Yashasvi Jaiswal’s dramatic sacking from MCG involving DRS: Who said what? | Cricket News

There was nothing conclusive about the Snicko as the TV referee looked long and hard at the side angle where you could see his right index finger making contact with the ball on the way through. It also looked like it changed direction after passing him.

“I can see the ball touched the gloves. Joel, you have to change your decision.”

Jaiswal fought patiently for his 84th.

Sunil Gavaskar on being fired

Legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar criticized third umpire Sharfuddoula and said Jaiswal was not out.

“If you use technology, only use technology. Whatever I see, I always say it is an optical illusion,” Gavaskar said on Star Sports.

“This is an optical illusion. There’s Snicko, what does Snicko say? Snicko is a straight line. So it’s absolutely not out.

“In my opinion, it’s not out. If there was anything to be seen from Snicko, it was different. This is a wrong decision.

“Absolutely wrong decision. Otherwise, don’t use technology. If you choose to use an optical illusion, then you are not using any technology at all. It’s simple. It’s very simple.”

Simon Taufel on 7 cricket

That’s how former test referee Simon Taufel, also on Seven, saw it.

“In my opinion the decision had been made. The third referee actually made the right decision in the end,” he said.

“With the technology protocols, we have a hierarchy of redundancy and if the arbitrator sees a clear distraction right off the bat, there is no need to go further and use any other form of technology to prove the case.

“In my opinion, this decision was made. The third referee actually made the right decision in the end.”

“The clear deviation is conclusive evidence. What we saw from the third referee in this particular case is that he used a secondary form of technology that for some reason did not produce the same conclusive audio evidence to support the clear deflection.

“In the end, the third referee did the right thing, went back to the clear distraction and overturned the referee field. So in my opinion we made the right decision.”

“I can see the ball touched the gloves. Joel, you have to change your decision.”

“In my opinion, this decision was made. The third referee actually made the right decision in the end.”

Ricky Ponting on Jaiswal’s sacking

“They do what they like with it. It clearly hit the glove. And I noticed it then, Jaiswal actually started walking.

“You can make of it whatever you want. This definitely hit the mark.”

“For me there is no argument whatsoever.”

“As soon as the Australians went up, he took a few steps away. Snicko didn’t prove it was right, but the referee picked up on the deflection and froze it where the ball was at the end of the glove.

“For me there is no argument whatsoever.”

Ravi Shastri on firing Jaiswal

Former India coach Ravi Shastri said on Star Sports hindi: “I guess to overrule the decision, the third umpire should be satisfied that it is conclusive evidence that the bat has touched the ball and the trajectory the ball is over.” There are very few such decisions. The decision against KL Rahul in Perth was also a bad decision.

Why wasn’t there a spike at Snicko?

Warren Brennan, whose company BBG Sports runs Snicko, has explained why there was no spike when the ball appeared to fly past Yashasvi Jaiswal’s glove.

“This was one of the angle shots where there is no noise, so Snicko shows nothing but ambient noise,” Brennan told Code Sports.

“I asked the audio director and he said there was no noise either. Probably only Hot Spot could have solved this problem.”
