Conspiracy
The channel played up the dismissal as a supposed conspiracy against Pakistan. "Steve Davis has always had issues with us and even when we didn't want him for a match no one listened to us," Ajmal said.
Ajmal said Umar's dismissal had a big bearing on the match. "When the snickometre didn't show anything then why was Umar given out on referral. Why was the field umpire's original decision not upheld," Ajmal questioned.
