🏏 🏆 ICC World Cup 5th Oct - 19th Nov 2023

Bairstow out first ball.

19-2 Root gone 13

Play was resumed in the NZ-Pakistan game with Pakistan set a revised target of 342 in 41 overs, but only four overs were possible before the rain returned. Pakistan finished on 200-1 in 25.3 overs, Pakistan win by 21 runs in the Duckworth Lewis. NZ must be gutted after posting 401, especially if they don’t make the semis.

A dismissal for future quiz questions - Angelo Mathews has been timed out.
SL 150/5

Angelo Mathews enters the fray. Bit of a delay here though, as there seems to be something wrong with Mathews’ helmet. Think he might have brought the wrong helmet here.

Animated discussion between Mathews and the umpire. Mathews arguing that there was something wrong with the strap. Shakib and Bangladesh though have appealed as they argue the batter has timed out.

Oh my. Angelo Mathews has been given OUT, timed out. He has not faced a ball.

The reasoning is that you have to be ready to face a ball within two minutes of the fall of a wicket, and Mathews was not. A first in international cricket, says Russel Arnold on air.

I like it rules is rules stick to the fuckers

He had two helmets and was complaining to the umpires about them. The opposition were initially laughing but the commentators could not understand why he was taking so long and moaning to everyone.

Tough shit

Commentators banging on about the spirit of the game and that they would have called him back…bullshine, lesson learnt, I’m sure it won’t happen again!!!

It should happen more often especially in test cricket where it takes an age for the batter to get to the crease

Apparently it’s 3 minutes in test cricket.

Stands to reason - can you imagine how long the 11th man would take to come out in the fourth innings without a time limit - especially if there was a couple of ominous clouds in the sky
