New Delhi, November 08, 2024 :Day two of the second unofficial Test match between India A and Australia A saw a contentious moment during Australia’s batting innings, as fans were reminded of Stuart Broad’s extremely controversial decision to not walk after clearly edging a delivery at the 2013 Ashes.
On this occasion, Australia A opener Marcus Harris was at the crease at the MCG, when he seemed to edge a delivery by off-spinner Tanush Kotian, caught comfortably at first slip. The Indian players were convinced it was out, and started celebrations, but the umpire stayed unmoving, and as did Harris at the crease.
While this wasn’t as egregious a moment as Broad’s non-walk, it was still a significant deviation, and the Indian players on-field were convinced that Harris had nicked it and decided not to walk either.
