Frustrated Kieron Pollard mocks the umpire
It all happened in the 19th over of the TKR inning, when a certain wide ball was not given wide by the on-field umpire. Wahab Riaz bowled a delivery for which the batsman Tim Seifert had to reach. He couldn’t reach the ball and it should certainly have been called a wide, but it was not so. Both the batsmen were baffled by this decision and a frustrated Kieron Pollard started walking towards the 30-yard circle and stood near it as an indication of his disapproval.
