McCullum reported for Dissent

May 18, 2009 by Editor 

Kolkata Knight Riders Captain, Brendon McCullum has been reported by on-field umpires S Ravi and Rudi Koertzen for showing dissent in the match against Deccan Chargers in Johannesburg. The incident took place when the umpire signaled no-ball in the last over of the match, as there were only three fielders inside thirty yard circle. After lengthy argument between McCullum and the umpires, the decision remained the same.

However, McCullum apologised voluntarily during the match presentation. He said, “I want to apologise for the reaction out there, it was purely out of emotion. We’re going to try to stay as positive as we can. It’s not easy being in a team that has lost of a lot of tight games.” Kolkata have had a woeful campaign and are already out of the competition after losing ten of their 12 matches with just two matches to go.
