In the ongoing third test between India and Australia, the fourth day produced a great moment. The umpire was about to give Pujara out and then he at the last moment changed his decision. The up going finger went towards the head and the umpire started scratching his head.
This was the most hilarious moment from the test series so far. The commentators noticed that they thoroughly enjoyed this one. Hazelwood bowled this ball and he did not appeal and nor did Wade went up with his hands here. The umpire still was about to give this out.
Chris Gaffaney, the umpire from New Zealand had a hilarious moment in the Ranchi Test between India vs Australia as he pretended to adjust his hat after initially raising the finger to indicate Cheteshwar Pujara’s dismissal
Chris Gaffaney provided a hilarious moment on the fourth day of the Ranchi Test between India vs Australia.
Umpires Christopher Gaffaney and Ian Gould have been as much in the limelight in the third Test between India and Australia as the players. Gould was seen laughing hysterically on Day One of the Test in Ranchi after India wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha put his hand between Australia captain Steve Smith’s legs and appealed for a dismissal.
On Sunday afternoon, the fourth day of the Test, it was Gaffaney who was the focus of television cameras. The match official from New Zealand seemed to have made up his mind on an appeal for Cheteshwar Pujara’s dismissal. He began raising his finger to indicate dismissal but midway through started adjusting his hat. Last year, Kiwi umpire Billy Bowden was seen making a move similar to Gaffaney.
Umpiring in a domestic T20 game in December, Bowden —famous for his crooked finger stance — began raising his hand for a half-hearted appeal for Mahela Jayawardene’s caught behind.
But just like Gaffaney did on Sunday, Bowden pretended to adjust his hat while dismissing the appeal.
