WI vs Australia, World Cup 2019: Chris Gayle out on a delivery that should have been a free hit
In a major embarrassment to the umpires during the game between Australia and West Indies, a no-ball was not given just a delivery before Chris Gayle was dismissed. At Trent Bridge, Chris Gaffaney missed a no-ball from Mitchell Starc that could have saved the left-hander's wicket.
Commentators spotted the gaffe a few overs after Gayle was sent back in the fifth over. The ball before he was out, Starc bowled a massive no ball that was not spotted. It could have saved Gayle's wicket as the next ball would then have been a free hit. Instead he was out leg before wicket in the fifth ball.
Twitter was not amused, with the users calling out the atrocious error.
