On Tuesday interesting tied one-day cricket match between Australia and the West-Indies in St Vincent, that's exactly what happened to Andre Russell. With the
Windies struggling to chase down Australia's 220, Shane Watson roared with
delight when he crashed through Russell's defences to bowl the all-rounder.
His joy was short lived though with a replay showing player Watson had overstepped
the crease and delivered a no-ball. Compounding Watson's frustrations, he then
proceeded to bowl Russell off the next delivery, a free-hit because of his
transgression the ball before, meaning again the West Indian again couldn't be
given out.
Watson could only chuckle about the moment post-match before admitting it
was a preventable situation."It was very disappointing especially at that
crucial time as well," Watson said.
"To bowl a guy out twice in two balls and actually have zero result out
of it and giving him a run, very disappointing. "When I checked the
footmarks, I knew I stepped over. "That was not a good feeling ... it's
not good enough."
The Captain Darren Sammy and last man Kemar Roach then had a
horrible mix-up for Australia to complete a run-out and end the match in a tie
- this time with no way back for the great West Indian batsmen.
