There’s a bit of history between these 2 sides going back to a T20 in 2018 when Bangladesh threatened to walk off in the final over of a game they eventually won off the last ball. Pretty ugly scenes at the end of the match that resulted in a changing room being smashed up.

To be honest, Angelo Matthews always looks like he’s moving in slow motion but if your helmet is broken then surely you should be allowed to change it without being given out. For context, imagine if he’d faced a single ball. He could have spent an indefinite amount of time getting a new helmet or changing his gloves or having an unscheduled drinks break. Umpires do almost nothing to prevent the later which occur on a regular basis. I would imagine we’ll see a change to the laws to prevent it from happening again as this was clearly not the purpose of the timed out dismissal

He could have faced 1 ball and then spent 5 minutes changing his helmet which is absurd. The laws need to be clearer and not just updated for the world cup.
