Indian spinner, Ravichandran Ashwin defended third umpire Nitin Menon for declaring Steve Smith as not in the fifth and final Ashes Test. During the match, Smith was coming for a second run after pushing a Chris Woakes’ delivery towards the mid-wicket and it was during that time when a quick throw from substitute fielder George Ealham was picked up by Jonny Bairstow and the stumps were dislodged. Initially, it looked like Steve Smith was out but the umpire took multiple re-checks to finally rule not out as the bails were not fully dislodged by the England wicketkeeper. Following the decision, English fans booed it and Ashwin defended the umpire’s decision.
