Aleem Dar certainly made every one confused last evening when there was an appeal made by the Bangladeshi fielders. This was the last ball of the day and Bangladesh made a huge appeal for a catch against Perrera. Aleem first was looking as if he would give this out.
Aleem moved his head up down gesturing that he would give it out and then certainly he gave it not out. Now the Bangladeshi captain went for a review and the third umpire gave it not out as well as there was not a conclusive evidence that the ball touched the bat.
The last ball of the fourth day's play at P Sara Oval was eventful. Bangladesh appealed confidently for a bat-pad catch against the no. 10 Suranga Lakmal, hoping to end the day with their ninth Sri Lankan scalp. Umpire Aleem Dar nodded more than once, and even brought out his hand to his side, but eventually gave it not out.
Mosaddek Hossain, the bowler off whom Sabbir Rahman had caught Lakmal at short leg, said after play that Bangladesh reviewed the decision because they had interpreted Dar's reaction to mean the batsman had edged the ball, despite the umpire refusing the appeal and following up with gestures that indicated not out.
Mosaddek Hossain to Lakmal, no run, oh, gone! What's going on here? They appeal for a bat-pad and Aleem Dar nods his head before saying not out. Now, they have gone for a review. Lakmal walked away towards the pavilion and Dar probably went with that. He nods first and then takes his hand out and brings it to his side but all of a sudden stops. Bangladesh look a tad confused and Aleem Dar says not out. Coming to the delivery, it is on a length and Lakmal is looking to tuck it away. The ball goes off the front thigh to short leg. Question is if there is an inside edge. This is going to be a hard one for the third umpire. It seems unlikely that there is an edge on that. Erasmus concludes that there is nothing conclusive to overturn, the not-out decision stays. Bangladesh lose their review
"The review that was taken in the last ball, we became more certain after seeing the umpire that it was out," Mosaddek said. "We were confident so we took the review. He [Dar] nodded his head affirmatively first and then we thought it was out, and at the time we thought that there is a chance to get the decision if we took the review."
In the absence of HotSpot, Ultra Edge or the Snickometer for this series, however, all the TV umpire had to go on were slow-motion replays, which did not indicate an edge. As a result, Dar's on-field decision of not out stayed.
Lakmal had appeared to walk during the appeal, but Sri Lankan batsman Dimuth Karunaratne clarified after play that Lakmal had walked because he thought it was stumps and not because he edged it.
"What happened was that since it was the last ball Suranga [Lakmal] came towards the dressing room as it was the last ball. He didn't nick it. He was coming back to the dressing room as it was stumps."
