Big Blunder! Broadcaster Plays Wrong Video Replay for Umpire After Shaheen Afridi Dismissed Kyle Mayers in Pakistan vs West Indies 1st ODI
A goof-up from broadcaster resulted in a wrong video replay played for the third umpire. When Shaheen Afridi picked the wicket, the main camera showed him bowling over the wicket and when replay was played, the bowler was seen bowling around the wicket.
The broadcaster during the first One-Day International (ODI) made a huge blunder as it displayed a wrong video replay after Shaheen Afridi dismissed opener Kyle Mayers caught and bowled. In order to check whether it was a bump catch and also a fair delivery the on-field umpires sought third umpire's help. While the catch was fair, it was unsure whether it was a no-ball or not as the broadcaster played a wrong video replay. To make things ugly, broadcaster picked a video wherein the batsman dismissed- Kyle Mayers- was at the non-striker's end. And also, when Afridi picked the wicket, the main camera showed him bowling over the wicket and when replay was played, the bowler was seen bowling around the wicket. Thus it proves the goof-up. Moreover, Kyle Mayers at non-striker's end can be identified by his armguard while the actual non-striker at the time of dismissal was not wearing an armguard.
