Maheesh Theekshana [2.0-0-12-0] is back into the attack
Adrian Holdstock, the fourth official, issued a clarification on Angelo Mathews's dismissal during the innings break: "The ICC World Cup Playing Conditions supersede the MCC Laws of Cricket. When it comes to timed out, at a fall of wicket or even a retirement of a batsman, the incoming batter has to be in position and ready to receive the ball within two minutes or his other partner to receive the ball in two minutes. We have certain protocols here within the PCT where the TV umpire at the fall of a wicket, he basically monitors the two minutes and he'll then relay the message through to the onfield umpires. In the instance this afternoon, the batter wasn't ready to receive the ball within those two minutes even before the strap became an issue for him. (Who initiated the appeal?) In the Playing Conditions, the fielding captain requested or initiated the appeal to Marais Erasmus who was the standing umpire that he wanted to appeal for timed out. Just after the strap came loose, the fielding captain can basically request to appeal for a timed out. (No discretion to be used for equipment malfunction?) I think, as a batsman, you need to make sure that you have all your equipment in place in order to make sure you get here because you actually have to be ready to receive the ball within two minutes, not ready to prepare or take your guard. Technically, you should be there within 50 seconds to make sure all those things are in place before you actually receive the ball."
