Luke Ronchi: Bad light claims negated by umpires

Kolkata: New Zealand middle-order batsman Luke Ronchi said on Saturday that stand-in captain Ross Taylor’s several claims of bad light went in vain as the umpires take the final call.

“It was exactly the same like it was yesterday.

“Umpires take a call on when seamers can bowl and when the spinners can bowl or whatever during bad light. We had the option to bowl spin but we chose not to,” Ronchi said.

“India wanted to bowl couple of overs of spin today I guess, but umpires must have intervened and said it is too dark to play,” said Ronchi, who fell for 35 to Ravindra Jadeja just before rain halted play.
