves and raised their fists and run toward the gate at No.1, passing the celebrating City players and causing them to look back toward the umpires. Callcott calls to umpire Lalor, "howzat!".
Who fins the final, why and under what Law of cricket?

City has won, under Law 27.1 even though over has been called, an appeal can still be made if it is before the next ball is delivered or if it is before the umpire calls time. As Steve moved to square leg, time has not been called, the batsmen weren't out, but Cory appealed just in time. :)
Deb Batley
sneaky question lango...
I could have to say city won the game with no runs awarded to bective being all out for 242. While the bastman did run 2 runs jones was dismissed from his initial shot and runs scored while waiting for the catch to be taken do not count...
(Law 32 - took ages to find the cricket law lol)
YAY CITY!!!
Both conclusions are right but Deb gets the points because her answer is not only right but for the right reason. Under Law 27, a batsman can not be given out unless an appeal is made by the fielding team. In this case, there was initially lots of celebrating but no appeal. The calling of "over" means the ball is dead but an appeal may still be lodged before the bowler commences his run up for the next delivery - including over to over.
... and Cory, I wasn't getting angry. You play as often as you like. If get them all right, good on you!
I'm just glad we won the 1st grade premiership lol
