Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly was supposed to be the first batsman in history to be timed out.

1/ 7

Yesterday’s match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh turned out to be the most special match in the history of the World Cup. The match witnessed the first time in World Cup history that a batter was dismissed as timed out. Sri Lankan all-rounder Angelo Mathews was out this way. Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan appealed against Mathews who was not ready to bat despite the stipulated time. With this the umpires gave out.

Critics say that Shakib’s action is not befitting of cricket, which is known as a gentleman’s game. At the same time, many people came forward in favor of Shakib. With this, Mathews’ out has become a heated discussion on social media. But Shakib Al Hasan said after the match that he appealed for the timed out as per the instructions of his teammate. Shakib said that the only goal was to ensure the success of his team.

However, former India skipper Sourav Ganguly should have been the first batsman to get timed out. Ganguly was not dismissed that day despite reaching the crease six minutes late to bat because the opposing team captain did not appeal.

The incident took place during the 2007 Test match between India and South Africa in Cape Town. Graeme Smith was the captain of South Africa that day. In the second innings, when India’s team score stood at six, when the second wicket fell, it was Ganguly who had to come to the crease anew.

But Ganguly did not arrive even after the two minutes allowed. Dravid, who was at the crease, looked impatiently towards the dressing room. At this time South African players including Graeme Smith asked the umpire for information. Neither Dravid nor the other players on the field understood why the new batter was late.

Six minutes had passed when Ganguly finally reached the crease and was ready to face the strike. At that time, Smith could have appealed under the rules of cricket. In that case, the umpire would have allowed out. Ganguly would have become the first batsman to be timed out in the history of international cricket. Those close to the team said that Ganguly was not prepared or prepared to bat when two wickets fell unexpectedly.

At the same time, Shakib Al Hasan responded that the umpires asked him whether to withdraw the appeal. But he was on the war front. Mathews took the guard late because of a helmet problem. Due to this, Shakib’s appeal and the umpire’s call out.

Mumbai: South Africa, who suffered a surprise defeat against the Netherlands, made a spectacular comeback by defeating the defending champions, England. South Africa beat England by 229 runs. Batting first after losing the toss, South Africa scored 399 runs for seven wickets at the Wankhede Stadium. England’s reply ended with 170 runs in 22 overs.

Heinrich Klaasen’s (109 off 67 balls with four sixes and 12 fours) and Marko Jansson’s (75 runs off 42 balls with six sixes and three fours and two wickets) gave South Africa a huge win. Hentich Klaasen was man of the match.

At one stage, England collapsed to 100 for eight, the fight between Gus Atkinson (35 off 21 balls) and Mark Wood (unbeaten 43 off 17 balls including five sixes and two fours) helped reduce the momentum of the defeat.

Gerald Coetzee, who took three wickets in the South African line-up, led the way to destroy England. Lungi Ngidi and Jansen took two wickets each and Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj took one wicket each.

The defending champions lost opener Jonny Bairstow (10) as they started batting in search of a big target. Bairstow was dismissed by Lungi Ngidi who was caught by van der Dusen. Joe Root (two) followed, before Jansen settled to David Miller’s hands.

Jansen also returned opener David Malan (six) soon after. With that, England was 24 for 3. Ben Stokes (five), Harry Brook (17), captain Jos Buttler (15), David Willey (12) and Adil Rashid (10) also surrendered without resistance as England slumped to 100 for eight.

England won the toss and sent South Africa into bat first. Reece Topple gave hope early on by dismissing opener Quinton de Kock (four) on a wicket that was sure to see runs. But later the story changed. Opener Reesa Hendricks (85 off 75 balls including three sixes and nine fours) and Rassie van der Dusen (60 off 61 balls) put on a smashing batting partnership. Their century partnership gave South Africa a good foundation. Adil Rasheed dismissed Dozen. The next captain, Aidan Markram (42 off 44 balls) also put on a good batting tie in the middle overs. Klaasan came to the crease when Hendricks returned.

Tople dismissed David Miller (five), who is known for his explosive batting, and South Africa got a bit defensive. But later, Klaasen and Jansen, who came together at the crease, beat the English bowling line. The balls reached the gallery in a row, regardless of pace or spin. In the meantime, despite his poor fitness, Klassen completed his century.

England’s fast bowler Mark Wood was driven to the boundary by Klassen several times. Atkinson eventually fired Klaasen. The score reached 399 after Jansen smashed it in the last overs. Gerald Coetzee (three) was dismissed while Keshav Maharaj (one) remained unbeaten.

South Africa’s highest score in the World Cup against England was scored in Mumbai. South Africa scored 138 runs off the last 56 balls. Jansson’s explosive batting upset all England’s calculations. Reese Topple took three wickets and Gus Atkinson and Adil Rasheed took two wickets each for England.
