Umpire Donovan Koch has put up one of the most bizarre moments from an official in recent memory after he reversed his own decision during the Marsh One-Day Cup on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Redbacks spinner Peter Hatzoglou thought he had bagged his first top-flight wicket when he went up for an appeal for caught behind off WA's Sam Whiteman.<\/p>\n
While it was an ambitious appeal from Hatzoglou with Whiteman looking nowhere near the ball, many were surprised when Koch's finger when straight up, dismissing the batsman in a bizarre scene.<\/p>\n
But as fast as Koch made his initial call, he just as swiftly reversed it after realising the error of his ways, allowing Whiteman to live another day.<\/p>\n

"He knows he's got it wrong and he's changed his decision," Stuart Clark said in commentary for Fox Cricket.<\/p>\n
Brett Lee added: "Well, we couldn't believe it. He's fired him and said, 'I've got it wrong'.<\/p>\n
"He's missed that by a mile."<\/p>\n
Despite the bungle it was a brave bit of work from Koch rectifying his error, and Stuart was all for it.<\/p>\n
"I give him complete respect for that because usually you just give them out and panic about it."<\/p>\n
