Mohammad Rizwan followed in the footsteps of Alex Carey when Pakistan took on South Africa in the Cricket World Cup, with a throw at the stumps after the batter had left the crease, but unlike for the wicket of Jonny Bairstow, he did not appeal slots

The Bairstow dismissal on the fifth day of the second Ashes Test match at Lord’s become one of the talking points of the summer, both Australian and British Prime Ministers added their opinions on the matter as debate raged concerning the ‘spirit of cricket’ slots

There were other more questionable actions that day from the MCC members towards the Australians, and the Ashes was set alight slots

England did not lose another Test and it sparked a flurry of sixes from Ben Stokes that briefly threatened the state of the game at the Home of Cricket slots

A few months later, Rizwan did the same as Carey had slots

The ball from Haris Rauf flew over the off stump, Aiden Markram had a wild swish to the leg side slots

The batter – just as Bairstow had done – tapped his foot in his crease before leaving it, and Rizwan lobbed the ball into the stumps slots

Rizwan was left grinning and holding his arms out but decided not to appeal slots

Carlos Brathwaite on Test Match Special, said: “The difference for me slots between that and the Bairstow one, is the length of time that Rizwan had the ball in his hands for slots

He had the ball in his gloves for a few seconds, put his head down, and then threw the ball slots

“Alex Carey threw the ball instantaneously slots

It is close enough to draw parallels but as we say, he wasn’t going for a run out in the end slots

Rizwan was smiling with Markram afterwards slots

What a difference a week makes slots

Last weekend, the Stade de France was treated to the two greatest Rugby World Cup quarter-finals of all time, perhaps the best pair of sporting events ever witnessed at a single stadium in the space of 24 hours slots

Five days on, New Zealand comfortably dispatched an out-gunned and overmatched Argentina side 44-6 to begin semi-final weekend with a contest that not only won’t go down in the folklore of the French national stadium, but may well be forgotten by the majority of spectators here before they get home slots

Not every match can be a classic and, make no mistake, the All Blacks won’t mind one bit that their passage to a record fifth men’s Rugby World Cup final was so serene slots

They were simply superb and came perilously close to breaking their own record margin of victory in a World Cup semi-final (a 49-6 hammering of Wales in 1987) but had to settle for just the 38-point triumph in a seven-try demolition slots

Their ruthlessly efficient performance suggests the crisis of the summer of 2022 is well and truly behind them slots

A mouth-watering battle with South Africa to become the first four-time winners of this competition next Saturday seems almost inevitable slots

But from the adrenaline-fuelled highs delivered by last weekend’s iconic double-header, this was the ultimate comedown slots

From a flat atmosphere more reminiscent of a warm-up match than a World Cup semi-final, to a one-sided encounter that demonstrated the gulf in class slots between the teams, the feeling that this was an event very much “after the Lord Mayor’s show” was unavoidable throughout slots

Which is to take nothing away from New Zealand – you can only beat who’s in front of you slots

Perhaps it was an inevitable consequence of World Rugby’s ludicrous decision to decide the World Cup groups three years ahead of the tournament, which led to an almost hilariously lopsided draw slots

The four best teams in the world did battle with each other, in Paris while four more flawed but relatively even teams also competed on a quarter-final weekend for the ages slots

When the elite two then face the weaker pair with a place in the final at stake, this damp squib of a semi-final is an unfortunate inevitability slots

The intensity of the Argentina celebrations and laps of honour after they beat Wales in the last eight suggested they had come as far as they believed they could and New Zealand ruthlessly confirmed that slots

New Zealand ran in try after try against Argentina (Getty Images)For the underdogs to stand any chance of causing the upset, they needed a fast start slots

It took until the 39th minute of the quarter-final for the Pumas to finally get on the scoreboard, by which time Wales should have been out of sight – the fact that Warren Gatland’s men were only 10 points to the good at that stage eventually came back to haunt them but there was faint hope New Zealand would be similarly wasteful slots

A week later, Argentina struck first as a sustained spell of possession in the All Blacks 22 from the opening kick-off led to three points from the boot of Emiliano Boffelli but any hope that would lead to the start of something special was soon extinguished slots

The Pumas had plenty of ball in New Zealand territory as they went through the phases, yet the Black wall stiffened once they entered the 22 where their breakdown work, led by the formidably impressive back row of Shannon Frizell, Sam Cane and Ardie Savea, became more aggressive slots

Jackalled turnovers were the norm and whereas Argentina were profligate, the All Blacks turned ball into points, usually off the back of their dominant maul slots

An early turnover in their own 22 led to a march down the field where a couple of phases in the tight after a 5m lineout created space wide on the right slots

Richie Mo’unga’s long pass to Will Jordan exploited this as the winger dived over for what would be the first of a treble on the day slots

Mark Tele’a had been dropped for the quarter-final win over Ireland due to breaching team protocol but, restored to the team in place of Leicester Fainga’anuku after a week in the wilderness, showed his class to have a huge hand in the second and third tries of the first half slots

His opportunistic turnover on his own 22 after 13 phases of Pumas attack started a spell of gorgeous All Blacks running rugby as they sliced and offloaded their way up the pitch off for Jordie Barrett skittle through tackles for the try in the corner slots

Tele’a then showed off his power just before half-time as he barrelled and spun through three defenders to take New Zealand within inches of the line, where Frizzell could jog over in the corner on the following phase slots

Jordie Barrett crashed over for the All Blacks’s second of seven tries (Getty Images)Given that no team had ever overcome a half-time deficit greater than seven points to win a World Cup semi-final, the 20-6 lead at the interval suggested it was game over slots

All doubt was removed just two minutes after the break when an All Blacks scrum on the 22 splintered the Pumas pack and the ageless Aaron Smith cut inside one defender, dummied past another and slid slots between two more for a sumptuous try slots

From there, it was just the formality of completing the final 38 minutes to confirm a 34th New Zealand win in 37 editions of this fixture slots

They refused to take their foot off the gas as Frizell burrowed over the line for try number five and Jordan ran in two more to make it a remarkable 31 tries in 30 Tests for him and a tournament record-equalling eight at this World Cup as the toothless Pumas were further declawed slots

His hat-trick score on 74 minutes was a thing of beauty as, starting in his own 22, he weaved slots between three defenders, then chipped over another on halfway before collecting his own kick to race in for the score slots

Message well and truly sent slots

The All Blacks have become World Cup specialists over the past 15 years and yet more history is now within their grasp slots

This semi-final may not live long in the memory but lifting the Webb Ellis Trophy for the fourth time certainly would slots

That reality is now deservedly just 80 minutes away slots
