Conducting an international event once in 4 yrs & deciding the winner on boundary count.Takes special genius to conjure something so absurd.ICC renamed International council of Cartoons#ICCRules

Inspire?! 😅 What about Demotivation, Cheating, Boundary count considered but wickets & sixes don’t matter. Biased. Cheats! 😡

Why don't you give the victory by wicket fall rather than boundary count?#Superover#BlackCaps  @BLACKCAPS @cricketworldcup @ICC #CWC19 #CWC19Final #NZvsENG#BackTheBlackCaps

Are we saying that these Experts were not aware of the rules ? Right or Wrong but ICC did not frame them overnight ! When the rules were framed why weren’t it objected to ?
Team losing lesser wickets makes more sense than boundary count !

At other times, Tie games have ben decided by which team lost fewer wickets. As wickets and overs are the only two finite resources in the game, that's a better way of deciding a tie than the boundary count.

Another super with different set of players could be implemented, this can really test the strength of the team. Awarding a game with boundary count and that too a WC cannot be accepted.. #ICCRules #WCFINAL #ICCWorldCup2019 #ICC

Imagine if India were to be robbed of the WC because of an overthrow off a bat and a low boundary count. @ICC would be burning right now. They need to have a look at their bizzare #ICCRules immediately. Totally unjustified. This is not done. #ICCWC2019

That's not a winning moment. That is a tie.
Apart from Umpire's call rule which can declare the same ball as OUT as well as NOT OUT even with the help of technology, this boundary count rule is senseless too.
I would not be proud if my team won it on such a senseless rule.
