It was immense! Nail biting right to the end.....especially when the final delivery was ruled as a "no ball" after the fireworks and celebrations had started!! Well done Hampy!!

An incredible ending, I thought Iā€™d seen it all in 2019 with the wold cup final and Stokes heroics in the ashes cup but this matched those for drama.Ā 
Ā 

Incredible of Ellis to compose himself and hold his nerve at the end after thinking theyā€™ve won it.

Listening to 5Live and there is a view that the umpires cocked up and Hampshire should not have won.

The view is bollocks.

Lancashire's claim is based on the theory that they would have run twice when the ball went straight to the wicketkeeper. I doubt whether this has ever happened in any game of cricket ... ever.

Bad losers. šŸ˜

There was also a claim that, in the penultimate over of Hampshire's innings, Lancashire only had 3 fielders inside the circle.

Oh dear.

The claim is that the field was changed after the no ball which it shouldn't have been. I don't believe this was checked as it would have been declared another no ball and they would have had one more to bowl.

Something about the fielders not being in the same position when the free ball was bowled, meaning another no-ball

Also, about the runs, apparently the fielders just started to celebrate, whilst the batsman completed 2 runs.....

That's rubbish - they spent about 5 minutes before the final ball was bowled attempting to get it right and the umpires were happy. Again, that just stinks of being bad losers; and the fact that the commentators and/or so-called experts were entertaining that view is just a sign of bias. I felt all the way through that there was significant bias towards Lancashire. They were praising Lancashire until the match started to turn and when it did they just criticised the Lancashire bowling or cited 'luck'.

They only completed the 2 runs after the umpires said that the ball was dead. That is normal when the batsman's stumps are broken by the fielding team.Ā 

There was a similar fielding issue when Lancashire were bowling. They should have had 4 fielders "inside the circle" on the last ball of the 19th over. They only had 3 allowing them to have an extra fielder in a run saving position.Ā 

As I said - bad losers.

Exactly.Ā 

Radio 5's coverage was amazing. They were constantly blowing smoke up Lancashire's arse seemingly unaware of Hampshire 's record of defending low scores in big matches Eg The quarter final at Trent Bridge last season.Ā 

The injured Lancashire bowler Mahmood was one of the summarisers without a Hampshire "counterbalance". Imagine the outcry on here if Saints were to play Liverpool in the cup final and the only summariser was the injured Jordan Henderson.Ā

To be fair, it wasn't just "pundits" also ex England players and even an ex England captain during the break in todays ODI.

Although it still stands that Lancashire are sore losers. To try and claim that is why they lost when they should have won by a massive margin is bollocks. They lost their bottle and the shiny trophy.

Wasn't there a 7 ball over towards the end of Surrey's run chase to beat Yorkshire last week, where they scored off the 7th ball. Why don't Hampshire get in the media complaining that the umpires got THAT wrong ?

Regardless of field placings, where it appears the umpires may have got 1 ball wrong in each innings, there is no way you can run 2 to the keeper, especially after the non-striker has gone 10 yards past the stumps running the first, and the keeper has run to the stumps with the ball as he did so. The second "run" would have been the easiest run out in history had they attempted it.

And letā€™s not ask about the caught behind that feathered the bat with a non flat line on ultra edge that wasnā€™t given.Ā

The Hampshire fielders were pointing up at the big screen and telling the batsman that he had hit the ball.

I know. Umpire gave it not out after the review - that happens in any other game and the batsman is out. Can you imagine that happening in an ashes test match? There would be uproar.

If you watch the Sky highlights, the very last ball goes through to the keeper who runs up and smashes the wicket. He then sees the Lancs batter turning to run back down the wicket, so the keeper runs the length of the wicket, smashes those stumps and gently lobs the ball to the umpire. End of game.

The only complaint Lancs could have is whether or not the Hants fielders were in the same fielding positions for the retaken No Ball but the umpires were happy at the time. And in any case Lancs should have been punished earlier for not having the correct amount of fielders in the circle during Hants innings.Ā 

Sore losers!

He appeared to be bending Vinceā€™s ear about it during the presentations too. He should take a leaf out of Vinceā€™s book and stay calm under pressure rather than sitting with his head in his hands or biting his nails like he did before he went in to bat.

Just to be clear, on the 'wrong' field being set for the no-ball on the last ball; there is no penalty if the field is incorrect, it is simply up to the umpires to check the field is the same before allowing the game to proceed. Therefore, it would NOT have been a second no-ball.

Sadly they (he) just came across as bad losers. Hampshire posted a low total which Lanky should have beaten reasonably easily. They didn't and paid the price.

Technically the TV umpire didn't give it 'not out' after the review.Ā  He decided there wasn't 'overwhelming' evidence to overturn the on-field umpires call of not out.Ā  He's got a point to be fair. [/MLG mode].

That's not how Nasser Hussain described it during the break in the ODI today....Ā  He stated that if the field wasn't exactly how it was for the first no ball, then it would have been called a second no ball.Ā  Seems like nit-picking though as the umpires gave the go ahead.

He also took the stump out of the ground at the non striker's end and touched the ball against it, just for good measure.Ā  Had they run, it would have been the easiest run out call in history.

The Playing Conditions for the T20 Blast only say that the field for a free hit should remain unchanged unless, (1) the no-ball was originally called for an illegal field or, (2) the batsmen somehow crossed and are oppositely handed. The wicket keeper is also permitted to change from "stood up" to "stood back". There is no mention of a sanction should such a change not be noticed, unless the change results in an illegal field placing, ie not enough fielders inside the circle.

Amazing isn't it? Typical of this forum. If Saints won the league there would be people questioning this and that instead of basking in the glory....

Did the on field umpire originally give it 'not out'? I'm pretty sure he did in which case the TV umpire didn't overturn the decision as there was no 'clear and obvious' error (how VAR should work but doesn't!!).

Nasser.hussain@skysports.co.uk is your best bet, I'm just repeating what he said this afternoon - I'm assuming that an ex England captain would know the rules but feel free to correct him :)

An ex England captain should respect the judgement and decisions of the match officials.

Players donā€™t often know the rules properly , thatā€™s why it is down to the Umpires ! Like football ! Nasser wasnā€™t our best captain either šŸ˜ƒ

And fuelling a nonsense argument purely for the potential for controversy.
