Former Australian cricketer and skipper of Kings XI Punjab, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SE-Marsh-c2470’s dismissal in the 22nd match of Indian Premier League played against Kolkata Knight Rides
on Wednesday, April 18 convincing.
The skipper of Punjab held that there was some element of doubt in the catch taken by KKR wicket-keeper Manvinder Bisla.
Gilly said that Marsh did the right thing and walked off after taking the keepers word on the catch. Even though, he believes that the outcome would have been different, had the decision been referred to
TV umpire, as the ball seemed to dive on the wicket-keeper.
While talking to press, Gilchrist said, “I am not convinced it was out, but I think there's a huge element of doubt there. Shaun asked the wicketkeeper, which I must say is the way I like to play the game,
you ask the fielder and the wicketkeeper told him 'yes I caught it', so Shaun walked off.”

in the 14th over bowled by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Brett-Lee-c48419, brought an end to his innings.
Bollywood heartthrob and co-owner of Kings XI Punjab, Preity Zinta was fuming over the decision. The Bollywood http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-Di-Venuto-c1954 was seen exchanging a few words with the officials.
Gilchrist played down Zinta’s reaction and said that the situation did not get out of hand. The former Australian jumped into action and cooled things down before any damage could have been done.
Shedding some light on the incident, Gilchrist said, “I saw her on the sidelines and all I said was 'let me handle this' and she responded and sat down.”
Gilly said that Zinta is very passionate about cricket and her reaction is similar to that of any diehard supporter of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833.
He further said, “I have not heard any negative comment from either the match referee or the umpire. I can only assume that nothing has been transgressed there.”
Punjab will go up against Royal Challengers Bangalore in their next IPL fixture. The match will take place at Punjab’s home ground, Mohali, on Friday, April 20, 2012.
