Nottingham: Australian umpire Simon Taufel, who has been in the eye of a storm for giving Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly out on the third day of the second Test, has acknowledged that he was “very upset” to have handed a poor decision to Tendulkar. However, Taufel has backed his decision to give out Ganguly saying that he would give that out every time. Taufel’s comments were conveyed to the viewers of Sky Sports by its commentators David Lloyd and David Gower who discussed the controversial decisions on the fourth morning. The big screen
“I always look at the big screen after giving a decision. And the minute I saw the replay of Sachin’s dismissal, I knew I got it wrong,” Taufel is reported to have told the Sky Sports commentators. “However, I would have given Ganguly out every time,” added Taufel.
