Controversial umpiring greatly mars Bangladesh's hope for semis
Several umpiring decisions during the second quarter-final match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground have shocked Bangladesh cricket supporters all over.
The potentially turning point of the match was witnessed by millions across the world as Ian Gould no-balled Rubel Hossain for a seemingly waist-high full toss in the 40th over of the match.
Rohit Sharma clubbed away the delivery almost instinctively towards deep midwicket where the outfielder came forward to claim the catch.
To the dismay of Bangladesh supporters, umpire Ian Gould called out a no-ball and reprieved Rohit Sharma and India’s chances of a huge score.
When the replay was shown, the error in Ian Gould’s judgment became apparent with repeated viewing as the ball was dipping sharply when the batsman made contact.
Such decisions are usually given by the leg-umpire but in this occasion Aleem Dar chose to remain silent, to the mystery of Bangladesh fans.
