While Taufel said it was an "error of judgment" by the umpires, he added that it was "unfair" to say the extra run had decided the outcome. Stead was also sympathetic with the umpires and said he had accepted his team's heart-breaking defeat at Lord's. "At the end of the day the umpires are there to rule and they're human as well and like players sometimes errors are made," he told New Zealand media. The extra run aside, former New Zealand coach Mike Hesson was unhappy that the Super Over was used as a tiebreaker, followed by total boundaries scored. Stead said he expected the ICC to review the way future finals were decided but added there was nothing New Zealand could do now.
