NOTTINGHAM, July 31: Australia umpire Simon Taufel said that he was very upset at having wrongly given Sachin Tendulkar out leg-before on the third day of the second Test at Trent Bridge.

“I always look at the big screen after giving a decision. And the minute I saw the replay of Tendulkar’s dismissal, I knew I got it wrong,” Taufel said.

Taufel was sorry for mistakenly denying fans the chance to watch their favourites at the crease, saying: “The big disappointment is that people come to watch the top players and I gave him (Tendulkar) out wrongly. That upset me.”

But Taufel, who has won the ICC Best Umpire of the Year award for three successive years, defended his decision to give Sourav Ganguly out caught behind on the leg side.

“However, I would have given Ganguly out every time,” he said.—Agencies
