'Awful Decision': Ex-cricketers Show Disagreement On Sundar's Dismissal
What Joel Wilson: The dismissal of Indian all-rounder Washington Sundar on day one of the New Year’s Test at the SCG became a topic of debate. It came during India’s first innings when Sundar was adjudged caught behind off Australian captain Pat Cummins. The on-field umpire, Saikat Sharfuddoula, had initially ruled Sundar not out, but Australia opted for a review.
TV umpire Joel Wilson spent considerable time analysing the replays to determine whether Sundar had gloved the short-pitched delivery. The snickometer showed a spike as the ball passed near Sundar’s glove, but the visuals raised questions. One frame appeared to show no spike when the ball was closest to the glove, while the subsequent frame captured a spike.
Wilson concluded that the evidence was sufficient to overturn the on-field decision. The final verdict flashed on the big screen - ‘OUT’ - and Sundar was visibly stunned. He attempted to protest but was directed to leave the field, departing for a score of 14.
