Somerset went on to win the Gillette Cup and John Player League that season, while Worcestershire were eliminated from the Benson &amp; Hedges Cup in the quarter-finals by Surrey. The organising committee of the 1979 Cricket World Cup, which was held in England, met in early June and decided that declarations would not be allowed during the tournament to prevent a repeat of the incident. The laws of cricket were subsequently altered to ban declarations in one-day cricket. Arlott suggested that the strong action taken by the TCCB meant that it was unlikely that captains would seek to exploit any loopholes in the future. David Frith, writing for "Wisden Cricket Monthly", was similarly hopeful that the action taken would prevent any further instances of poor sportsmanship. Just under two years later, Trevor Chappell bowled the last delivery of a One Day International match underarm to prevent New Zealand from scoring the six runs they needed for victory. The delivery was within the laws of the game, but was widely condemned for being against the spirit of cricket.
