New rules were seen in Australia’s Big Bash. A six when the ball hits the roof of the stadium. In a Big Bash match, the winning team hit the ball twice on the roof and the umpire decided for a six both times. And there is a lot of criticism about this new rule. However, both sides protested.

The advantage of Docklands Stadium in Australia is that it is possible to continue playing even if it rains. Because the stadium has a roof covering during rain. But while trying to solve this rain problem at Marvel Stadium, a new problem emerged. After hitting the ball on the bat, it will be a six. This is what happened in the match between Melbourne Renegades and Melbourne Stars. Both sides were surprised.

Joe Clarke was batting during Melbourne Stars batting. In the third over of the match, Clark hit a hard shot off Will Motherland. The ball goes straight to the roof of the stadium. Immediately the umpire ordered six. Twice the ball hits the roof and the umpire orders a six. Ben Webster’s shot is also a six if the ball hits the roof. Although the ball was inside the 30 yard circle. But according to the rules of Big Bash, the umpire is forced to give a six. However, the Stars lost to the Renegades by 6 runs.

Renegades captain Aaron Finch spoke about this after the match. According to him, there is no problem in following the rules. But those two shots of sixes could have been out. Finch said, “If there is a rule, it must be accepted. Same rule for both teams. So there is no room to complain. But those two shots could have been dismissed. If Clarke got out in the third over, it would have been an advantage. It could have been the difference in the match. If the roof had been covered, Even the cricketers know that if you put the ball there somehow, it will become a six.”

According to the former Australia captain, these two shots should have been given as dead balls instead of sixes. He said, “The Renegades scored 12 runs on those two shots. I think we should have given the dead ball. 12 runs can make a lot of difference in a game like this.”

Australia’s 12th edition of this tournament started from December 13 last year. It will continue till February 4 this year. The current season of Big Bash has seen several changes in cricket. ‘Power Surge’, ‘Bash Boost’ has been removed. However, the ‘X Factor’ has been retained. However, if the ball hits the roof, it will become a six, this rule is being heavily criticized.
