You have to trust your partner's call there IMO. With time, hopefully these mistakes get ironed out because this was the 1st game and players are still unsure of each other since they haven't practiced much together.
Ya, I understand they are playing together for the first time in a team and they haven't had much of practice session as well.. Tight callings will be difficult due t lack of understanding and trust on each other...I have no issue with that...I know it will improve with time.

But my comment was related to the drama they staged at the end, they should have decided who stays and who goes, rather than 3rd umpire... Someone jut had to have the commonsense to get out of the crease ... Hope Sabbir watched that his partner already turned back....
