[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 949458, member: 71826"] I don’t think shared honours is right in a knockout tournament, the point of the format is to eliminate competitors at every stage until you are left with one winner, so I do think you have to find ways to separate them somehow. I agree with the statistical measures being Horlicks ... I just think wickets is better than boundaries because wickets are directly relevant to the score while boundaries are just HOW you score. Basically, the best way to do it is a continuation of the game as it exists in normal time, like extra time in football/rugby/etc. Infinite super overs would probably be the closest to that cricket can offer. I quite liked [USER=73648]@themole25[/USER]’s suggestion of continuing only with the not out batsmen, although that does raise the question of what to do if a team is all out. Do they forfeit? Or do we do last man standing? That would be a truly mental way to decide a World Cup final, Ben Stokes facing up and only able to score in boundaries or 2s... [/QUOTE]
