This certainly deserved more than one look, just saying. Boundary rope looks like it clearly moves. 🤷

- Replying to @BdJcricketThis was all while the ball was in his hand, if it’s grass then it’s fair but for me that looks like the bottom of the boundary, regardless a second look was needed.
00:00 - Replying to @BenCurtis22the third umpire was very quick to pull the trigger. This deserved more than two looks especially in a World Cup final. So please don’t come after me saying I’m a crybaby, all I’m doing is raising a question, like I’ve said, we can only blame ourselves for the lost.
- Replying to @BenCurtis22I seem to have upset quite a few people that may or may not support India. With regards to the result, the Proteas only have themselves to blame we bottled a brilliant postition. I’m questioning this, not saying it is six and not saying it would have changed the result, but...
- Replying to @neelroy2002Why would I lie mate? Here’s the original video if you insist.
00:00 - Replying to @BenCurtis22For the people bringing up this photo please use your brains a bit, the foot in question is his LEFT foot not his right as seen in this photo
- Replying to @BenCurtis22Indian newspapers and other news outlets claiming that I have said we were ‘robbed’ are false. Not once have I said that. @DeccanHerald @Sports_NDTV use accurate reporting and don’t put words in my mouth.
- Replying to @BenCurtis22All I’m asking is that perhaps you consider the possibility that his foot grazed the boundary, not to mention the fact that the boundary was moved back from its original point.
- Replying to @BenCurtis22Lastly, anyone who believes I have photoshopped or edited this video is jumping to conclusions. Believe what you want to but I would never spread false information like that on a platform such as this for a so called ‘publicity stunt’.
- Replying to @RudyF1fantasyAmen brother, like I’ve repeatedly said, I’m not saying it’s six, I’m just raising the question and highlighting how quickly the third umpire came to his decision.
- Replying to @henrymoeranBBCI’m broken mate, well and truly broken
- Replying to @rugbyworldcupRaynal is a disgrace, he doesn’t know how to communicate properly with players and is so inconsistent
- Replying to @BdJcricketFurthermore, look at where the rope originally was, it had been pushed back 🙈
- Replying to @rinibashThe left foot is in question, not the right foot, don’t twist things
