Cricket News: After David Warner was given out by Ben Stokes, Ricky Ponting criticized the ‘pathetic’ umpiring. On Day 2 of the first Ashes Test at the Gabba, there was no ball. Stokes made a return to competitive cricket yesterday. Also, outfoxed Warner when the latter was batting at 17. However, replays showed the English all-rounder had overstepped. And giving David Warner a reprieve. In the run-up to Warner’s dismissal, Ben Stokes had overstepped every delivery. Ricky Ponting was irritated because not a single one was called.
“As far as I’m concerned, if someone upstairs is supposed to be checking them and hasn’t decided that any of those are no-balls, that’s simply awful officiating,” Ricky Ponting said.
“That culminated in what we witnessed later in the episode. If he was called for a no-ball on the first ball he bowled, he’ll undoubtedly drag his foot back. What happened, I’m not sure. I’m curious as to why it hasn’t happened sooner,” Ponting added.
