A bizarre umpiring incident took place in the Big Bash League (BBL) 2021-22 game between the Melbourne Stars and the Perth Scorchers as umpire Bruce Oxenford reversed his decision in just three seconds.
In the 5th ball of the 14th over of the Perth Scorchers innings, Xavier Crone delivered a short-pitched ball to Ashton Turner and he tried to play a pull shot and was unable to make a good connection with the ball and the ball hit his helmet and the wicketkeeper easily took the catch. The on-field umpire Bruce Oxenford soon raised his finger, giving out to Ashton Turner after the bowler appealed.
