Australian captain Mitchell Marsh<\/a> regrets not appealing properly as a bizarre incident unfolded during Sunday's Twenty20<\/a> against the West Indies<\/a> in Adelaide.<\/p>\n

\ufeffThe Aussies easily caught Windies batter Alzarri Joseph short of the crease<\/a> when the visitors needed 52 runs off 10 balls.<\/p>\n

Joseph had smacked a Spencer Johnson delivery straight to Marsh, who threw the ball in when the batters took off for a run and Johnson whipped the bails off at the non-striker's end. Replays showed Joseph was short of the crease by almost a metre.<\/p>\n

\ufeffUmpire Gerard Aboud looked around for an appeal but found none, and so opted not to even send the decision up for a video review, meaning Joseph couldn't be given out.<\/p>\n

Aussie fielder Tim David in particular was fuming at the situation, claiming he did appeal and Aboud simply didn't hear him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"This is a joke mate… Just say you were wrong and give it out," David could be heard saying, as skipper Marsh tried to calm his troops.<\/p>\n

Now the T20 captain is unlikely to make the same mistake again when the two teams meet for the second match in Perth on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

\ufeffAboud was technically correct not to give Joseph out given he felt no Aussie players appealed.<\/p>\n

"My thoughts were I probably should have appealed," Marsh said on Monday.<\/p>\n

"If you look back, it was probably the right call.<\/p>\n

"There were certain guys I thought they appealed on the boundary, but ultimately I see it as any umpiring decision, we respect it, and we've moved on."<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Australian century-maker Glenn Maxwell was one fielder who believed he did appeal the run-out, but was ignored by Aboud.<\/p>\n

But he defended the umpire post-match, suggesting he and his teammates should have made their appeals louder.<\/p>\n

"I understand, it wasn't like a screaming appeal from everyone," Maxwell said.<\/p>\n

"We thought it was pretty close, and there were a few of us sort of putting their hands up.<\/p>\n

"It was just confusing … just a weird one, one of those weird rules in cricket. We should probably just be a little bit louder with our appeals."\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
