Umpiring and technology use in the WBBL is again in the spotlight after a crucial stumping wasn’t given out in Hobart’s 24-run win over the Sydney Thunder. Hurricanes opener Lizelle Lee top-scored with 91 from 54 balls on Monday night in Launceston to set up her team’s second victory from four matches this season. However, she was given a life in the sixth over on 12 when a stumping off Thunder spinner Heather Knight was not given out by the umpires.
I know umpires make mistakes but we are seeing too many wrong decisions being made on the live-stream games,” Australian great and Channel 7 commentator Lisa Sthalekar said. “Questions need to be asked: do we have the right standard of umpires officiating? Should whatever technology is available be used to assist?” South African star Marizanne Kapp agreed, as did current Melbourne Renegades player Sarah Coyte.
