It was a shocking call in the last quarter of a tight PF.Umps don't have the luxury of such scrutiny live. TBH I thought it was a reasonable call. Ump saw a player dive at the ball and punch it two handed directly over the line. Deliberate. I don't have any problem with the call as it happens live.
It may have been deliberate but it may not cos his teammate was right there and he was contesting against multiple opposition players. If his teammate had kept momentum then he would have been within arms reach of the ball. To much doubt IMO to make that call in that moment of the game. The Tiger player pushed him square in the back as he fell to. THo neither free was really there IMO.
Either way that call did decide the game and it shouldn't have.
