The ‘Call of the referees’ clause comes into play in the ball tracking technology in case of close calls, leaving the referee’s decision as binding.
The third day of play in the second test between Australia and India saw the ‘Umpires Call’ rescue the Australians twice in the second session after close calls.
Joe burns survived a wicket appeal before a yorker’s leg from Jasprit bumrah in the third of Australia’s second innings. After the umpire had not given it, India went to check, but the batsman survived after the umpire’s call was heeded the moment the ball hit his leg.
Soon after, Australia No. 3 Marnus Labuschagne also survived against Mohammed siraj. The umpire hadn’t told him anything after the batter got caught in his crease. However, ‘Umpires Call’ came to his rescue again when the ball was shown to barely cut bail.
