A very well-known dialogue of KL Rahul in South Africa regarding a LBW turndown of Dean Elgar, "the whole country against 11 guys," seems to get back to life again in the on-going Test series against Australia. India is playing the second test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy at Adelaide, where on day 2 Ravichandran Ashwin appealed for an LBW to Mithcell Marsh, where the third umpire chose to stick with the on-field umpire's decision due to lack of clarity. In fact, India would not have gotten Marsh anyway as the impact would receive an "umpire's call." In the 58th over, Ashwin was handed the ball to slow down the run rate, and in the third ball, he gave a full-length delivery in the middle, which Marsh looked to defend on his front foot. But the ball hit his shin pad, and Ashwin appealed for an LBW. The Indian team looked convinced and went for the DRS. The snickometer detected two spikes, one while passing the pad and the other while passing the bat. "Unsure" third umpire stick with the on-field decision. Despite it would have been a not out anyway due to the impact, the problem again arose on judgement. The umpire denied looking for other frames despite having cameras at every corner. But was the ball touching the bat first? May be not, unless there is some defect with the given technology. A spike appeared when the ball kissed the pad before deflecting to the bat, and another spike appeared. Even Virat was seen frustrated, having arguments with the on-field umpire. Bat or pad first? Hard to say - sticking with the umpire's call #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/UqsoPvEruJ — cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau) December 7, 2024 Read also: 'I am not India's bowling coach' - Starc Responds to Reporter Deja-vu of KL Rahul dismissal in Perth Perth had more than 80 cameras, as mentioned by 7Cricket commentators, yet the third umpire failed to get multiple cameras before giving a decision. At that time, the umpire chose not to stick with the on-field umpire despite not having enough angles. KL Rahul, the only batter who looked in form in the first inning at Perth, was dismissed after a controversial third umpire call. Mitchell Starc bowled a length ball that seemed to pass just millimeters from the bat. While the on-field umpire gave him not out, Australia challenged with DRS. A spike was visible, but comparing the frames, it appeared the gap between the ball and the bat was clear when the spike occurred, likely hitting his pads as Rahul lowered his bat. Even commentators sounded frustrated with the decision, calling it a "wild guess," as Rahul walked off visibly frustrated, pointing to how the ball had passed.
