The K L Rahul dismissal has become a major talking point. Third umpire Richard Illingworth's controversial decision to rule Rahul out caught behind, overturning the on-field umpire's decision has sparked a debate.
Here are some of the reactions:
Former umpire Simon Taufel on 7Cricket: "We saw with that side on shot there was a spike on RTS with the bat away from the pad, in other words the bottom of the bat hadn't reached the pad," he said on 7Cricket.
"Therefore rolling that through in its natural course, you may have seen that second spike (on Snicko, to indicate bat hitting pad) come through, had it been rolled all the way through."
Robin Uthappa: How a third umpire makes a decision without accessing all angles!! Poor!! Just Piss poor!!
Aakash Chopra: Front on angle not available at the time of interception??? On-field umpire's decision not-out. Was there conclusive evidence to overturn the decision? Bat hit the pad for surevisible confirmationthen why not two spikes on the Ultra-Edge? Ridiculous umpiring from the box.
Murali Kartik: Am still trying to figure this...the claim was we have million cameras when the test match started & just when u need the other cameras they are conveniently unavailable for KL's decision..it was such a big spike for maybe a feather if there was any... surprising
Wasim Jaffer: Third umpire asked for another angle which wasn't provided. I'd assume he'd only ask for another angle if he wasn't sure. Then if he wasn't sure, why did he overturn the on field not out call? Poor use of technology and proper protocol not followed. KL hard done by.
