Controversies

On September 2015, the 2nd ODI between England and Australia at Lord’s saw Stokes being sent back to the pavilion for obstructing the field by the third umpire. The 26-year-old English all-rounder seemed to be trying to get back into the crease after the Mitchell Starc hurled the ball at the sticks catching him out of the crease.

The on-field umpire Tim Robinson left the decision to the third umpire Joel Wilson who ruled it in favor of the Aussies. This decision was one of the key factors for Australia’s who went on to lead the series 2-0. Captain Eoin Morgan, Ben Stokes, and many pundits criticise the decision made by Tim Robinson, Kumar Dharmasena and Joel Wilson.
