In a peculiar turn of events during the second T20I between Australia and West Indies in Adelaide, Australia was denied a run-out when umpire Gerard Abood ruled that they had not appealed. In the 19th over, Alzarri Joseph attempted a run, and the ball was thrown to Spencer Johnson, who broke the stumps. However, there was minimal excitement from the fielders, and Johnson swiftly returned to his mark. Umpire Abood, in a conversation with the TV umpire over his radio, stated, "No appeal."

Replays on the big screen revealed Joseph out of his ground, prompting the Australians to celebrate. However, Abood maintained his stance that there was no appeal and that it could not be made now. Tensions rose as players gathered around the umpire, insisting on an appeal. Abood remarked, "Can we get on with the game, guys…guys, we are getting into real poor territory." The incident did not impact the match's result, with Australia winning by 34 runs. The timing of appeals, according to Law 31.3, requires them to be made before the bowler begins their run-up for the next delivery.
