Maybe technically the right decision, but if he had any sportsmanship about him the WI captain should've withdrawn the appeal. It was pretty obvious that he didn't do it deliberately and was trying to get out of the way

But I was quite disappointed, it was far from 'the Greatest' - Holding only hit him once..... (Good read but behind a paywall)

Nicholls595 Mar 2021 12:51pm, 11 Mar 2021 24,061 posts	0 Nicholls595 The greatest over I ever saw was in a Nottingham Evening League match. We were defending a total, and the opposition only needed one to win off the last (8 ball) over. One of their batsmen was well set, and hooked the first ball for 6. Unfortunately (for him) he trod on his stumps. We (apologies, I can't remember the bowler's name, it was 40 years ago) then took another 3 wickets for no runs. It was a 4 wicket maiden to earn us a tie. I took a catch for one of the wickets, the ball burst through my hands, bounced off my forehead and I caught the rebound. I played for Notts Ivanhoe. Can't remember the opposition, but it was played at their ground, West Park at West Bridgford.
