Twitter fumes as umpires rule Brendan Taylor out ‘hit-wicket’ despite ball being dead

Brendan Taylor out with one of the most ridiculous wickets I've seen in a long time 😭

— Santokie (@Santokie89)

Was Taylor supposed to be given out there? Was that not dead ball? Batsmen weren't setting off for a run. Wasn't trying to play a shot.

Brendan Taylor hit wicket - Tricky, but incorrect decision IMO.



Ball already received, and not setting off for a run either.

That Brendan Taylor hit wicket should have been not out by the law no?

— Lenny Phillips (@lenphil29)

Brendan Taylor in my opinion was NOT OUT there. He wasn’t trying to run, and he wasn’t attempting a shot.



That’s a dead ball and the umpires got it wrong.

Meanwhile Brendon Taylor continues to get out after looking sublime. Out hit wicket this time.

Zimbabwe post the total of 240 runs for lose of 9 wickets. Madhevere scored 56, Brendon Taylor scored 46 runs. For Bangladesh, Shoriful picked 4 wickets and Shakib Al Hasan picked 2 Wickets in this second ODI match.
