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

[MW1304]

After all the nonsense, that's a high-class innings.

 

[Gnske]

Known good guy Shakib showing his true dark colours

 

[Victor Ian]

Mathews has not managed to get Hit Wicket, Handled Ball or Obstructed Field in any form of the game yet. Hopefully this inspires him. Has there ever been a player to get the set?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

What Shakib did was the cricket equivalent of gerrymandering

It’s all good bro and legal

It's the ganja of dismissals, frowned upon by uptight nerds.

 

[mr_mister]

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.

Are you a bot

 

[Gob]

ShakiBull lol

Absolute disgrace

 

[Shri]

this has made me want to watch the game

 

[Shri]

apparently angelo was late to the infield and it was already 4-5 minutes since the wicket fell

Are you a bot

Are you?

The Mathews time out controversy was manufactured by the cricket commercial complex, to allow for more lengthy television commercial breaks. As Bangladesh will be vilified in this scenario, we will start seeing longer and longer ads during wicket intervals, to get cricket in line with more commercialized American sports.

/tinfoil hat

In England the pros have to wear a helmet for all bowlers

That's great for them, they probably ensure any problems aren't being found out at the crease.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

When this law/rule was being drafted, there were no such thing as Helmets for batters.
What instrument was used to record time?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Sundials

Handled the ball & Obstructing the Field are the same dismissal now, so he's only two short of the set. You'd also need to check warm up games and the like to find if he's retired out at some point too.

From CI:

Mathews was yet to put on the new helmet, and Karunaratne was still standing near the pitch when Mathews was informed by Erasmus that he had been timed out. At this stage, at least three minutes and twenty seconds had elapsed since Samarawickrama's dismissal.

 

[Aidan11]

Wonder if the SL team take the field with stop watches.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bishop is doing the best investigative journalism

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

There's the Mankad...and then there's the SHAKIB.

Leaving an indelible mark on our great game.

I think the fact that this is the 1st time a player has been timed out in international cricket says it all.

Mathews can't have been the 1st cricketer to maybe be a bit tardy to the crease or have an equipment issue, but no team previously has ever decided to appeal for a dismissal under such circumstances.

The majority of cricket followers would I'd imagine think is a pretty poor show from Bangladesh.
