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?

Excellent innings played by Jason Roy.

Something that the umpire can do at the end of the match!
I can understand Jason Roy's reaction - I think anybody given out when they didn't touch it would feel rightly aggrieved and I hope he receives an apology from the umpires after the match! #bbccricket

Was going to be a special ton for Jason Roy! :(
Oh dear.. jeez.. that's a blunder from Kumar Dharmasena! Jason Roy was going so fluently towards a match winning ton in a World Cup Semi-final.

Livid and rightly so! @JasonRoy20 @dharmasena_k #cwc19 @ICC #ENGvAUS
Dharmasena looked puzzled after the appeal! Should've gone up if he wasn't sure!
Umpires are also humans and that's why technology was invented. Kumar dharmasena should have reviewed that to third umpire, it's semi final game. Very unfair for jason roy.

A robot umpire in the future?!
The decision against Jason Roy just shows how bad umpiring has been in this world cup. With such advance in technology, on field umpiring is irrelevant. @ICC should start think about replacing umpires with Robots(software).

Change is inevitable ! #ENGvAUS
Would love to see them in the IPL!
Jason Roy, Alex Carey, Van der Dussen, will bag heavy deals in 2020 IPL#CWC19

The tweet is gold!
I think we need to have a list of things that could fit between Jason Roy's bat and the ball. I'll start:

1. A large pack of sandpaper.#CWC19 @JasonRoy20 #ENGvAUS
Justified reaction!
The criticism of Jason Roy's reaction is understandable but I think even the pope would have had a similar reaction. Bizarre decision. #bbccricket #engvaus
