Ricky Ponting furious over poor umpiring
Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting got furious over the bad umpire in the first Test match. During a conversation with a channel, he said that the person who has been given the responsibility of checking the no ball, if he does not do so then it is bad umpiring. Had the umpire paid attention to Ben Stokes first, he might not have bowled such a ball and Warner would have got the wicket. Ponting said that he wanted to know why the umpires did not consider it necessary to check the no ball.
