South Africa greats AB de Villiers<\/a> and Dale Steyn<\/a> reacted to an on-field umpire’s decision as a short-pitched delivery that finished well outside the leg stump of SA batsman Wiaan Mulder was not ruled a wide in the final T20I between West Indies and South Africa<\/a>. It happened when South Africa’s score read 160-4 and Mulder was on strike against Obed McCoy on the last ball of the 19th over. McCoy bowled a short ball with the line outside leg stump even as Mulder tried to get some bat on it. While Mulder may have expected that to be called a wide, the umpire didn’t think so.<\/p>\n
