[Watch] MLC 2025: Michael Bracewell humorously signals for a review, then notices he’s been bowled

In Match 14 of the current Major League Cricket season between MI New York and the San Francisco Unicorns, Michael Bracewell was observed motioning for a review after being bowled. This came after his team’s run-chase saw the Kiwi batting all-rounder get out for a golden duck.

Michael Bracewell attempted to swipe a length ball that Romario Shepherd had aimed at the line of the stumps.

The ball eventually kissed the off stump after passing through the space between the bat and pad. Michael Bracewell didn’t realise he hadn’t been declared LBW until Shepherd pointed that out to him.

In the end, San Francisco won by 47 runs, extending their winning streak to five games. Conversely, New York lost for the fourth time in five games. Overall, Bracewell’s day was one to forget. He was only given two overs with the ball, and he gave up thirty-five runs in those two overs.

Subsequently, he was dismissed on the first ball he faced for the third time in T20 cricket after being dismissed with the bat. Captain Nicholas Pooran was another individual who had a bad day. In an intimidating 247-run chase, he could only muster 15 off 17. The opening batters built a foundation that he was unable to build upon.

After failing to create an impact in the first innings, Shepherd recovered well with the ball. In the end, the West Indian bowlers produced the most economical numbers across the two teams. His four-over total of 2/30 included the dismissals of Bracewell (0 off 1) and Quinton de Kock (70 off 46).
