India captain Jasprit Bumrah was left unimpressed with the umpiring on Day 1 of the fifth India-Australia Test on Friday after teammate Washington Sundar was dismissed in a controversial manner off Pat Cummins.
The incident occurred in the 67th over when Sundar attempted to pull a short one from the Australian captain but could not connect. While the ball sailed through to wicketkeeper Alex Carey, the Aussies immediately went up in loud appeal. When turned down, they opted for a DRS review.
Third umpire Joel Wilson took some time examining the replays - The Snickometer showed a spike when the ball was close to the gloves. But interestingly, while in one frame of the replay, there was no spike when the ball was nearest to the glove, the subsequent frame captured a spike on the Snickometer. Strangely, without conclusive evidence to overturn the on-field umpire's decision, Wilson deemed Washington out. "Last game he didn't give it out on snicko and now this give out," an unhappy Bumrah was heard saying after the verdict.
"I’m sorry, but that’s a crap decision! Sure, there was a spike, but from the side angle, there was a clear space between the ball and the glove. There is a lot of ambiguity with these kinds of decisions. The benefit must go to the batter," said Former India batter Robin Uthappa.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan also expressed his shock at Wilson's decision and called it "awful"
However, Simon Taufel, the legendary ex-umpire, who is regarded as one of cricket's most respected voices, defended Wilson's call.
"What Joel Wilson's looking for here is that spike up to one frame past the glove, and he's got that spike. There's nothing else out there, and the ball is underneath the glove. The third umpire is well and truly within his rights, according to the protocols, to determine that's conclusive evidence for ball on glove," Taufel explained on Channel 7.
