***Official***Match #38- Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka - November 6th - Delhi (D/N)

I'm kinda amazed the umpire gave it out tbh. That's worse than the decision to appeal

Did he have any choice in the matter?

What can the umpire do? He just has to apply the laws. He can no doubt suggest to Shakib that he's being a **** and might want to withdraw the appeal, but otherwise, his hands are tied.

Couldn't Mathews have gone out without a helmet and someone bring him one on the field?

yeah lol he was facing Shakib not a pacer

Did he have a choice once Bangladesh appealed?

 

[Ashes81]

Wow - I've seen it all now.

Horrible decision from Bangladesh, although within the rules.

This is the old spirit of cricket debate and as know, whilst there should be such a thing, in reality there isn't.

Yeah he could have said ''not out'' and why are you even appealing you douche bags.

And destroy his reputation by not applying the Laws. I mean if you want to make umpires more of a target then go ahead with that.

Isn't it also a law to apply the safety rules though? Seriously how would that destroy his reputation.

#Punish Shakib

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I literally want to see the entire Sri Lankan team form a human chain at the boundary rope to prevent Shakib from taking guard.

 

[Chin Music]

Looks as though Sri Lana's batters have stepped things up since the decision. I think Bangladesh will deserve any gamesmanship that Sri Lanka attempt on them.

If he's picking and choosing when to apply laws that's not great. Don't get the safety concerns though, Shakib is not Mitchell Starc.

He could easily have made the decision that Mathews was there to face a ball within the time, and the delay for a change of helmet is a separate one. Since the intent of the law is all about getting batsmen out of the pavillion and there's a whole other part about timewasting or similar the umpire is free to decide that the timed out dismissal doesn't apply imo.

I mean you can disagree with that line of thinking if you like, but saying the umpires don't have choices at all when it comes to interpreting the laws is silly.

 

[Burgey]

I mean yeah it may be a schoolboy error and all but appealing is 10x more childish.

It’s not a schoolboy error if the strap on his helmet broke though.

Intimidating umpire must be a bannable offence. Which tournament was this?

 

[Burgey]

Yeah, that's probably it. However, given the regulations surrounding concussion protocols these days, to time a guy out because his helmet strap broke as he put it on doesn't sit well. It's just a complete ****show from Shakib to be honest, although not overly surprising.

He’s probably the worst human being to play international cricket since Runako Morton

 

[DriveClub]

This is spicy, i want to see sl bowlers attempt mankad once every over

 

[MW1304]

If he'd tried to get back reckon he might have been fine!
