Controversy erupted in the 2nd ODI between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh today as Brendan Taylor was ruled out ‘hit-wicket’ whilst shadow-batting after the ball was dead. The Zimbabwe captain was given out, despite MCC’s hit-wicket laws suggesting that Taylor should have been ruled not out.
Wait, what?
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. https://t.co/WMH7v8mQ43

What have you done, Taylor?
Brendan Taylor hit wicket – Tricky, but incorrect decision IMO.
Ball already received, and not setting off for a run either. https://t.co/xiuij6DUpD— Karthik Lakshmanan (@lk_karthik) July 18, 2021
That Brendan Taylor hit wicket should have been not out by the law no?

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.— Adam Theo??? (@AdamTheofilatos) July 18, 2021
Meanwhile Brendon Taylor continues to get out after looking sublime. Out hit wicket this time. #zimvban
