Greg Davidson changed decision ‘halfway through’‘He’s only human,’ says Strikers opener Phil SaltPlayers and officials have laughed off one of the most bizarre umpiring incidents in Big Bash League history. Umpire Greg Davidson caused a furore at Marvel Stadium on Sunday night when he changed his mind midway through what looked like he was signalling a wicket from an lbw decision.
