Melbourne: Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza tried to stay away from controversy in the fear of drawing the International Cricket Council's ire, but made his intentions clear when he was questioned about a couple of umpiring decisions that went against his team yesterday.

First, a Suresh Raina leg-before decision off his own bowling was turned down by the umpire following which Mortaza promptly called for a referral. Raina was on just 10 then, but the referral showed that the ball had pitched outside leg and the umpire's decision stood. Raina went on to score 65.
