- Cricket fans escaped in referee Joel Wilson for a decision on Thursday
- He arrived when Sri Lanka finished the first day of the second test with 229-2
Crick fans stayed scratching on Thursday afternoon after Sri Lanka was forced to review a decision that many had claimed that he was clearly not out.
Kamindu Mendis reached the fold for the average session on the first day of the second Australian test against Sri Lanka in Galle and seemed to be trapped behind a installment of Nathan Lyon.
The Australian spinner apparently claimed his 550 test wickt, with referee Joel Wison raising his finger to point out.
While Australia celebrated the capture, Mendis, inflexible in which he had not trimmed the ball, said a review.
But the referee was forced to revoke his decision after Ultrahedge Replays showed that there was a clear and substantial gap between Mendis's bat and the ball with Snicko not showing any peak.
The all -terrain left -handed would stay in the fold, but it would not be for a long time, with Mendis being fired by Travis Head for 13 races of 21 balls.
Referee Joel Wilson has been criticized by some social networks users for a decision during Australia's clash against Sri Lanka
Kamindu Mendis seemed to play in a delivery of Nathan Lyon but did not hit the ball. He was later delivered by referee Wilson, but the third referee did not revoke the decision
Despite that, some fans were particularly critical of Wilson's call.
'Question would be. Does Joel Wilson ever have one good? One wrote in X.
Another added: “When Joel Wilson says, the rest of the world knows that it will not be out.”
'Absolute elite Joel Wilson moment there. Close one. I only lost it for 5 or more cm, '' another added.
“Joel Wilson Shocker … Lost by a mile … God knows what they were even attracting,” wrote a user of social networks.
It occurs after Australia had denied an impressive capture during his final test against India last month.
Steve Smith had set a hand on a Kohli virat edge, just before the ball seems to touch the floor.
In the repetition, it seemed that Smith had put his fingers under the ball before making the capture with Wilson, who was the third referee for the game, canceling the capture claiming that he thought the ball had touched the floor.
Fans turned to X to criticize referee Wilson and seemed to make reference to the fact that he had received a couple of bad calls during the recent series of Australian tests against India
Travis Head would say goodbye to Travis Head for 13 races of 21 balls
Sri Lanka ended the opening day of the second test in Galle after having hit 229-9 with the head (center) Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon and Matthew Kuhnemann, all taking Wickts the first day
He also had a crucial decision annulled during the boxing day test after Yashavi Jaiswal surpassed Alex Carey's childbirth behind the stumps.
The moment attracted a lot of attention online because Snicko did not show a spike, but it seemed that the flight of the ball had diverted after passing to Jaiswal.
But Wilson was revoked again when he gave the decision out.
The moment attracted the scrutiny of some fans of India, with the vice president of the BCCI Rajeev Shukla stating: 'Yashavi Jaiswal was clearly not out. The third referee should have taken note of what technology was suggesting. When the field referee is canceled, the third referee should have solid reasons.
Sunil Gavaskar even criticized the call of the third referee.
“I think there will be conversations with perhaps the referee of the party and the referees that if technology should not be taken, why does it have it at all?” The Legend of the Cricket of India told Channel 7.
'That is something that will definitely be the consultation with regard to the Indians. Yes, it seemed that it could have left the glove, but there may be an optical illusion.
However, Pat Cummins and Rohit Sharma agreed that the ball had played part of Jaiswal's glove when he passed Carey behind the stumps.
Despite the moment, Sri Lanka finished the first day in Galle on 229-9 with Kusal Mendis (59) and Lahiru Kumara (0) still in the fold.
