72. 5. In the second One-Day International between England and Australia on
September 5, 2015, X was given out for obstructing the field. It was the fourth ball of
26th over bowled by Mitchell Starc at full length. X drove it back straight and Starc
grabbed it and threw it back at the stumps. But in doing so, X saw ball coming
towards him and in order save himself fended his left glove, which instinctively
looked like he was trying to protect himself from the ball. Further he lost his balance
and fell on the ground.The whole Australian team appealed for obstructing the field
and decision was given out by third umpire JoeWilson. Many former and active
cricketers considered that a very wrong appeal as X was trying to save himself not to
obstruct the field.
