Ashes 2021: Ricky Ponting slams 'pathetic officiating' after David Warner gets no ball reprieve

Former skipper Ricky Ponting slammed the 'pathetic officiating' that saw Australia opener David Warner handed a reprieve after being bowled off a no-ball by Ben Stokes.

Former skipper Ricky Ponting slammed the 'pathetic officiating' after Australia opener David Warner was given a reprieve on day two of the first Ashes Test when he was bowled by Ben Stokes off a no-ball.

Stokes, playing his first competitive match since The Hundred in July, bowled Warner for 17 but the wicket was canceled by a no-ball review that showed the all-rounder had over-stepped the mark. In fact, Stokes had in fact bowled a no-ball in every delivery leading up to the Warner dismissal, but not a single one was called.
