West Indies superstar Chris Gayle looked extremely dangerous with the bat during the World Cup game between West Indies and Australia. However, a major questionable call from umpire Chris Gaffney resulted in the downfall of the hard-hitter. After a cameo, Gayle was eventually out for 21 off 17 balls.

The commentators noticed during the replays that the ball before Gayle got dismissed, Aussie speedster Starc had bowled a big no ball, but shockingly the on-field umpire, Chris Gaffaney missed it. Had the no-ball been called on time, the next delivery bowled by Starc would’ve been a free hit on which Chris Gayle eventually was given out leg before wicket off the fifth ball of the over.

Fans on twitter lashed out at the umpire Gaffaney for missing such a huge no ball.

Here’s how Twitter reacted:












Mitchell Starc grabbed five wickets for 46 runs in a brilliant show of fast bowling as he ripped through the Windies lower order to give the defending champions Australia their second win in the 2019 ICC World Cup on Thursday.

Sent into bat, Nathan Coulter-Nile (92 from 60 balls) played a blinder of an innings, taking cue from a dogged fight back by Steve Smith (73 from 103 balls), as Australia recovered from 38 for 4 to post a competitive 288 all out in 49 overs.
