What happens if the 3rd umpire is not able to decide in a particular situation if the camera work is poor?

Answer 1

he communicates with the field umpire and says he is unable to make the decision and then the field umpire makes the decision after asking the player involved in the dismissal. If the player himself is unsure then the batsman gets the benefit of the doubt.

Answer 2

you have a good question there.

there was a similar situation in the match India vs west Indies Where an Indian batsman M.S.Dhoni Hit the ball for a six, a west indies player caught the ball. but there was a question raised if thet fielder is stepping on the rope or not. the umpires asked the 3rd umpire to answer. the camera work was poor because of whichthe question was passed back to the first umpire.

Answer 3

They then resort to the field umpires to make a decision. This doesnt really happen. It happened when India was playing West Indies recently when Ganga caught the ball and it wasnt clear from the camera whether he touched the boundary or not. Later noone made a decision so Dhoni just walked. I think that was great sportsmanship by him.

Answer 4

The decision making will be passed on to the field umpires once again.

Answer 5

if the third umpire is unable to take a decision whether the batsman is ou or notout then he decide that the batsman is notout because benefit of the doubt always going to the batsman way.

Answer 6

If the situation is near the rope the decision will be in favour of the fielder (benifit of doubt goes to fielder) or else it will go to batsman

Answer 7

Answer 9

They default to the original call on the field.

Answer 10
