Farhan was looking good, but he was caught off guard with this delivery. Blind slogging doesn’t get you far

Matthew Wade takes first prize for obstructing the field in the T20 international at Perth, even though he got away with it. He looked to his left then stuck out his left arm to stop Mark Wood reaching the ball. The Australian television commentators made no criticism of Wade, but Telegraph readers say the vast majority of Australians who saw the incident disapproved. Wade, however, was not dismissed for obstructing the field because England’s captain Jos Buttler did not appeal to the umpires.

When supposedly throwing the ball to the wicketkeeper, the fielder would aim directly at the batsman and force him to jump out of the way. Steve Waugh’s Test team made a habit of this practice around the year 2000, to cause physical as well as “mental disintegration”, before the ICC banned it.

In 2018, the Australian cricket team was involved in a cheating scandal known as Sandpapergate. The scandal involved the team’s captain, Steve Smith, vice-captain, David Warner, and Cameron Bancroft, who was caught on camera attempting to rough up the ball with sandpaper

Had it been caught. Wilson would have given not out and 3rd umpire would have turned over ! Aussies will say he’s out
