A very strange incident occurred during the second T20 match between Australia and West Indies where the umpire declared a clear run out as not out. Making a run in the 19th over of the second innings, Alzarri Joseph was about a foot from the crease when he was thrown out at the end of Spencer Johnson’s bowling, but the umpire declared it not out. Why did the referee do that? Let us know.
What actually happened was that after the run-out, Spencer Johnson returned to the run-up to bowl the next ball and no Australian player attempted to run out. The viral video also shows that no player from the Australian team calls for elimination.
Then the elimination of Alzarri Joseph is shown on the big screen, where it becomes clear that he is out of the race. Seeing Joseph out, Australian captain Mitchell Marsh begins to celebrate the wicket, but the umpire stops him from celebrating by saying no one has appealed. However, the umpire doesn’t let Alzarri out and he doesn’t stay out until the end of the inning.
This incident occurred on the third ball of the 19th over when Joseph played a shot towards cover and ran towards the run, but he was thrown out before completing the crease, which is not given due to lack of appeal. According to the rules of cricket, the umpire is not allowed to give up unless the fielding team asks for a wicket.
There were extremely bizarre scenes at the Adelaide Oval.
