There were briefly heated scenes when replays showed Joseph well short of his ground and the home team insisted they had appealed.

Australia were denied a chance in strange circumstances during the closing stages of the second T20I against the West Indies in Adelaide when umpire Gerard Abood ruled they had not appealed.
In the 19th minute, Joseph Alzarri took cover and ran. Mitchell Marsh picked up the ball and threw it to Spencer Johnson, who broke the stumps. There was very little excitement from the fielders, Johnson immediately returned to his mark and Marsh seemed frustrated at not getting a straight hit.
In television coverage, Abood can be heard saying, apparently to the television referee over the radio: “There is no appeal.”
The replay was then shown on the big screen with Joseph clearly out of bounds and the Australians began to celebrate, but Abood maintained his view that there was no appeal and it couldn’t be done now.
The players began to gather around Abood, who said: “Stop, stop, stop… there was no appeal.”
Tim David could be heard insisting that he had appealed. Tempers began to flare and a voice was heard saying “this is ridiculous.” David Warner could be heard saying: “it’s a referee’s mistake.”
As the players protest, Abood says, “Can we get on with the game, guys? We’re entering some really poor territory.”
Finally, Johnson delivered the next delivery and the game came to an end.
“I think the referee felt that no one had appealed, and some of us thought we did appeal,” Glenn Maxwell said after the game. “To be fair, I understand, it wasn’t like it was a shout-out appeal from everyone, but it was probably one of those things where you hope it gets to the third official. “We thought it was pretty close and it was a few of us raising our hands. hands.
“We kind of stopped, thinking I had sent him up, and everyone was looking at the big screen and the batter had already started to walk away. So it was confusing; thank God it didn’t cost the game. Just one of those strange rules “In cricket, we should probably be a little louder with our appeals.”
Law 31.3, calendar of appeals, states: “For an appeal to be valid, it must be made before the pitcher begins his previous run or, if there is no previous run, his throwing action to bowl the next ball, and before that time has been called.”
There is no specific reference to an appeal occurring after a replay has been shown on the big screen, although there are protocols for replays not to appear on the screen for appeals that may involve DRS until the 15 seconds have elapsed. .
There was an incident in the recent women’s ODI series between Australia and South Africa where Australia were denied the opportunity to review an lbw against Chloe Tryon because the replay had already been put on the screen.
The incident in Adelaide did not affect the outcome of the game which Australia won by 34 runs.
