Something strange happened on Monday afternoon. Something that hadn’t happened in international cricket before: a batter getting Timed Out.
Angelo Mathews failed to get ready to take strike within the stipulated time of two minutes after the fall of the fourth Sri Lankan wicket in the World Cup match against Bangladesh here on Monday. The veteran all-rounder had some issues with his helmet, which he got replaced, but the damage had been done.
Bangladesh won the match by three wickets. It was clear that no love was lost between the two sides; there were no handshakes.
