Cricket: Australian cricket captain Tim Paine loses his cool to the referee in Test 3 against India

Australian captain Tim Paine lost his temper with umpires after a controversial DRS review at SCG on Saturday morning.

In 56, the Australians asked for caught in the short leg after Nathan Lyon thought he had found the inside edge of Cheteshwar Pujara’s bat.

However, outfield referee Paul Wilson believed it was not out of the question, prompting Paine to call the DRS.

There was no clear replay advantage, and Hot Spot also showed no signs of an advantage, even though fielders were blocking the side camera.

Third referee Bruce Oxenford also said there was a “flat line” when the ball passed the bat to Snicko, meaning there was enough evidence to overturn the decision on the field.

But Paine was less than impressed with the verdict, furious at Wilson after the decision was rendered.

“Where’s Hot Spot? Hot Spot on the other side?” Paine yelled, suggesting that Oxenford didn’t spend enough time examining the camera on the side of the leg.

“F *** consistency, Blocker – something tops it.

“He said there’s nothing on the Hot Spot on the other side.”

Wilson replied: “He is making the decision, not me, I am not the third referee.”

By “consistency,” Paine is potentially referring to his second-inning firing at MCG, when a no-out outfield decision was overturned due to a small spike over Snicko.

In Melbourne, Wilson was the television referee who sent Paine packing with the Australian goalkeeper accusing the official of being too hasty in his assessment.

“My concern was not with the technology, it was with the precedence that was established in the first entries with [Cheteshwar] Pujara, and the fact that I think the decision was made too quickly, ”Paine said at the time.

“[Wilson] I didn’t look at enough reps to see the full evidence. There was probably a gap between the bat and the ball, the line [on snicko] itself had begun before the bat passed.
