Twitter reacts to ‘chaos in Napier’ as match officials provide Bangladesh with new target after 9 balls
Cricket never ceases to amaze. Just when you thought you’d seen it all, absolute chaos erupted in Napier as Bangladesh, after being told they needed to chase 148 off 16 overs, were provided with a ‘new’ target 9 balls into their chase. The revision resulted in the game being temporarily halted.
Cricket is a joke
How is it possible to start a run chase without knowing what you’re chasing? Crazy stuff. #NZvBAN

Crazy things happening at Napier! #NZvBAN
How on earth is it possible to start without knowing the exact target?
The sun has stopped play and now an unknown target. Cricket is a joke 😂 #NZvBAN

After all these years and technology ICC couldn’t prepare a software to calculate the D/L score
How can you be an ICC Match Referee and not know how to calculate DLS targets correctly...? #NZvBan #Farce
