ICC third umpire bow your head in shame

The batsman had already left the ground by the time the decision was given which could have prompted the third umpire to give the decision in favor of the fielder.
No defence...take control of the situation, TELL the batsman to hold on, instead of standing there like a gormless fool. UMPIRE the game.

Otherwise why would umpires allow the new batsman to take guard? It was only when the bowler was going to begin his run up did the 3rd umpire inform the on-field umpire that the review was taking place. Once again highlights the lack of communication between 3rd ump and on-field umpires. I remember a ball not being bowled in Ind innings vs Pak. Everyone in comm box was talking about, but the 3rd umpire who could've easily just radio'ed the on-field umpire chose not to. Or the 4-5 no-balls that were missed in Zim v Pak game.

Not plausible I think.3rd umpire cant review decision on his own discretion.If that was happening there was no need of DRS and the fecking umpires call. Itr was just foolish on the part of Sean to walk back to the dressing room.

And regarding the batsmen going off the field, isn't it the job of the umpire to let the batsmen know that the decision has been referred to the 3rd umpire?

Anyone who thinks that was out is blind. It was a clear, clear six. I also highly doubt that the fielder didn't realise.
Clear, clear six? Really? Is that why they showed the replay a zillion times from a million angles? It was close and wasn't conclusive.

It's amusing how many 3rd umpire have got wrong. Umar Akmal against was poor but rahane yesterday was shocking haven't seen today's but there are a few more which they got wrong

If that isn't clear then I don't know what is. The only reason the decision didn't get overturned was that the new batsmen was already on the crease.

Lol no I'm actually sad for Zimbabwe. They have been extremely unlucky in this tournament. And I have enough faith in the Pakistan team to beat Ireland so I'm not too worried about the result of this match; though it would have been better if Zimbabwe won.
