and nothing wrong in that. Not his job to decide right or wrong if its within laws. Its upto the umpires.

Regarding Ashwin, I feel the non-striker is taking unfair advantage and the bowler is well within his rights to penalize him. What advantage did Mathews get by coming late? It was a mean one, batsmen often  come late and no captain appeals or had appealed so far. What if the batsman come in early and the fielding team takes time to set the field. Who gets peanlized there.. That's why nobody has dared to appeal. This is a first and looks v bad. He will be hounded everytime he steps in to bat from now on,

Yes, that's what the umpires are there to decide. Appealing for anything under the laws is allowed. Why have it in rules if you can't even appeal?

Very strong words from Mathews. Openly spewing venom on BD noggins 

 

 

Quite a juicy story for a water filler chat

Evidently, when the strap broke, it was exactly 1 min 55 sec from the point Samarawickrama's catch was taken. If that is the case, the umpires messed up.

When Shakib came out to bat, they should've played the KBC clock audio on the public announcement system :-).

Just saw that as soon as I submitted my post. Should be easy enough to figure that whole thing out. Just takes watching film with a clock.

yeah but if you watched the follow up , the umpire is claiming the law states you should be ready to "receive" the ball within 2 mins, so if your equipment isn't ready by then thats the batters fault.

Perfect from Mendis. Umpires needed to show common sense instead of rigidly following rule book. Also didn't blame Shakib

Very measured & mature response by the Lankans despite the bad loss.

 

The umpires surely were trigger happy with that dismissal. Marais Erasmus probably wanted to be the first umpire to time someone out.

Umpires say thats wrong & also claim even if his strap was broken that isn't an exuse.

SL claim they have evidence. There will be an official complaint from SLC. Harrmisan on CI said  that if Mathews  had taken guard and then indicated to strap broken and asked the umpires for change, they could have declined the appeal. This is really petty of Shakib to pursue.

So isn't it the batsman's responsibility to make sure he has the proper equipment when he steps out to bat. Tomorrow some other batsman may come out to bat without pads and gloves, and just reach the crease in time within the allocated 2 minutes. After coming to the crease and taking stance, he may call one of the reserves to come and hand him the gloves and pads.

 

Clearly its Angelo Mathews fault here, he should have been ready with the right helmet at the pavilion/dugout itself.

I didn't watch the video of the dismissal, but did he take the guard before the malfunction?

Strap could come off even if it was checked before. It will be detrimental to receive the ball without a helmet. It was basic common sense for all to use at that time. Petty petty captain.
