The semi-final that took place at Manchester, England, between India and New Zealand, on 9th of July 2019, experienced quite a major and crucial moment when one of India’s players, M S Dhoni was dismissed by a runout. The crucial wicket for India was lost in the third ball of the 49th over. India required 25 runs in 10 balls. The bowler, Lockie Ferguson, bowls a short delivery and Dhoni mistimes the shot towards short leg. While coming back for a double, the fielder, Martin Guptill manages to get a direct hit on the stumps and dismisses Dhoni [50 off 72 balls].

The mistake that happened here is, only 4 fielders were to be allowed outside the 30 yard circle, however, there were 5 fielders outside it when that particular ball was bowled. The umpire on the field had just checked the fielders, after which Martin Guptill moved out of the 30 yard circle. Also, this wicket as reviewed by the third umpire to verify the runout. However, it remained unnoticed by him as well. In such a scenario, it was technically supposed to be no-ball, and Dhoni wouldn’t have gotten out, increasing India’s chances of winning.

This has become a very controversial topic all over the country, in the media, in the newspaper, etc. This was certainly not fair for the Indian team, as it changed the victory chances of the game entirely being a game changer. It was the duty of the 3rd umpire and it wasn’t fulfilled. It was a moment of heartbreak for the Indian fans as well as the players. The ICC was pressurized by lakhs of people to do something about it but it could;dnt have because the match was completed and mistakes cannot be undone.

It has a caused a lot of grief and dissatisfaction for many and still remains a flaw in the umpiring that has completely changed the dimensions of the game.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
