Sydney: A two-man catch to dismiss Hobart skipper Matthew Wade in a T20 Big Bash match in Brisbane has led to confusion over the laws with even Lord's weighing in. Hobart batted first and had limped to 98 for five off 14.4 overs largely thanks to a captain's knock by Wade. On 61, he launched the ball high to the long-on boundary. Brisbane's Matt Renshaw, fielding just inside the ropes, leapt and parried the ball into the air as he fell backwards. He landed off the field and then jumped to slap the falling ball back over the ropes to Tom Banton, running round from deep mid-wicket, who caught the pass.
After a long video review the third umpire decided that Wade, who had already walked off, was given out. "I had no idea of the rule really - once he hit outside the field of play I didn't know if he was allowed to touch the ball or not," Wade told match broadcaster Channel 7. "Umpires said he was, and once they told me he was allowed to (go) outside the field of play and tap it back in, I knew I was out."
