Brilliant Wade review denies Chandimal a record

Brilliant Wade review denies Chandimal a record

A sneaky review by Aussie keeper Matthew Wade has denied Dinesh Chandimal an opportunity to achieve a batting record.

The Sri Lankan No. 4 was just two runs short of becoming the first man from his country to score six consecutive ODI half-centuries.

However Wade would cruelly intervene to deny Chandimal agonisingly short of the mark, insisting on an unlikely review.

Although other Australian players were unaware of the possibility of Chandimal being trapped LBW, Wade was certain that the ball had indeed hit the Sri Lankan on the pads in line.

Wade's confidence was eventually rewarded, with Chandimal being given his marching orders by the Decision Review System.
