Batsman dismissed on 7th ball of over; umpire does not notice it!

Representative picture

Perth Scorchers' batsman Michael Klinger was dismissed off the 7th ball of an over in the Big Bash League match against Sydney Sixers.

The Perth Scorchers opener Michael Klinger was caught at third man by Steven O'Keefe off the bowling of Ben Dwarshuis.

After taking the catch low down, the fielder gestured to the umpires to suggest he wasn't sure if he had taken a legal catch.

The officials reviewed the catch and ruled that it was a fair one but no one picked understood that Dwarshuis had already bowled six deliveries in the over.

Shortly after, television coverage showed that the bowler had indeed bowled seven deliveries in the over.

Cricket fans on Twitter caught on to the controversy and reacted to it:
