MI New York all-rounder Michael Bracewell was left red-faced as he tried to review a bowled dismissal in the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2025 game against San Francisco Unicorns. Romario Shepherd dismissed Bracewell for a golden duck. The veteran New Zealand all-rounder thought he was given out lbw and tried to use the DRS but Shepherd pointed to him that he has been bowled. Bracewell smiled and started walking back to the dressing room.
The video of Bracewell asking for a review has gone viral on social media -
