Watch - Bowler pitches ball outside pitch area; Umpire's decision will leave you shocked

A very rare and bizarre incident unfolded on the grounds of Junction Oval, Australia on Tuesday during a Sheffield Shield match between Victoria and Queensland. The strange incident and the umpire's decision has left the commentators and cricket fans in disbelief.

Mitchell Swepson, the leg-spinner of Queensland pitched his delivery, which landed outside the pitch area. Strangely, his delivery was deemed a legal one by the umpire. Even the commentators were left bemused by the incident.

The two commentators, during a conversation on-air, said, "That landed off the wicket. That's a no-ball. That did not land on the pitch. That landed outside the return crease, so that's a no-ball. That's not even a hard decision. You can't bowl it there. How has he (umpire) let that go? It completely confused me. It was almost as if it's a practice ball."

Fans called out the umpire for his decision. A Twitter user wrote, "The standard of umpiring is getting worse."
