Bad news for Ahmedabad fans as some tickets for day one of the 4th Test locked out
IND AUS Ahmedabad Test: Change in UMPIRES for Ahmedabad Test? Joel wilson & Nitin Menon UNDER FIRE after 5 decisions get OVERTURNED in Indore Test, Check OUT
Menon missed several calls as early as the first day, but the Australians did not review the judgements that would have gone in their favour. Notably, Menon missed two calls on India skipper Rohit Sharma in the very first over of the match. The Indian opener was out for duck twice but the umpire and Australia missed on both occasions.
On day two, Wilson received the majority of the negative feedback from fans on social media.
After an Australian review, the Trinidadian official’s first ruling that Ravindra Jadeja was not out was reversed.
Five wickets in all, including two Nathan Lyon LBWs on day two, required a player’s review.
FANS reaction on blunders by both umpires
The cricket community wasted no time in criticising the umpire’s performance.
Why do the Aussies keep having plumb LBWs given not out? Seriously. Joel Wilson is terrible #IndvsAus

Can only admire Joel Wilson’s commitment to never give Nathan Lyon an LBW decision. Amazing dedication.

How many incorrect decisions is that by the umpires today alone? Feels like more than a dozen. Embarrassing performance. #INDvAUS #Cricket
