Third Umpire Says 'Not Out' But On-Field Umpire Signals 'Out' In AUS-W vs SA-W 2nd ODI, Video Goes Viral
AUS-W vs SA-W: During a dramatic incident on the field, the third umpire told the field umpire to signal not out but she ended up signalling out.
A rather hilarious incident happened during the 2nd ODI between Australia Women and South Africa Women at the North Sydney Oval on Wednesday. In a contest which South Africa ended up winning by 84 runs to level the three-match series 1-1, on-field umpire made a hilarious blunder that thankfully did not lead to any consequences as she quickly realised her mistake and changed her signal.
It all unfolded during an Ashleigh Gardner over against Sune Luus. While ground umpire Claire Polosak initially signalled it not out and Australia opted for the DRS, third umpire Sue Redfern instructed Claire to stay with her original decision of not out. However, instead of staying with her original decision, she ended up signalling it out before realising her mistake.
"Pitching outside off, impact outside. Back to Claire on field, please. Stay with not out. Stand by. Signal not out now," the TV umpire can be clearly head saying after which came the out signal out from Claire which she soon overturned but not before the camera had captured the hilarious incident.
