What the petition asks
Cricket witnessed a great sportsmanship in the final of Cricket World Cup 2019, held at Lord's.
But it is now clear that a grave umpiring error occurred when 6 overthrow runs were given instead of 5.
I urge England Men's Cricket Team to announce New Zealand as joint winners.

Simon Tuffle, 2004-2008 Umpire of the year winner have confirmed this error.
ECB wants to inspire the next generation. By announcing New Zealand as joint winners nothing will be taken away from England's achievements. Instead it will set an example which will be talked for centuries.
England Men's Cricket team have already entered history books but by correcting this error this game will forever earn it's tag of Gentlemen's game.
Let's give the greatest ever game - greatest ever ending.
