"Not Your Backyard...": India Pacer Blasts Angelo Mathews Over 'Timed Out' Debate. Then Deletes Post
Indian cricket team fast bowler Jaydev Unadkat was extremely critical of Sri Lanka all-rounder Angelo Mathews over the 'Timed Out' controversy in Cricket World Cup 2023. Mathews became the first cricketer ever to be dismissed 'Timed Out' and that led to a massive debate involving the 'spirit of cricket'. Mathews took to social media to give proof that he was able to reach the crease in time but a broken helmet strap did not allow him to take strike. According to an ESPNCricinfo report, umpire Richard Illingworth informed Mathews that he had 30 seconds left when the Sri Lankan batter walked in to bat against Bangladesh.
Watch: After 'Timed Out' Controversy, Another Unusual Dismissal Rocks Sri Lanka Against Bangladesh
The series of unusual dismissals continued during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh following Angelo Mathews becoming the first international batter ever to be ruled 'timed out'. Dhananjaya De Silva looked in good touch but he also ended up losing his wicket in a rare dismissal as Mushfiqur Rahim showed superb presence of mind to complete the stumping. On the final delivery of the 38th over, Dhananjaya stepped out of the wicket but the ball brushed his thigh and rolled towards the wicket-keeper. The batter was far away from the crease but Mushfiqur failed to collect it cleanly and ended up disturbing the stumps. However, the veteran cricketer did not lose his calm and quickly uprooted the stump to make sure that the stumping was completely properly.
Bangladesh Beat Sri Lanka At Cricket World Cup After Angelo Mathews 'Timed Out' Row
Sri Lanka batsman Angelo Mathews became the first player to be given "timed out" in the 146-year history of international cricket on Monday in a fiery World Cup clash won by Bangladesh. Chasing 280 for victory, Bangladesh rode on a 169-run stand between Najmul Hasan Shanto (90) and skipper Shakib Al Hasan (82) to reach their target with three wickets and 53 balls to spare. The result sealed Sri Lanka's exit from the semi-final race but Mathews' dismissal overshadowed the result after he was adjudged "timed out" for taking longer than the regulation two minutes to take strike when he arrived at the crease to bat.
