Kieron Pollard Walks Away After Umpires Denies A Genuine Wide

A couple of matches into the ongoing edition of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL 2021), the tournament is already filled with drama. On Tuesday, a frustrated Kieron Pollard expressed disappointment over poor umpiring during the game between Trinbago Knight Riders and St Lucia Kings at Warner Park in St Kitts.

The incident took placed during the 19th over of the Knight Riders’ innings who were asked to bat first after losing the toss. The team was in the middle of a brilliant partnership between Pollard and Tim Seifert. The set batters looked to pocket some quick runs in the final overs when a silly error from the umpire irked Kieron Pollard.

In a bid to not concede runs, Pakistan pacer Wahab Riaz ran in and delivered a wide yorker. But it was so wide that even after Tim Seifert stretched completely, he couldn’t reach the ball. The batsman had not shuffled even a bit as well and even then, the umpire didn’t call it a wide delivery.
