David Miller Controversies
David Miller, who was 41 at the time, was ruled out LBW by umpire Aleem Dar off the bowling of Glenn Maxwell in the 33rd over of the South African innings. After much debate, South African captain Faf du Plessis requested DRS, but the bewildered umpire Dar didn’t react. Miller then crossed his right arm over his left, the person who should have decided on DRS (both considerably low to draw in conclusion). However, Umpire Dar followed Miller’s cross-arm motion and chose to go upstairs. The ball tracking indicated that Miller would have survived if the ball had continued to miss the stumps and the ruling had been reversed.
What precisely was the issue then? Actually, there was a sizable one. According to the DRS policy, the batsman who was dismissed should be the one to make the final DRS call by clearly signaling T, not anybody else, not even the non-striker, whether or not he is the captain. In this instance, it was clear that du Plessis, the non-striker, made the decision to use the DRS and even signaled for it. Miller didn’t appear confident, and the on-field umpire wasn’t persuaded by his cross-arm gesture to call for a DRS.
Not only that but there was also a disagreement about how quickly the South African duo informed the umpire of their choice. Although the time limit is once again not always completely adhered to, host broadcaster Fox Sports slapped a stopped clock on it because it was a close call and it came to 18 seconds. The highest-ever ODI partnership against Australia was formed by Miller and du Plessis as they combined for 139 runs off 108 balls. Australia let up the highest number of runs since 2001 when South Africa scored 172 runs in the final 15 overs.

As a student at Heritage High School in Littleton, he starred in high school productions as the Rooster in Annie and Noah in Two by Two. He was also a member of the Colorado Children’s Chorale but only took music seriously in high school after being asked to audition for Annie due to the lack of male cast members with the ability to sing.
