SYDNEY: England were mistakenly awarded an extra run during their nailbiting World Cup win over New Zealand at Lord's, a member of the sport's chief rules committee told media Monday .
But former umpire Simon Taufel told Fox Sports Australia that umpires had made a"clear mistake", as the batsmen had not crossed for their second run. Taufel, a five-time winner of the International Cricket Council's Umpire of the Year award, now sits on the Marylebone Cricket Club laws sub-committee, the worldwide custodian of cricket's sometimes obscure rules of play.The Australian defended the match umpires, who he said had to make a complicated judgement, and said it would be"unfair" to say the decision altered the outcome of the tournament.
