Sports Desk: Allegations of umpiring fraud are often leveled against India at the support level. None of this is a proven fact, these questions are basically raised from the emotions of the supporters. But this time the situation was reversed. India raised the question of umpiring. The ICC has made some concessions on umpiring as part of a change of rules during the coronation period.

In Test cricket, matches are usually conducted with the umpire of a neutral country except the two participating countries. But this rule has changed in Corona. Now that there are some problems with the quarantine, the ICC has given the opportunity to conduct the match with the host umpire in Test cricket. And this time the question has been raised by the Indian fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah. He described the lack of a neutral umpire as "disappointing". There are, of course, specific reasons behind this. India did not get a decision from the umpires in the Boxing Day Test against Australia in Melbourne on Saturday.

The third umpire was Paul Wilson from Australia. According to Bumrah, if there was a neutral umpire in this place, India could have got the out. However, Bumrah did not say anything directly about it. The incident ended in the 55th over of the Australian innings. Cameron Green ran for a run by pushing the cover. Umesh Yadav threw at the end of the striker, Tim Payne was running at the end, Rishav Pant broke the stamp. Paul Wilson decided not to look at the replay. However, as seen on the field giant screen, the camera on one side seems to be unable to take the bat beyond the spot. He was seen on the camera on the other side, he has entered the spot for a while. Umpire Paul Wilson felt he did not have enough evidence to dismiss Payne. So he decided not to.

Bumrah spoke at the press conference at the end of the day's play, expressing frustration at not having a neutral umpire. "We can't control these things," he said. I understand that the situation now is that no one is in control. I do not want to pay attention to these issues. However, it is disappointing that neutral umpires are not allowed to travel the match. ' Bumrah did not say much as he did not get a neutral umpire during the coronation period. Earlier, West Indies captains Kieron Pollard and Jason Holder also expressed frustration over the lack of a neutral umpire. Meanwhile, Australian legend legspinner Shane Warne has made it clear that Payne was run out there. Warne said, ‘I was very surprised that Payne didn’t run out there! I never once thought that any part of Payne's bat was inside the stain. In my opinion, it should have been given out. '
