Adelaide Strikers captain Matt Short has slammed the "ridiculous" decision by the on-field umpires to help the Hobart Hurricanes avoid a no-ball for a fielding restriction breach in the last over of Friday night's BBL clash.
The Hurricanes were two overs behind when the innings clock, introduced before the 2022-23 season, ticked past the 79 minutes allotted, which meant they were restricted to a maximum of four fielders outside the 30-yard circle in the 20th over of the Strikers' run chase at Adelaide Oval.
