“On the screen, you could see that he hit it. ultra-edge-edge, I don’t think anyone has complete confidence in. It didn’t really show much but, fortunately, there was enough other evidence to show that it was clearly out.”

Rohit bemoaned his team being on the rough end of the stick with technology, though Jaiswal had good fortune when his score was just 31 when Australia were denied by an lbw review on a Mitchell Starc delivery that showed the ball hitting the stumps but was deemed an umpire’s call.

Rubbing salt into India’s wounds, Akash Deep was given out moments after Jaiswal’s departure to a bat -pad catch that produced a spike and a cherry mark on the player’s blade.

“I don’t know what to make of that because the technology didn’t show anything,” Rohit said of Jaiswal’s wicket.

“With the naked eye, it seemed that he did touch something.

“I don’t know how the umpires want to use the technology, but in all fairness he did touch the ball but again it’s about the technology which we all know is not 100 per cent.

“Like I said, we don’t want to really look too much into that. More often than not, we are the ones falling on the wrong side of it … I feel we’ve been a little unfortunate.”

Brennan explained why his technology did not detect a touch from Jaiswal’s shot despite the vision strongly indicating contact with the bat or gloves.

“On those glance-type shots there is rarely any noise,” Brennan said. “Glance shots are not Snicko’s strength, whereas it is for HotSpot.”

HotSpot, which detects marks left from the ball making contact with bat or gloves, would have more likely helped decide Jaiswal’s dismissal but is not in use this series.

India great Sunil Gavaskar suggested there could have been an “optical illusion” in Jaiswal’s case, but Ricky Ponting was emphatic the opener was out.

“If the evidence of the technology is not to be taken, why have it at all?” Gavaskar said on Seven. “That is something that would definitely be the query as far as the Indians are concerned.

“Yes, it looked as if it might have gone off the glove but there can be an optical illusion. Often we see when the ball is brand new that a ball goes near the bat’s edge and then moves away.”
