Josh Hazlewood bowled a superb size ball outdoors the off stump to South Africa skipper Dean Elgar. The batter poked the ball and bought an out of doors edge on it. What adopted was a surprising catch from Steve Smith at second slip. While the bottom umpires had been satisfied with Smith’s catch, they despatched the choice upstairs for a last test.
It was a good choice however provided that the smooth sign from umpire Chris Gaffaney was out, the ultimate choice was expceted to go in favour of Australia because the third umpire wanted conclusive proof to overturn the choice of the bottom umpire. But to everybody’s shock, the third umpire dominated it in favour of the batter as he felt that the ball touched the floor earlier than Smith took the catch.
The former Australia skipper could not consider when the massive display in stadium confirmed ‘not out’.
