Gunathilaka was sacked for 55 in the ODI series opener against the West Indies in Antigua on Wednesday. He is the first Sri Lankan cricketer to be fired in international cricket.
However, the controversy over his removal has continued since the referee’s decision. By law, ‘Obstructing the Field’ can only be given if there is a deliberate obstruction or obstruction. Gunathilaka did not appear to intentionally interfere. Tom Moody, Darren Samira believes that Gunathilaka was not out. But the reality is not changing now. His name has already appeared in the record books.
In international cricket, a total of 10 people have tried ‘Abstracting the Field’ before Gunathirakar, of which 8 have played ODI cricket.
Sir Lane Hutton is the only cricketer to be fired at Trials. The English legend was fired for 26 in the last innings of the Oval Test against South Africa in 1951.
That’s one of the most talked about outings in the history of the event. Proteas spinner Athle Rowan leapt from the pitch length and hit Hutton’s gloves, touching his arm and backing away. Hutton couldn’t understand where the ball was. Thinking the ball would hit the stumps, he shook his hand. But the ball didn’t look chubby. Guardian Russell Andin might not have been able to catch. But the ball hit Hutton’s hand and went beyond the goalkeeper’s reach. The referee had no choice but to concede after the request was made.
First in test cricket, last being ‘Abstracting the Field’.
Sir Lane Hutton is the first cricketer to be fired in international cricket.
This departure is seen again in international cricket 36 years after the Hutton incident, this time in ODIs. Ramiz Raja of Pakistan was sacked in Karachi against England. This also led to heated discussions, because he was out for 99 races!
That was the last ball of the game. The team fee has been confirmed. It took Ramiz 2 runs to score a century. Although he was able to take the first race, he sat down to stay out trying to take the second race. The fielder’s shot went to the stumps. Ramiz raised the bat and hit the ball. Although it was not sold out, it made a name in history as the ODIs’ first ‘Obstructing the Field’.
Pakistanis have a lot in common with this. After Ramiz, Inzamam-ul-Haq from Pakistan, Mohammad Hafeez and Anwar Ali tried this.
Apart from four Pakistanis, India’s Mahendra Amarnath, England’s Ben Stokes and Xavier Marshall (who once played for the West Indies) have all been fired at ODI.
Only Gunathilaka and Ramiz have been out for more than fifty.
Amarnath, one of the heroes of India’s victory in the 1983 World Cup, is once again different from the others. ‘Abstracting the Field’ and ‘Handled the Ball’, he has two strange experiences.
Jason Roy of England and Hasan Rashid of Maldives have been named ‘Obstructing the Field’ in the T20I against Qatar.
