Batsman angry, hits out at wickets

This is funny as well as sad moment in local cricket. A batsman was given out caught behind as it seems and he was not happy about it. In his anger and frustration he swung his bat and blew out the wickets. Not only this, he threw a lot of harsh words at the umpire.


This incident happened in a local cricket game. The commentators were shocked to see the reaction from this batsman. There was no need to become this angry. In cricket there is always a chance that the umpire makes a mistake but this is no way to react to these mistakes.

The bowler bowled the ball outside the off stump. The batsman as it seems missed out defending the ball. It went past his bat and the wicket keeper took the ball in his gloves. Now the bowling team made a huge appeal and the umpire gave it out. That was it and then the batsman swung his bat like he is playing golf.

In another news a 14-year-old cricketer has died in Bangladesh after he was hit by a stump thrown by an angry batsman during a friendly game between neighbourhood teams, police said Monday.

Faisal Hossain was fielding in the southeastern port city of Chittagong when the batsman was given out, assistant police commissioner Jahangir Alam told AFP.

“The batsman was furious when he saw that he was stumped or bowled out. He grabbed a stump and threw it in the air. The stump hit part of the neck and head of Faisal who was fielding close to the wicket,” he said.

“He collapsed on the ground in pain and was declared dead after he was taken to a hospital.”

The batsman has been detained and will be prosecuted for causing unintentional death, police said. Clashes are common over cricket in Bangladesh, where the sport is taken seriously even at village level. Last May, a batsman wielding a stump allegedly beat a 16-year-old cricketer to death in Dhaka after the teenager taunted the umpire over a no-ball delivery.
