What a dick move by Shakib.
Spirit of Cricket again right?
Mankad, Bairstow, Mathews. All in the laws. Timing out without deliberate delay is tough - but arguably your only job as a professional is to get to the crease ready to play.
Legal, but a bit shitty is my take. And England can FRO - they didn't withdraw a runout appeal after Elliott ran into Collingwood a few years ago. Spirit of cricket is so bloody nebulous.
I have no idea any more honestly.

There's video of the wicket here:

I always figured the intent of the rule was to catch out a middle/lower order batter who scuttled down to the servo to grab a pie, without anticipating a top order collapse. Not so much what happened to Angelo.
But I guess when it takes you 1 min 55 secs to get out to the middle to start with, you're risking trouble. Especially given the already slow over rates in international cricket.

Shakib is a fuckwit (which I thought prior to this) and I think it's a the wrong call to appeal, but I can't hold it against him too much.
The thing that annoys me about this is that if he'd faced one ball and then had the strap break he'd have been allowed to fuck around as long as he needed to get it right. Needs more consistency.

If Bangladesh could have made the semis, I could have got behind the decision easier. They cant, so I'm surprised they went ahead with it. However it is still within the rules no matter how ugly it looked.

@bayimports Win helped with qualification into Champions Trophy. Bangles now (currently) sit in the last qualifying position.

Hah brilliant. First time ever in ODIs. Mathews given out without facing a ball for not being ready to face within 2 minutes. Helmet strap issue.

Hasn’t he heard of Viv Richards or Richie Richardson ?
Pussy.
But yeah, easy for us to criticise from our armchairs but surely he could have gone out to the middle and THEN fucked around with his strap for as long as he wanted ?
Shit situation, if he’d cracked a massive score then Hasan might be held accountable.
-
The rule is be ready to face a ball, so even if he was in his crease if he's standing around waiting for a new helmet he'd still be given out.
The stats nerd in me is glad it's finally happened though, I believe every form of dismissal has now happened in international cricket.

Afghanistan had Aussies on the ropes at 7/91. Big Show is smacking it around (with some luck). Cummins just trying to survive and hold down an end.
Aussies are 7/183 after 32

This is phenomenal stuff from Big Show
