BBL 2019-20- Umpire changes his mind while raising finger: Big Bash League (BBL) 2019-20 is at its apex stage. Meanwhile, teams are trying hard to win in order to get into the top 5 positions in the points table. On Sunday, Melbourne Renegades and Adelaide Strikers have played the 15th match of the tournament at Docklands Stadium in Melbourne. In the match, Adelaide Strikers have beaten up the hosts by 18 runs.
During the match, one comedy scene occurs which is looking very funny to watch. Actually, in between the game umpire Greg Davidson involved in a hilarious scene while he changes his mind after raising the finger. It all happened in the third ball of the 17th over when Adelaide Strikers’ bowler Rashid Khan bowled a googly into the batsman’s pad and he thought that batsman plumb in front. That’s apparently what Davidson thought, raising his finger to shoulder height before changing his mind and scratching his nose instead.
Excited Rashid Khan didn’t wait for the umpire to lift the finger above shoulder height and started celebrating the wicket. Thereafter umpire Greg Davidson was heard saying on the stump mic, “Not out, I didn’t give it out.” This is looking to be one of the funniest videos ever had in cricket history. Even the commentators could stop his laugh. Here we are sharing the video of the incident at the below of this article.
