    Watch: A bizarre moment in Sheffield Shield leaves fans bemused
  • The Sheffield Shield match between Victoria and Queensland, held at the Junction Oval, saw a bizarre incident unfold, which left a lot of people bemused.

    Leg-spinner Mitchell Swepson, playing for Queensland, pitched a delivery outside the pitch area but the umpire sanctioned it to be a legal delivery.

    Both the commentators as well as the fans were shocked with this decision.

    Here is more.

    What happens when ball is pitched outside the pitch area?
  • When a ball is pitched outside the pitch area, it is generally considered a no-ball.

    As per the rule, a ball is considered a no-ball "if the ball bounces not wholly within the 10 foot width of a full pitch, or bounces wholly or partly on an artificial surface next to the pitch, or bounces not wholly on the artificial surface in use."

  • Reaction

    How did the commentators react?

    How did the commentators react?
  • "That landed off the wicket. That's a no-ball. That did not land on the pitch. That landed outside the return crease, so that's a no-ball. That's not even a hard decision. You can't bowl it there. How has he let that go. It completely confused me. It was almost as if it's a practice ball," the two commentators said during a conversation on-air.

    Some strong words

  • The umpiring at all levels is the worst it has ever been. I don’t think you will see the two that officiated in this game EVER again!!! Had absolute stinkers.
