Unlucky Zimbabwe batsmen – Umpires Paul Reiffel and Michael Gough made a total of 10 errors in the second and final Test match between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. It was Zimbabwe who was on the receiving end as a total 10 decisions went against them, which nearly wrote the script of Zimbabwe’s loss.
The umpires were unable to spot whether a batsman has edged the ball or not. They were unable to adjudge LBW decisions, and to add to it, there was no DRS available, which further added to Zimbabwe’s pain. It can be said that both these umpires were responsible for Zimbabwe loss against Sri Lanka and umpires could share the blame as much as Zimbabwe players.
