Twitter reacts as Kumar Dharmasena denies Jason Roy a century in semi-final against Australia

Jason Roy was in such good form and Kumar Dharmasena came up with a terrible call to give him out as the ball didn't even touch the gloves or bat. Roy went for the review but then the umpire told him that Jonny Bairstow had already used it. Twitterati were furious after Roy was unfairly given out.

Brief scores: Australia 223/10 in 49 overs (Steven Smith 85, Alex Carey 46; Chris Woakes 3-20, Adil Rashid 3-54) lost to England 226/2 in 32.1 overs (Jason Roy 85, Joe Root 49*; Mitchell Starc 1/70, Pat Cummins 1/34) by 8 wickets

Worst decision of this World Cup?

Got to feel for Jason Roy! 

Something that the umpire can do at the end of the match! 

Was going to be a special ton for Jason Roy! :(

Dharmasena looked puzzled after the appeal! Should've gone up if he wasn't sure! 

A robot umpire in the future?! 

Would love to see them in the IPL!

This is how the scoreboard should read! 

ICC should seriously look into this! 

The tweet is gold! 

Justified reaction!

Jofra Archer what a legend! xD
