Mayank decision, unpardonable umpiring

[Gollum]

Disgraceful. Clearly it was bat hitting ground, spoils the nature of the contest. Happens to us every *ing time, forget 50:50 decisions (which mostly go against us), we get robbed so often esp in SENA that it is hard not to feel sorry for the team.

Any videos?

Cricinfo seems to suggest otherwise (I didn't see it)

38.4 taken down the leg side! Overpitched, outside leg stump, but Agarwal has tried to flick behind square. It touches something, and the keeper collects. Umpire gives it out and Agarwal is walking back. But Kohli asks him to reconsider, and he goes for the review with just one second left on the clock. What's interesting is the bat doesn't seem to make contact with the ball on the hotspot, so now they're checking for the snicko, and there it shows that there's a very tiny edge off the bat. Agarwal has to walk back, Aleem Dar has given a terrific decision this evening. India lose a review 96/3

**** happens. This was not a blunder as such. Even the batsman was not even sure.

I never understood the snicko. I have seen the spike cricinfo talks about when the ball just passes past the bat with no contact as well. There is no sharp spike that we usually see for an edge. Everyone went up for the appeal because they heard the bat hitting the ground.

It was a strange one. No hotspot but the snicko suggested noise when the ball went past the bat. Also there was a gap between the bat and the ground at that point so it wasn't bat hitting ground noise.

I thought they did not move the video till the point of contact of bat with ground. Well end of the day, one technology was contradicting another technology.

It wasn't bat hitting the ground...blades of grass flew as the bat came very close to ground. Hotspot was obstructed by short-leg fielder. Aleem Dar sure raised his finger in a hurry, but i don't think it was a howler. Not something that we can claim 'robbed us' of this match.

..... get over it! .... not for the first time, not for the last time!

The batsmans reaction when he didnt even want too review shows it was a fair decision imo 

[ShoonyaSifar]

Mayank almost walked off, that suggests he clearly felt he had hit it. End of story

There is no way mayank was walking off without reviewing if he hadn't hit that. Kohli forced him to review

Yes that's why they didn't reverse the decision. It wasn't a howler really.
