It’s pretty brutal umpiring. Interestingly, those who complained about umpiring mistakes in the Test against New Zealand did not credit our empires and technology for avoiding such mistakes. https://t.co/xaWmeKbIBS— Shashi Tharoor (@shashi tharoor) December 9, 2021
As soon as the tweet went viral, netizens flooded the micro-blogging platform with some hilarious reactions.

Ben Stokes, back on the field after a long break, overstepped four times in his opening over on the second day of the first Ashes Test in Brisbane. However, the TV umpire did not notice it until the all-rounder managed to beat Australia’s opener David Warner for 17 runs.
It was in the 12th over that Stokes bowled an amazing inswinger while Warner came to his rescue late. The ball went off the pads and started breaking the woodwork. As the British began to celebrate the moment, the on-field umpires asked the Australian opener to wait a while until they could check whether the delivery was accurate. Replays showed that Stokes had been overstepped and Warner had died.
After the incident, it was found that Stokes overstepped in the last three balls as well but was not picked by the third umpire. Australia’s Channel Seven shared a video on Twitter and wrote, “First four balls to David Warner from Ben Stokes were no balls.”
