2023 ICC Cricket World Cup (October/November) - India

It’s stupid to blame Bangladesh for taking a free wicket. Yes, probably some other teams may not have appealed. But if the rule is there you have every right to invoke it. If it is against the “spirit“ of cricket, get rid of the rule or make exceptions for certain unavoidable circumstances.

Exactly. Enough of the "spirit of cricket" lecturing. If it's against the spirit, remove the rule, otherwise shut up

During NZ tour of Bangladesh, Ish Sodhi was mankad and was out but BAN took back their appeal that time people were showing respect to BAN players to show spirit of cricket! What about now!?

Different captain

Going by current trend Sri Lanka may summon the Bangladeshi high commissioner over this and demand an explanation

Missed it live but saw a replay, Mathews was taking his guard then his helmet strap broke.

If it had happened one ball later there would have been a helmet changed.

Don't care about the rules or the spirit of cricket. There's absolutely no skill, like Carey or a mankad, just pure shithousery from Shakib.

Ok, maybe not pure shithousery.

In retrospect, it's pretty surprising that this hasn't happened even once before in the history of international cricket.

If what the umpires are saying is accurate, they should automatically give him out. At least with a 15 second warning.
