West Indies off-spinner Shane Shllingford, who took the prize wicket of Sachin Tendulkar courtesy a questionable umpiring decision on day two of the cricket Test against India at Kolkata's Eden Gardens on Thursday, defended his decision to appeal saying it was his job as a bowler.

Asked whether he was happy with the way Tendulkar was dismissed, Shillingford (4/130)u00a0said: "That's a funny question... In terms of, at the spur of the moment, it's every bowler's reaction to appeal one time. But when I got in and I had seen it and stuff... At the end of the day, the umpire made his decision. It's my job to appeal, so these things happen in the game."
