[Cricket] ICC Cricket World Cup 2023- Final- India v Australia

[A1X]

I’m not sure it’s a great precedent to set that a batter is forced to be either timed out or face a delivery with a broken helmet. It might not matter much with Shakib bowling but Bumrah or Wood bowling could get very nasty.

I wonder if the rules will be tweaked as a result of this.

It was a poor appeal IMO.

Worth bearing in mind that Shakib Al Hasan has a well earned reputation for being an arse.

Afghanistan vs. Australia, Afghans bat first doing OK. 37-0 after 7

Indeed, was just reading this

Why didn’t Shakib al Hasan withdraw his appeal when Angelo Mathews was timed out?

For the same reason he appealed in the first place: because he's Shakib al Hasan. Angelo Mathews was timed out during Sri Lanka's game against Bangladesh in Delhi today. This is, incredibly, the first time a batter's been out this way in international cricket. It takes a particular type of...

From what I've just read, I don't think Bangladesh were even required to "appeal" as such. The rule in the rule book is clear, and doesn't include allowances for broken equipment. Mathews was already pretty much timed out before the strap broke in the first place, so he'd taken his sweet time about getting out there.

That is not the impression I got at all. It was suggested that not only did it require the Bangladesh captain to appeal - but that also after Matthews protestations, the umpires gave them the opportunity to withdraw that appeal, before sending him on his way.

I can see zero justification for following it through - none whatsoever. He may well have taken too long (10 seconds too long? 30 seconds? - in an all day game where both fielding and batting sides help themselves to regular unscheduled drinks breaks lasting considerably longer) but ask the umpires to hurry him up if it bothers you that much. Is it really worth damaging your own reputation and that of your team / nation, with such a lack of sportsmanship?

Poor.

Very much where I got that video from.
There's an amusing article I remember reading somewhere which is basically just a list of the times Shakib Al Hasan has behaved like a knob, which unfortunately I can't find. But it says something that I can't find it because there are so many different articles listing all the times he's been fined or banned for arguing with umpires, the opposition, crowds or not reporting approaches from bookmakers.
Absolute prize knobend.
Who, incidentally, is out of Bangladesh's remaining games with a broken finger he suffered while batting yesterday.

I take it we're all Afghanistan supporters today?

Get this up to 250?

Marvellous scenes

Afghanistan finish in 291-5, their highest ever ODI total, good effort from my new adopted team!

How was that last ball not a wide ?

Aussies may not find that too easy a chase!

He only got a three match ban for that. Blimey, if that had been here.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Tremendous effort from Afghanistan, really enjoyed that. Good to see Rashid hitting that last 6, looked nigh on impossible.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

He only got a three match ban for that. Blimey, if that had been here.

The original article I read about him (that I refer to in my later post and can no longer find) basically said the Bangladesh Cricket Board let him get away with horrible behaviour because he's their best and most valuable player.

I'd love to see Zadran as an overseas player at Sussex. Awesome in all formats.
