Twitter fumes as umpires rule Brendan Taylor out ‘hit-wicket’ despite ball being dead

Brendan Taylor out with one of the most ridiculous wickets I've seen in a long time 😭 #ZIMvBAN pic.twitter.com/njQWXHbhTl

Was Taylor supposed to be given out there? Was that not dead ball? Batsmen weren't setting off for a run. Wasn't trying to play a shot. https://t.co/WMH7v8mQ43#ZimvBan

Brendan Taylor hit wicket - Tricky, but incorrect decision IMO.



Ball already received, and not setting off for a run either. https://t.co/xiuij6DUpD

That Brendan Taylor hit wicket should have been not out by the law no?

Brendan Taylor in my opinion was NOT OUT there. He wasn’t trying to run, and he wasn’t attempting a shot.



That’s a dead ball and the umpires got it wrong.
