Controversy erupted on Day 2 of the second Test between West ?Indies ??and India in Trinidad when Ravindra Jadeja‘s dismissal became the focal point of debate due to a mix-up with UltraEdge during the Decision Review System (DRS) process. The incident unfolded on the fifth ball of the 104th over bowled by pacer Kemar Roach.

As Jadeja attempted to drive a ball on the fifth stump, he inadvertently edged it to wicketkeeper Joshua da Silva, who quickly appealed for a catch. However, the on-field umpire, Marais Erasmus, seemed unconvinced and ruled it not out. Nev?ertheless, the West Indies team decided to go for a review.

TV umpire Michael Gough carefully reviewed the entire sequence of events and??, upon observing that the ball was close to the bat, requested the UltraEdge technology to determine whether there was an edge. Unfortunately, a mix-up occurred during the presentation of the visuals. Initially, the incorrect image was shown, indicating that Jadeja played the ball away from his body, leading to a faint nick being detected on the UltraEdge.

As a result, the third umpire made the decision to dismiss Jadeja, who was batting at 61 runs, much to the disappointment of the Indian team. However, during the innings break, commentator Daren Ganga clarified the situation. He presented the actual footage of the delivery, including the correct UltraEdge visuals, which demonstr?ated that Jadeja?? had indeed nicked the ball. This time, the spikes were more pronounced, confirming that the correct decision was made.

Ganga stated, “This is the right image, and the correct decision was taken in the end. That’s the most important thing. To set the record straight, it’s not the fault of the umpire or the system. It’s just a glitch.”

Despite the controversy, the match witnessed some outstanding performances. Virat Kohli, in his 500th international game, played a sensational knock, scoring his 29th Test century, contributing 121 runs off 206 balls with 11 boundaries. Jadeja’s supporting role was instrumental in India’s total of 438, where he scored 61 runs off 152 deliveries, including 5 fours. Ravichandran Ashwin also played a crucial innings of 56 runs.

In response to India’s score, West Indies got off to a solid start with a partnership of 71 runs between Kraigg Brathwaite and Tagenarine Chanderpaul. However, Jadeja broke the opening stand by dismissing Chanderpaul Jr. for 33. At the end of the second day’s play, West Indies reached 86/1, with Brathwaite (37 not out) and Kirk McKenzie (14 not out) at the crease.

Australia may have retained the Ashes ahead ?of the fifth and final Test against England, but the series has been miserable? for their opening batsman David Warner.

And that misery continued on Friday, as he opened Australia’s first innings following the hosts’ dismissal for 294.

However, as has been the case throughout the series, the 32-year-old didn’t last long, caught by Jonny Bairstow from the bowling of Jofra Archer. Warner was out for five after third umpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge ruled that the Australian had faintly edged the ball.

But Warner’s dismissal was not clear cut with UltraEdge, the sound-based edge detection technology employed by host broadcaster Sky Sports, showing a late spike with the ball near the bat.

To add more doub??t to the dismissal, shadows on the pitch showed a gap between bat and ball as the audio spike was registered.

Warner’s left foot was moving at the time the edge and his spikes dragging across the ground could have registered on the stump microphones.

A great start! 🙌

The dismissal has divided opinions on social media and in the commentary box, with former Aussie greats Shane Warne and Ricky Ponting disagreeing with the third umpire’s decision.

Geeze I know there’s a s??pike but I can’t see how he has hit that. Looks like a gap between bat and ball.

“It was interesting just working out if the noise matched up with when the bat passed the ball,” Warne said on Sky Sports. “I didn’t think he hit it when you look at all the technology.

“But then his reaction walking off looked like he wasn’t all that disappointed, so you have to go on the technology and say maybe he got a tiny feather on it.”

Ponting added: “I went off the batsman’s reaction. You think about the series he’s had, he would have been absolutely desperate to be out there the whole time. When the actual finger went up at the change of decision, his reaction didn’t look someone that was that disappointed.

“Everyone heard a noise, the only confusion we can come up with is the little blip on UltraEdge, does it match up at exactly the same time as the ball goes past the bat.

“You would probably argue (the spike) might be before the ball has got to the bat.

“I’ve got a little feeling he might’ve hit it, that little smirk on his face was that he knew he didn’t get away with it.

“If he was 100 per cent sure he didn’t hit it I think we would have seen a more disappointed reaction.”
