In a surprising turn of events during the Sydney Test match on January 3, fans raised concerns over an apparent error in the no-ball check during Shan Masood’s dismissal. The controversy unfolded as eagle-eyed viewers noticed discrepancies in the replay footage, raising questions about the accuracy of the decision.
Masood Survives No-Ball Check Prior to Dismissal
Four overs before his eventual dismissal, Shan Masood survived an edge into the slip cordon after a review revealed that Mitchell Marsh had overstepped. The TV umpire, Joel Wilson, examined the incident, showing images of Marsh’s foot clearly crossing the line during the delivery stride. Mohammad Rizwan was positioned at the non-striker’s end in the background during this initial no-ball check.
During the subsequent dismissal of Masood, where he edged to the slips off Marsh, leading to an easy catch by Steve Smith, Wilson once again decided to check for a possible front foot overstepping. The replay footage displayed a side-on angle of Marsh’s delivery stride, seemingly confirming that his foot was within the legal bounds this time. However, attentive online fans noted a significant discrepancy.
Viewers observed that the replay Wilson was shown during the dismissal could not have been from the same ball to which Masood was out. In the footage, Masood himself was visible in the background during Marsh’s delivery stride for the dismissal, contradicting the earlier no-ball check where Rizwan was present at the non-striker’s end. This raised concerns as Masood seemed to be in two places at once – facing the ball and at the non-striker’s end.
I can't understand why no one is talking about this? When Shan Masood was out and it was a no ball, Rizwan was on the non-striker end and a no ball was given. But when Shan Masood was out for the second time and a no ball was checked, Shan was on both the striker and non-striker… https://t.co/Z300SrCFwI pic.twitter.com/NzzpCBwwgk

Potential Unchecked No-Ball Raises Questions
The implications of the conflicting footage suggest that the front foot of Marsh on the delivery leading to Masood’s dismissal might not have been properly scrutinized. If accurate, this scenario could indicate that Marsh’s front foot overstepping went unchecked during the critical moment of Masood’s dismissal.
Despite the controversy, Pakistan managed to post a total of 313 runs on Day One in Sydney. Australia, in response, concluded the day at six runs for no loss. As the cricketing community digests the potential error in the no-ball check, the controversy adds an unexpected layer to the ongoing Test match.
