NZ Test Opener Tom Blundell Dismissed In Bizarre Manner In Plunket Shield

By IANS News November 09, 2020 • 15:36 PM View: 1032

New Zealand Test opener Tom Blundell has added his name in the list of batsmen who have been dismissed in an unusual manner after he got out for obstructing the field during the Plunket Shield match between Wellington and Otago at the Basin Reserve.

The incident happened on the final day of the fixture on Sunday when Blundell, batting on 101, edged a ball from Otago fast bowler Jacob Duffy back toward his stumps and first used his foot to try to stop the ball - which is legal as per the MCC rules. The 30-year-old, not having deflected the ball, however then tapped with his glove, which is against the rules and was adjudged out by the umpires.
