Had the Bangladeshi umpire not joined, India would have lost 3 wickets for 30 runs … English pace in anger

New Delhi. If the umpires had supported Chris Woakes, then on the first day of the second Test against India, he would have been 4 wickets instead of 2 instead of 2. His two appeals of LBW were rejected by the field umpires. In the TV replay, the ball hit the stump but the TV umpire did not change the decision due to the umpires call. It is clear that if the field umpire had given the batter out on the appeal of LBW, then the TV umpire would have called them out. After the first day’s game, when Chris Woakes came for a press conference, his face was disappointed. He also obeyed that the umpires kept on receiving two wickets due to the call.

Chris Woakes took two wickets for 59 runs in 18 overs against India. England took two DRS on his bowling but England did not get wickets due to the umpires call. Chris Woakes said on this, ‘It was really disappointing. Emotions dominate when you are desperate to perform well for the team. If these decisions were in our favor, the day would have been completely different, but it is Test cricket and we assimilate these things and move forward.

Three records missed with 10 runs, the opportunity to leave Dravid-Sahwag behind, but Rohit left behind

The first of the DRS taken on the balls of Vox came in the seventh over. At that time, India’s score was 14 runs without any loss and Woakes appealed for LBW against Yashasvi Jaiswal. The second case came in the 11th over, when India’s score was 21 runs for one wicket and Karun Nair also survived a similar review. On both occasions, the DRS revealed that the ball would hit the stump, but the TV umpire Paul Rifil did not have sufficient basis to overturn the not out of Bangladeshi umpire Sharfuddaula.

Chris Woakes said, ‘If this decision had been in our favor, we could have scored 30 runs for three wickets and then the situation would have been completely different. These decisions could also go in our favor but we play this game in this way. Jaiswal scored 87 and Nair scored 31 runs, after which Indian captain Shubman Gill took the innings by scoring an unbeaten 114 and took his team’s score to 310 runs for five wickets.

Although Vox admitted that DRS has made a general improvement in the decision making process in cricket, but he demanded a special change in it. He said, ‘DRS has given good decisions in general but I would only like to say that if the batter decides to leave the ball and the ball is still on the stumps, then I think it should be given out.’
