Spirit Of Cricket Debate: Dravid Says A Player Shouldn’t Be Blamed For Acting Within The Laws Of The Game
Cricket World Cup: Besides some brilliant performances with bat and ball, the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 also saw a huge debate over the spirit of cricket, especially after the controversial 'timed out' dismissal during the Bangladesh versus Sri Lanka match.
Sri Lanka's Angelo Mathews was dismissed 'timed out' after an appeal by the Bangladesh cricket team, especially their captain Shakib Al Hasan. Mathews had reached the crease with a few seconds left for the two-minute deadline but could not take guard as the strap of his helmet was broken.
He was declared out by the umpires following an appeal by the Bangladesh team with the Sri Lankans hopping mad at the injustice and claiming that the strap of the helmet broke only after Angelo Mathews had reached the stumps.
