Just shows how sports committees compose rules assuming they'll never, ever, ever come into use 
I agree, although I thought that umpires at that level would know all the rules, however obscure - obviously not.
It's a shame such a great match has ended in controversy, but I do think that England should consider themselves lucky to have won, under the circumstances. New Zealand, on the other hand, were desperately unlucky to lose, and must be feeling sick, as I'm sure England would have been were the situation reversed. The Australians can console themselves that they beat both England and the Kiwis comprehensively during the tournament, but fell at the last hurdle when England beat us just as comprehensively.
It will be interesting to see what the ICC has to say, if anything, regarding the on field howler by the umpires. However, nothing is going to change the result, and England are the World Cup Champions.
