In non DRS match regulations allow for umpires to ask if ball was hit even if they are only checking for a low catch. But he's out anyway!

Actually, the decision is correct under the playing conditions.

APPENDIX 4 - SECTION 3.1
c) The third umpire has to determine whether the batsman has been caught. However, when reviewing the television replay(s), if it is clear to the third umpire that the batsman did not hit the ball, he shall indicate that the batsman is not out

That's an absolutely ridiculous rule. So you're only allowed to check the edge if a fielder takes a catch near the ground?

If I was an umpire I'd be "checking to see if the fielder caught it" whenever I wasn't 100% on an edge, even if he took in the chest.

I'd have settled for 3 wickets in the session btw, any more willl be a bonus. Just want to see SRT make a few now.

With Sehwag there India would likely have been ahead by tea.

I see where your coming from, but I think in the absence of DRS this rule makes sense purely from a common sense standpoint.

If you can see in the replay that the batsman is clearly not out, then reverse the decision.

yeah exactly so by catch definition, umpires can check every catch out there in non DRS matches

But what does where the fielder took the ball have to do with the edge though?

If that had carried further and Trott took a more obvious catch then Gambhir would have been out. That would be a travesty

I'm happy with the end result but the process is ridiculous. If you can trust it there why you can't you trust it everywhere else?
