“Umpires Really Did Not…”: Australia Seek Clarity From ICC Over Controversial Marcus Stoinis Dismissal | Cricket News

The Australian camp was not pleased with the third umpire’s determination to rule Marcus Stoinis out within the 134-run defeat to South Africa within the World Cup, with batter Marnus Labuschagne and coach Andrew McDonald saying they may search readability from the ICC. Stoinis was adjudged out caught behind within the 18th over off a Kagiso Rabada supply after South Africa reviewed the choice. The Ultra edge confirmed a spike, because the ball touched Stoinis’ backside hand. But what made issues complicated was that Stoinis’ high hand left the bat and whether or not the highest and backside hand had been each linked to the bat was debatable.

“You have got to accept the umpire’s decision in these moments. I’m sure there will be some sort of explanation coming from the ICC around the dismissal,” McDonald stated after the sport.

Labuschagne, who was batting on the non-striker’s finish, stated the workforce would search a proof from the apex physique.

“We will get clarity or will seek clarity because it’s the World Cup,” Labuschagne stated.

“The umpires really did not know what was going on. They saw what we saw so it wasn’t too much going on. For me it looked on the field… his hand was off the bat, it hit the glove and because it didn’t go to the side on angle Marcus and I were just asking have they checked.

“Because they simply checked the spike from the entrance on. They did not get the shut up, zoom in of the facet, that we had and that simply seemed like there was clear daylight between the 2 gloves and deal with.

“But once again I have been in the third umpire’s room and the screen is big, much clear than me watching from the middle in the pixelated screen.

“There was some speak that perhaps it hit the deal with of the bat. I do not know.” Steve Smith was also ruled out after a South Africa review. The umpire was forced to change his decision as the ball tracking technology showed it was hitting the leg stump.

“It’s exhausting to contest know-how. There was potential that it was going outdoors leg however know-how had it hitting the stumps.

“Any time Smith and Stoinis are there there’s a chance. They are both quality players and given the opportunity, they would have taken the match closer,” added McDonald.
