What is The Whole Matter?
Let us tell you that this controversy has started regarding the wicket of England batsman Jack Crawley. The fourth day of the Rajkot Test match was being played.
India had set a target of 556 runs for England. Considering the condition of the pitch, this target was not only big but also quite huge, due to which the England team was feeling a lot of pressure.
When England player Jack Crawley was batting on 11 runs, Jasprit Bumrah, who came to bowl, gave Jack Crawley out LBW.
When the umpire gave the batsman out, the player asked for a review, this is where the controversy took birth.
Ben Stokes Told The Whole Story:-
Ben Stokes says that when checked by the third umpire, it was visible that the ball was missing the stump, despite this the umpires gave a call and declared Jack Crawley out. I didn’t understand anything about this.
The numbers show that the ball is touching the stump, but as per what is shown, the ball is missing the stump. I am not able to understand what happened or not there, but, certainly, the ball was not touching the stump, yet the batsman was declared out under the umpire’s call. The entire team has had to suffer the consequences of this.
What is The Demand For Stocks?
After the wicket of Jack Crawley, England coach Brendon McCullum was also seen talking to the umpire. Now the England captain has even demanded that the umpire’s call should end.
Stokes said that instead of getting into the dilemma of whether the ball was touching the stump or not, it is better to end the umpire’s call.
