Ashes 2021: Ben Stokes ‘no-ball’ gives life to David Warner, umpire fails to check all-rounder’s overstepping, Watch

Why fans on social media are irate is because the umpire failed to call at least four ‘no-balls’ bowled by Ben Stokes in the same over before this wicket-ball to David Warner.

England all-rounder Ben Stokes overstepped at least four times before the ball that bowled Australia opener David Warner, which was also a ‘no-ball’ on Day 2 of the first Ashes Test at the Gabba on Thursday (December 9). Stokes should have dismissed Warner for 17 in the 13th over of the innings with Australia at 31/1 in reply to England’s 147.

However, the third umpire adjudged that Stokes had overstepped the crease which was confirmed on the big screen. Why fans on social media are irate is because the umpire failed to call at least four ‘no-balls’ bowled by Stokes in the same over before this wicket-ball.
