However, the decision still remains contentious as it is debatable whether the ball was a wide or not. The regulations state that the leg-side wide ball rule is negated if a player tries a switch-hit. However, Alexander did not change the grip of his hand or his stance, which means he was not attempting a switch-hit, which people have argued supports the original decision. However, the provision applies to both reverse sweeps and switch-hits, which suggests that the correction decision was made. In fact, the first wide call should also have been reversed.
