Australian wicketkeeper Brad Haddin was involved in a controversy on Friday during the Aussies’ World Cup quarter final win over Pakistan.
Haddin grabbed the attention of the cricket viewers across the globe when he dislodged the bails from the stump even though Pakistan middle-order batsman Umar Akmal cut Glenn Maxwell’s delivery for four in the 26th over.
All fielders appealed for the wicket with Haddin also joining the chorus. He later said he was ''not sure.''
However, video evidence showed that attempted to cheat as his gloves, and not the ball, disturbed the bails and the umpire judged Akmal not out.
Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra posted:
The cricket World Cup's official twitter handle posted about the incident.
This is not the first time the glovesman was up to something like this. A few years back, he had done the same thing against New Zealand and Neil Broom had to depart as the umpires failed to catch what Haddin did - see video below.
