“Blind or what”: Fans angry after Mitchell Marsh given not out by third umpire

Not again! After poor calls by the third umpire in the first Test, now in the pink-ball Test match in Adelaide, third umpire calls are once again coming under scrutiny.

Drama is totally on! As Day 2 of the Pink Ball Test between India and Australia at the Adelaide Oval unfolds. India is looking to grab control with the ball, but there are a few decisions that are not going in their favour. One prime example came when Mitchell Marsh of Australia was declared not out by the third umpire, despite the ball clearly striking his pad before the bat. The decision sparked several questions regarding the DRS review and the umpire’s call. Although the impact was an umpire’s call, meaning that since it was already given not out, no change was expected, what came as a surprise was that the third umpire said there was no conclusive evidence the ball had hit the pad first, despite replays showing the ball did hit the pad first. Ashwin insisted that the ball hit in line with the stumps. As mentioned, the drama is all over, and now fans are reacting after seeing some questionable decisions by the third umpire in this ongoing Adelaide Test. It’s also noteworthy that in the first Test, KL Rahul’s DRS controversy had already drawn attention, putting the third umpire under scrutiny once again.
