You just don't get it do you???
Both of the umpires agreed that the the decision was out. They then went to the video because that is what they are allowed to do, that is at their discretion.
There was no contravention of any law as they both decided the the catch was fair.
They don't have to justify using the DRS as it is clearly stated the reasons for the discretionary powers.
It's very simple for everybody else to understand .
The catch isn't even at the wicket and the batsman clearly hit the ball in the air which the fieldsman caught without ANY EVIDENCE both in real time and in review of any evidence of grassing. The decision to give the batsman out was both easy, true and correct.
Also, where does it say that you cannot refer to review laws unless the rules of the game have been exhausted?
The rule of the umpires was that the batsman was out.
The DRS system is very clear on this, and nowhere does it say that an original decision has to be NOT OUT .
By all reports, it was a clear catch in the outfield , with no evidence of being grassed. It's out every day of the week at any level of the game..
To that end , the DRS system actually gave the batsman a second chance, however in this instance it supported the initial on field decision which was out, and rightly so. Absolutely brilliant umpiring.
It is very obvious that you have never played sport at any level.
