Angelo Mathews's spectacular six-saving move against the West Indies in a World Twenty20 match has been deemed legal by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), the guardian of cricket's laws, who said it was "good for cricket". Mathews was on the wide long-on boundary Trent Bridge on Wednesday when Ramnaresh Sarwan lofted a Ajantha Mendis delivery towards him. He caught the ball inside the ropes before, realising his momentum would take him over the boundary, he flung the ball in the air. Mathews's foot then went over the boundary and, seeing the ball was about to land over the rope and so go for a six, jumped up and hit it into play. After watching several replays, third umpire Ian Gould informed on-field officials Billy Bowden and Simon Taufel that three runs only had been scored.
