The iconic stadium was embarrassed on Saturday due to a recurrence of a blackout when one of the four flood light towers went off, delaying the ICC World Twenty20 Super 10 match between New Zealand and Bangladesh by 15 minutes. Just after Grant Elliott bowled the 11th over with Bangladesh reeling at 45/6 in their chase of 146, the High Court end towers went off, bringing back the memories of India-Sri Lanka ODI match way back on 24 December, 2009. The players were forced to leave the field as it took about 15 minutes to restore the proceedings. Incidentally, this is the same tower which had tripped on previous occasions. The India-Sri Lanka match in the ODI series was held up for 23 minutes because of power failure in the same tower. In another incident during an IPL 2008 match of Deccan Chargers versus Kolkata Kinght Riders the play had to be stopped for 25 minutes. What later followed was a blame game between the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) and the Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation and it remains to be seen what the administration led by former India captain Sourav Ganguly has to say about the mess. But a section of the CAB officials are not ruling out the possibility of sabotage as well. According to sources, following the successful hosting of the marquee clash between India and Pakistan, a section of the CAB officials might have influenced in such an act which may lead to embarrassment for the association and its president Sourav Ganguly. CCTV footage clearly shows a man putting off the switch. Initially, the reason behind the fiasco was thought to be the faulty working of the generator at blocks E. According to some CAB officials the switchover from one power source to another caused the problem. But late on Saturday night, CAB president Sourav Ganguly added a more dramatic and serious twist to the issue. According to the former India captain, the lights were switched off manually. "The CCTV footage tells everything. It's crucial... Lights were switched off manually," Sourav said after a meeting with the technical persons, which lasted almost till 11 in the night. Asked if it was done on purpose, Sourav just said: "Don't know... We have to find that out... But there's certainly no fault with our system." The operator – a 70 year old man - claimed he tried the switchover midway since he had forgotten to do so during the innings break. CAB has taken a written statement from him about his irresponsibility. CAB though is confident that the incident will not follow during the final slated to take place on April 03. Meanwhile as a stop gap measure the man responsible for the act was changed.
