Cricket is a game of margins and marginal calls mean one has to select sides if the decision is correct or not. Generally, low diving catches divide the viewers and such an incident happened in the Knockout match of the Big Bash League(BBL) today. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Sydney Thunder's Usman Khawaja came down the track and tried to hit a lofted inside-out drive but got a thick outside edge towards the short third man, Fawad Ahmed, who had to dive forward to take the catch. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

However, it was a close call and the umpires sent it upstairs while signaling the soft signal as out. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

With the ball dipping, it looked like the fingers were underneath the ball but it also looked like the ball was touching the grass. The commentators weren't sure as well but Ricky pointing reckoned it was a clean catch. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
