match like this ever been won by an all run four?
How to describe that? Jospeh clubbed it to long off, they ran two,
Joseph wanted three
Bagai stayed put, and both bats at wrong end
panic throw over the keeper's head, Bagai scrambles home
only to find Jospeh beside him again
he sprinted to the non-striker's end to beat the throw, raising his
arms aloft in triumph
What a strange and wonderful finish
Amazing stuff, but to be fair some poor cricket, but in the
circumstances forgivable
