Mathews became the first-ever batter in international cricket to be timed out on Monday.
With his helmet strap snapping, Mathews overshot the two-minute limit to face his first ball. Opposition captain Shakib Al Hasan appealed. The umpires smiled, accepted it, and asked Shakib if he wished to withdraw the appeal. Shakib stood his ground. Mathews had to walk off.
It has erupted controversy all over the cricket world since then.
