I actually wasn’t ware of the rule, but reading it, it’s hard to see how technically it could be six. I don’t know if it’s just sloppily written or what, but on any fair reading it says it should’ve been five not six.
Of course precedent is an entirely different matter.
Yup. It's always includes the run being taken because the throws that deflect for four are generally from the in field so it's a given the batsmen have crossed before the throw is made. I can't remember an outfield throw ever deflecting for 4 so it's more a case of a very rarely seen scenario catching people out.
I don't understand with all that time why they didn't go upstairs. It would have been 5 runs and Rashid on strike - whole game changes.
