Ricky Ponting fumes at Mitchell Marsh for this reason: See here
Avideo has gone viral where Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting is seen fuming after a Mitchell Marsh brain fade in the match against Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium on May 1.
The KL Rahul-led Super Giants won the thriller of a contest by just six runs as Delhi Capitals could muster 189/7 chasing 195.
After a miserable opening show by Prithvi Shaw and David Warner, who were out for five and three runs respectively, Marsh and skipper Rishabh Pant seemed to be cruising along well, just when Australia’s T20 World Cup hero fell foul to a questionable umpiring decision, returning to the dugout after he had ‘nicked’ a Krishnappa Gowtham delivery to LSG wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock.
However, replays seemed to suggest that the ball never made contact with Marsh’s bat and the Australian cricketer would have earned a reprieve had he gone for the review. But the 30-year-old limited-overs specialist decided to walk back to the dugout, much to the chagrin of his coach Ponting.
At the time Marsh was dismissed, he was batting fluently on 37 from 20 balls. In fact, the umpire too hesitated initially to give Marsh out but later raised his finger.
Marsh has had a very ordinary IPL 2022, having scored 64 runs for the Delhi Capitals in three outings, while missing a large chunk of the lucrative tournament due to Covid-19.
Against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Marsh was criticised for his sluggish batting (14 off 24 balls). Had he gone for a review, Marsh could probably have guided the Capitals to a win.
A renowned sports reporter, Nic Savage, tweeted the image from ‘Ultra Edge’, the ball-tracking device, which showed Mitchell Marsh was clearly not out.

What monkey fled with a bag containing evidence in it: Read full story
The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.
In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).
The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.
The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.
Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.
In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.
The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
