Weird, Strange and Funny bowled out in India vs NZ ODI at Hyderabad


The 3rd umpire mistakenly thought that the ball hit the stumps and
declared the batsman out when in reality THE BAIL FELL on its own
SOMEHOW (wind may be) just AFTER ball passed the stumps into keeper's
hands OR latham's gloves touching the bails.

Watch the REPLAY


============


Hardik Pandya - bowled or not bowled?

The third umpire felt there was no conclusive evidence to rule that the
bail had been dislodged by the wicketkeeper's glove

Hardik Pandya was dismissed in debatable circumstances in the first ODI
against New Zealand in Hyderabad, with the third umpire deciding he had
been bowled even though it might have been the wicketkeeper's glove that dislodged the bails.

The dismissal occurred in the 40th over of India's innings, when Hardik
tried to dab a delivery from Daryl Mitchell to deep third but checked
his shot at the last moment. The off bail was dislodged as the ball
passed extremely close to the stumps and the decision was referred by
the on-field umpire to the TV umpire K Ananthapadmanabhan.

Replays showed that wicketkeeper Tom Latham, who was standing up to the
stumps, also had his gloves very close to the bails; the bails seemed to
light up a fraction after the ball had passed over the top of the stumps
and into Latham's gloves.

The TV umpire checked whether Latham's gloves were behind the stumps
before he collected the ball - which they were, so it was a legal
delivery - and he was satisfied that there was no conclusive evidence
that the bail had been dislodged by the wicketkeeper's gloves.

Ravi Shastri, who was on commentary at the time, wasn't convinced. "Oh,
it's been given out! Daryl Mitchell should be happy," Shastri said.
"Should really be happy, because that, if you take a look again as to
where the keeper's gloves are, where the ball is as it passes the
stumps, it looked as if the ball was at least an inch, inch-and-a-half
above the stumps ... Ball clearly looks to be above the bail. You can
see as it goes past into the gloves, there's no red light, it's only
after that. There you go. From that angle you can see that the gloves
are closer to the bails than the ball."
