Former Australia captain Mark Waugh lashed out at Cameron Green after he got run out during the India vs Australia 2nd ODI in Indore. Cameron Green was inside the crease but he did not ground his bat, due to which he was adjudged run-out by third umpire.
The incident occurred in the 20th over when Sean Abbott got an inside edge onto the pad and the ball rolled towards the keeper Ishan Kishan. However, there was enough time to take a single. Wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan hit the stumps as the Aussie duo tried to sneak the single.
At first, it looked like Cameron Green was well within the crease. Even Ishan Kishan felt that Green was inside the crease in time. The on-field umpire Kumar Dharmasena asked for a referral and the third umpire adjudged Green out. In the replays, it was visible that although Green had reached inside the crease, he did not ground his bat when the ball hit the stumps.
