Manjrekar said it was a “short supply of technology” and the TV umpire should not have asked the on-field umpire to overturn the decision if it was inconclusive.
“Firstly, disappointed with what was provided to the TV umpire,” Manjrekar said on star sports. “I should have had more testing. Based on just a couple of angles, I don’t think such an important decision should have been made in the game. What I mean is that at first glance there is only one certainty and that is that the pad is being hit by the bat. It is the only visual certainty that we have with the naked eye, for everything else the help of technology, which is Snicko, was necessary.
“So, ideally, if there was a bat, as the edge of the ball, there should have been a previous spike because clearly there were two events there, and the umpire obviously heard a noise. The visual certainty was that the bat hit the pad. If that out the spike, then there was no outside edge. If they showed us two spikes, then you could say that the first one was the bat. So it was a poor supply of technology for the TV umpire, and he should have said he can’t Nail it. “.
Manjrekar also called the moment a “parody” considering India’s position in the match.
“If there weren’t two finishes, they should have gone with the visual evidence of the bat hitting the pad. I think it was poor all around, and I don’t blame the on-field umpire. You have to feel for KL Rahul, the amount of hard work that he put on to open the innings and, personally, it’s a great moment for him if you look at his career and, in a way, for Travesty as well.
“The referees are looking for conclusive evidence. There were some problems at the beginning of that review, the first test being where he didn’t get some camera angles that he was asking for,” Taufel said in the channel seven transmission. “Richard Illingworth had a tough job there, but this camera angle is probably the best for me, it shows the ball rubbing the outside edge. In my opinion, the ball is rubbing the outside edge, which has caused the scuff marks, but Then the bat hits the deck. So I think from the batsman’s perspective, they are looking to see that evidence on the big screens as the decision is made. I think that is exactly why KL Rahul has a question mark. in your mind. Ricardo Kettleborough I also imagine there will be an interesting discussion in the referees’ room during the lunch break.
