‘Ultimate Decision With CA’

" ultimate decision is with CA isn't it?," Warner told reporters in Sydney. “I think y have obviously squashed it as fast as y could, given that India is coming out here this summer. But if umpires deemed something happened, I am sure re will be a follow up. I think umpires or match referee should be standing here answering questions.”
