Stuart Broad  the Capitan of the England cricket team was been fined about 15% of his match fee after accused the umpires of putting players’ safety at risk after lightning struck England's opening game of the World Twenty20 against New Zealand.

England lost the match by nine runs against New Zealand on with the Duckworth Lewis method after a rainstorm had made the end of the play where New Zealand where 52 for one after 5.2 overs and the England where  in pursue of 172 for six. That was enough for New Zealand to be declared the winners, but Broad believed that umpires Aleem Dar and Paul Reiffel should have taken the players off when lightning first began to strike several minutes earlier.



There were still five overs left and match has not been completed and at this stage the match had been stopped then there would be no results where the both teams would have been received one point each.  When the Stuart Broad is about to bowl for the New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum suddenly a lightning flash appeared over the stadium causing Brendon McCullum to step away.

Yet the umpires had decided to allow the play to be continued after the decision McCullum the Capitan of New Zealand hit a six down the ground and let the  New Zealand a head on the scoring tables. The rain came two balls later, and Broad was critical of a “distinctly average” decision that he believed had not only cost England a point but endangered both sides.

The Capitan of England Stuart Broad said that they feel aggrieved to have that as a loss against our name and the Capitan could be fined from the International Cricket Council for his comments. “It was distinctly average decision making, keeping us on after the first lightning strike. It’s not sour grapes, because both sides were uncomfortable being out there.
