He was quoted as saying on Sportinglife.com: "I entered into discussion with the umpires about the detail of the decision having viewed replays being shown on the big screen.
"I was simply trying to seek clarification from the umpires regarding how the decision had been made after being referred to the third umpire.
"However, I would be unhappy if anyone thought I was being disrespectful towards the umpires as this wasn't my intention."
