"We're All Unique Creatures...": Rahul Dravid's No-Nonsense Take On 'Spirit Of Cricket' Debate At World Cup

After Angelo Mathews' timed out dismissal in the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Cricket World Cup match, the 'Spirit of cricket' debate has again come up. In the 146-year-old history of international cricket, such an incident never happened where a batter was dismissed for failing to take strike within the stipulated time. The heated deliberations started after Angelo Mathews was declared timed out following an appeal of Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan after the Sri Lankan batter could not get ready in time to face his first ball, coming in after the dismissal of Sadeera Samarawickrama.

A huge controversy erupted in the ongoing Cricket World Cup earlier this week as Sri Lanka all-rounder Angelo Mathews became the first batter in the 146-year history of international cricket to be timed out. Mathews arrived at the crease after the two-minute deadline, following Sadeera Samarawickrama's dismissal, due to an equipment malfunction. The former Sri Lanka captain was left fuming as he lashed out at the fourth umpire, and also labelled Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan's act as "disgraceful".

ICC Suspends Sri Lanka Cricket Due To Government Interference

The International Cricket Council on Friday suspended its full-member Sri Lanka after observing government interference in the national board following a tumultuous week. The Sri Lankan parliament on Thursday unanimously passed a resolution, calling for the sacking of the country's cricket governing body, with both the ruling and opposition parties supporting it. "The International Cricket Council (ICC) Board has suspended Sri Lanka Cricket's membership of the ICC with immediate effect," said the ICC in a statement. "The ICC Board met today and determined that Sri Lanka Cricket is in serious breach of its obligations as a Member, in particular, the requirement to manage its affairs autonomously and ensure that there is no government interference in the governance, regulation and/or administration of cricket in Sri Lanka. "The conditions of the suspension will be decided by the ICC Board in due course," the statement added.

"Had Angelo Mathews Faced One Ball And Asked For Helmet...": Dinesh Karthik On Timed Out Row

The Angelo Mathews 'timed out' controversy remains one of the most discussed incidents from the Cricket World Cup 2023. Mathews was dismissed without facing a single ball in the match against Bangladesh after failing to 'be ready' to face the bowler in the stipulated time of 2 minutes. Though Mathews claims that it was the helmet malfunction that prevented him from being ready to face the bowler, veteran Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik feels that the all-rounder could've faced a delivery before asking for a replacement helmet.

Cricket World Cup 2023: Can Afghanistan Still Beat Pakistan, New Zealand In Semi-Finals Race?

Afghanistan were a whisker away from boosting their Cricket World Cup semi-finals hopes, but Australia's Glenn Maxwell won the game single-handedly for Australia. Chasing a target of 292, Australia were 91/7 at one stage. They were so close, yet so far as Maxwell hit an unbeaten 201 to pull off one of the most unbelievable run-chases in the history of the tournament. Maxwell stitiched an unbeaten 202-run partnership with captain Pat Cummins, who scored just 12 runs off 68 balls during the epic stand.
