The third Test is being played between India and England at Lord’s Cricket Ground. In the first session of the third day of the Test, the umpire delayed changing the ball, then former India coach Ravi Shastri was enraged. He said that the umpires could do this even without wasting time. He also got angry that none of the balls that the umpires were checking inside the box could pass through the gauge.

This incident is of the first session of the third day, when the umpires saw the ball after the drink break and decided to change it. This process started after the brake was over. Ian ward, who was commenting with Ravi Shastri, was also surprised by this, he objected to the decision and said that if it was to be changed, then why was it not decided at the beginning of the break.

The ward said, “This joke is going on? The umpire has decided to change the ball. If this was to be done then why not the drinks were decided at the beginning of the break? Why the entire break was waiting for the end. The match should have started so far, but now the umpire wants to change the ball.”

What did Ravi Shastri say

On this, former India cricketer and former head coach Ravi Shastri also agreed, “I fully agree with you, it is beyond comprehension. It is a common sense.

What is gauge in cricket?

Please tell that umpire keeps the equipment named Gauge with you. They use it to check the ball. It is round and it is checked whether the size of the cricket ball meets the standard measurements set by the rules of cricket. The ball should pass through it, otherwise the ball is changed.

India’s first innings ended for 387 runs on the third day, England also scored the same number of runs in the first innings. That is, no team has any lead on the basis of first innings. Now the game of 2 days is left, England’s second innings will move beyond 2 runs today.
