May I congratulate Kumar and Marais on their contribution to a wonderful day's cricket at Lord's yesterday. I was one of those who questioned the appointments to the World Cup Final, particularly Kumar, and I am happy to say that I was wrong. One or two decisions (I think it was) overturned in 600+ balls plus one non-reviewable error by Erasmus says a lot for their abilities and concentration over 8-9 hours, and their calmness when it came to the Super Over (+ their explanations beforehand to both sides) helped to keep a lid on a potentially explosive situation. Not forgetting the well-used Review Umpire and less-used Reserve, you all deserved your medals after the game. Well done and thank you!
Edit - sorry, this should perhaps have gone under non-footy board, must have been the excitement or sore head this morning. Happy for it to be transferred!
