Cricket Australia will review JLT Sheffield Shield's playing conditions, which left the third powerless referee to override a missed no-ball in a decisive delivery on the opening day of this season's final.
Controversy erupted on the opening day of the 2018-1919 season choice when Trent Copeland missed the noticeable step of the bursting crease over the delivery claiming that the box office of Victorian Seb Gotch had been missed by the company. Referee Paul Wilson.
Copeland had caught Gotch by Jack Edwards in the third slip, moving sharply to his left to capture the jack that had the Victorian on his way for two.
Fox Cricket airs the Shield final on its subscription service – as well as the live broadcast on Kayo – under the terms of the broadcast rights agreement signed this summer and reruns released after Gotch's departure showed Copeland had gone well beyond the limits. .
"Did that motivate him, that extra inch and a half?" Victorian commentator Robert Quiney is mocking the air.
The third referee, Gerard Abood, saw the reruns but, under the prevailing playing conditions for this tournament, found the hands tied and unable to act.
A spokesman for Cricket Australia said: "There is no provision for match officials to control the decisions made on the field for the JLT Sheffield Shield in Cricket Australia's playing conditions.
"This incident will be the subject of a follow-up in the overall Cricket Australia match review process and the reactions will of course be taken into account."
The options available for the third referee are listed in Appendix D of the JLT Sheffield Shield 2018-2019 Game Conditions.
They include processes for deciding breaks, difficult and decisive decisions, fair grips and boundary problems (for example, if a defensive player has picked up a ball before touching the rope).
The third referee can also be called in action if it is possible to obstruct the field or decide which batter is absent if they are both at the same end in a round.
There are no third referees for Shield games during the regular season, which are broadcast live on cricket.com.au and are not equipped with side cameras on the field that can help to decide whether or not to play. 39, there is no ball and miss.

In a statement issued by the CA on Wednesday, he praised his exploits, including in India, New Zealand and the West Indies, in the ODI Men's Series, as well as in the national finals of the FIFA World Cup. day and shield JLT. in May 2018.
Known as the "Blocker," the former first-clbad bowler from South Australia and Western Australia played a test in Kolkata in 1998 under the Baggy Green 376 hat.
Copeland, who also claimed Will Pucovski's keychain at an opposing match match during the second session of NSW's opening day, was questioned about the incident while the players withdrew for tea.
In the absence of big screen used at Junction Oval, Copeland had no idea of its overtaking.
"No, I was not aware of it, but luckily, Blocker was asleep on this one," Copeland said on the show.
Gotch's ticket window fell into a pbadage where NSW claimed 3-21 in 11 badists, before Victoria responded with an 80-run partnership between Matt Short and Marcus Harris.
