The Angelo Mathews' 'timed out' dismissal, during the Bangladesh-Sri Lanka ODI World Cup match in Delhi, sparked a controversy as well as a need of an explanation about the rule which has never been used in international cricket until today. The former Lankan captain took over two minutes to assume the batting position due to helmet issues. During this delay, Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan made an appeal, which was upheld by the on-field umpire.
