Slow-Mo finds himself timed out in practice match, only realising when next batsman scored
Controversy has occurred during Ranelagh Cricket Club’s final practice match leading into the Kunyung Cup, with Mo Bent being given out in a bizarre but completely expected manner.
Bent was timed out after taking 10 minutes to get to the crease, reportedly only realising he was out when there was confusingly three batsmen in the middle.
“I couldn’t believe it”, proclaimed Bent when approached for comment.
“I mean, obviously it wasn’t my fault at all, I was just making my way to the middle after the number 3 batsman had gotten out and suddenly I was being told to get off the field”.
Reports have stated that it took 5 minutes for Bent to even notice that it was his turn to bat, and after a lengthy discussion with the out batsman about the conditions, mainly the weather, umpires signalled that Bent was dismissed.
It is expected that the Ranelagh captain will be putting Bent through a rigorous attention training session to ensure this doesn’t happen on Kunyung Oval.
