2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Game 38 Bangladesh v Sri Lanka 6/11 1900hrs @ Arun Jaitley Stadium

[eltrain]

I rate Madushanka, great talent and he’s got a bit of aggro about him

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Interesting, I always thought it was getting on to the ground. Would have been handy on Saturday, could have timed out the opening batsman, although I’m guessing it doesn’t affect openers, Davey Warner and Matthew Hayden would have been timed out every game…

Yep - same

But they did say the WC have rules that supersede MCC rules

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Mathews v Shakib the battle we've all being waiting for

 

[eltrain]

imagine if that catch was taken holy s**t, would have been the greatest send off of all time

 

[greyhound punter]

It’s funny to see people who just a few months ago said a wickets a wicket if within the law of the game are now suddenly calling on the spirit of cricket and calling players grubs for appealing…

I have no problem with the timed out decision.

It isn't too much to expect an incoming batsmen to come out with the correct equipment.

Good on Bangladesh.

 

[Blue Arrow]

Rules are rules, don't use an old helmet.
Bangladesh are looking good for the chase, according to cricinfo so far Shakib has hit 41 off 21 balls from Matthews

 

[ep2018]

Such a good toss to win, the dew set in right as Sri Lanka started chasing. They might even miss champions trophy qualification now.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Game has really petered out. Dew probably becoming a big factor for the first time in this World Cup.

Bangladesh has clearly been the better side and will probably chase this down with 5-10 overs left

 

[Moonwatcher]

Australia really want to seal the deal against Afghanistan and not rely on beating Bangladesh.

Cant see Afghanistan posing much issue at Wankhede. Even so I doubt we lose to Bangladesh. Even a washout gets us through.

 

[Interceptor]

Another wicket and Erasmus having to separate players.

And another gone as I type.

 

[Kenny Dee]

Sri Lanka had lost a wicket after a 60 odd run stand when Mathews came in. Some momentum for Bangladesh that is.

Mathews - "Oh, we've lost a wicket, I'd better stop that momentum by having a strap on my helmet break and hold up play".

Suuuuuuure.

All he had to do was either face a ball, or ask the bowler can I replace it? The arrogance of him just walking off to replace it, is against the so called spirit of cricket.

 

[Moonwatcher]

7 down could it happen?

 

[Blue Arrow]

Shakib POTM with 82 & 2-57 and a great post match interview.

"One of our fielders came to me and said that if I appealed, he would be out. The umpire asked me if I was serious. It's in the laws; I don't know if it's right or wrong. I felt like I was at war. Whatever I had to do, I did it. There will be debates. Today that (the time out) helped, I won't deny that!"

 

[revo333]

An awkward moment made worse by the umpires who let Mathews stay on the ground trying to plead his case when they should have sent him off as quickly as possible.

 

[Andrew Mc]

He wasn’t slow and lazy getting out there genius. He passed the departing batsman on the field, he went to mark guard, adjusted his helmet strap and it broke.

Maybe watch what you’re commenting on.

I'll freely admit I haven't seen it in full, but the 4th umpire was just on Foxsports and said that he'd already breached the time (2 minutes apparently in this tournament) before the issue with the strap.

 

[BStaff17]

England is now outright last for the next 48 hours.

[Cleavy]

Mathews getting the wicket of Shakib, he enjoyed that, gave him a send off by pretending to tap his watch.

knew he would get his wicket. should have bet on it.

 

[big_e]

The law refers to being ready to receive the ball, not reaching the crease.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Shakib is a grub, is anyone really surprised, go watch how he behaves in the Bangladesh T20 comp, kicks stumps over, tells umpires to * off.. the guys a low life.

 

[flamethrower]

I just hope the broadcasters turn the stump mikes up to 11 when Shakib comes out to bat against Australia. Or maybe just mike up Davey Warner. The sledging will be delicious.

Angelo Matthews was clearly ready to "receive the ball" and was waiting for Shakib to make changes to his field placements before the helmet strapping broke. (Can be clearly seen in the photo above - Matthews at the strikers end, Shakib pointing to the 3rd man area).

Pathetic appeal.

 

[eltrain]

I’d love to get timed out in club cricket, or at least I’d rather that than going out cheaply. Would give me something/someone to deflect blame onto rather than me playing a s**t shot lol

Pathetic appeal.

He was already over the 2 minutes when he was "ready to receive the ball", the 4th umpire confirmed it last night, they have a timer and he was over I trust their timer. The equipment malfunction is irrelevant he was over the limit before then. Why is he not out there ready in 50 seconds, stop dawdling talking to the last batsmen who was going as quick as Ranatunga off the field anyway.

 

[Cleavy]

imagine if Matthews was still SL captain, the post match interviews would have been spicy!
