BTW that rule that says the ball is not dead when someone is bowled off a free hit is daft. 
Fair enough when they hit it to a fielder and get caught but the bowler should be rewarded for hitting the stumps in not letting the free ball get hit 

Exactly this. Was just about to post the same. By hitting the stumps the bowler has done all he can possibly do for a free hit delivery, the ball should be dead at that point.

I assumed it was even when the batsmen were running... it's just common sense.

Hopefully this incident will make them amend the rule.

I remember one ball from Joffra Archer bowling a guy then going for six over the keeper.

Imagine if that had been a ‘free hit’?
