A no- ball controversy hit the series-deciding third T20 between Bangladesh and West Indies hard after on field umpire Tanvir Ahmed made a grave mistake.
Tavir who had given number of wrong decisions in the first two T20 matches as well for the second time, called West Indies fast bowler Oshane Thomas no-ball
despite the foot landing well inside the line in the third T20.
First time it didn’t create any chaos but second time it was tough pill to swallow for West Indies as that so called ‘no-ball’ got the wicket of Liton Das who on 33 then,
lifted the ball away to mid-off where it was taken. As umpire called the ball no, West Indies players only noticed in the big screen that his foot was on the line.
West Indies captain Carlos Brathwaite clearly was seen to loss his peace of mind on the fourth umpire near the boundary line.
Jeff Crowe, the match referee came down as well to solve the puzzle as West Indies demanded a review but there is no ICC provision that a team can seek review
in case of line decisions.
The interpretation of laws came under the scanner here but of no avail. The West Indies skipper, manager, coach, match referee were having an animated discussion.
However match referee tamed them all and finally the no ball decision stood. The game began again
