“When it comes to low catches, especially in the deep, the third umpire must insist on having a look at a real-time replay. There was one very good angle that we saw in slow motion but in real-time you get a very good idea of whether that’s a clean catch or not. When you slow it down, the whole thing becomes very grainy and complicated,” Manjrekar said.
“It was a clean catch. No one was left in doubt. That was inexperience and inexcusable in a way at this level when there is so much at stake. For low catches, you have to be given the option of real-time replay and the scenario would have been completely different,” Manjrekar added.
Dale Steyn
In conclusion, Dale Steyn too had comparable views. Admitting that moderate replays made things seem terrible as distant as the defender was worried. He pointed out that the real-time see gave a much clearer picture.
