… out of these three dismissals, Sami’s i didn’t get it… just because it was referred the umpire turned down the field umpire decision.. it was very confusing, no evidence on hot spot… ground umpire didn’t agree with the bowler… no deflection of the ball… and yet just on the doubt… third umpire gave him out…

.

If it happened the way you described, it appears the rules were not followed. Whatever happen to decision on ground stands.

Another reason to have more diversity in umpiring. But when the Pakistanis Indians Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans criticize each other and cede superiority to the western umpires, you will get such decisions.

Granted, due to less experience, the umps from south Asia may make more mistakes in the beginning. But this system survives onky because the Commonwealth subservience to the powers that be.
