Rahul Dravid continues to be at the receiving end of controversial decisions on the current England tour as he was today ruled out caught behind despite Hot Spot not detecting en edge off his bat.
It's now third time in this tour that Dravid has fallen to a debatable decision as twice in the preceding Test series he was given out in controversial fashion.
However, snicko-meter, which is not part of the UDRS, later suggested that there was a contact between the ball and the bat.
Today's decision yet again brought technological shortcomings to the fore under the UDRS system.
England paceman Stuart Broad appealed for a catch behind the wicket off his own bowling in the fourth ball of the 18th over but umpire Billy Doctrove ruled not out.
Broad straight away opted for the review. Third umpire Marais Erasmus from South Africa took help of Hot Spot but even after several replays the edge could not be established, though a sound was definitely there.
The replays were shown on the giant screen in the ground and fans along with the players expected the not out decision by Doctrove to stand.
However, much to the astonishment of the fans and the batsman, Erasmus ruled Dravid out.
In the third Test, Dravid was ruled caught behind off James Anderson in India's second innings when actually his bat had hit the shoelace and he hadn't edged the ball.
Then in the fourth Test, he was given out caught behind in India's second innings. Dravid was ruled not out by the umpire but given out for 13 after referral by England though the snickometer apparently showed that there was no contact of the ball with bat before it landed into home side wicketkeeper Matt Prior's gloves.
