5th Test: I Thought It Was A Clear Catch, Says Ponting On Kohli Being Given Not Out
Sydney Cricket Ground: Amidst plenty of discussion on whether Virat Kohli was not out or not on day one of fifth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, former Australia captain said he was not convinced by the not-out decision, adding that in his view, Steve Smith took a clear catch.
In the first session, shortly after Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed by Scott Boland, the seamer almost got his second wicket on the trot when he found Kohli's outside edge, and Smith dived across to his right at second slip to take the catch.
But it seemed like Smith had got his fingers underneath the ball and flicked the grass on the ground while scooping the ball to Marnus Labuschagne at gully, something which TV umpire Joel Wilson spotted while ruling Kohli not out after seeing various camera angles.
