But the referee did not rule him out. Australia has since launched a review. Although there was movement on the dynamometer, it was not clear from the camera angle whether the ball hit the bat. The third referee still ruled him out. Now, many staunch supporters like Aakash Chopra, Wasim Jaffer, Robin Uthappa have posted on the issue.
