Thread for collating umpiring goof-ups in Adelaide

[fineleg]

1. Sehwag given out on a No-ball. 2. Ganguly given out on a 50-50 decision 3. Dravid not given out on a close call for lbw Folks, add more as match progresses.

Ganguly was out. I just go by Hawk-eye.

[fineleg]

Ganguly was out. I just go by Hawk-eye.

He was well forward, so bounce was a 50-50, and many times umpires wont give it.

[Anakin]

About 80% of the times the umpire won't give it out

[yoda]

He was well forward' date=' so bounce was a 50-50, and [b']many times umpires wont give it.

what any of our elite umpires will or won't do in any given situation is anyone's guess.

actually, if you saw the hawk eye replay, the ball was hitting the top of the bail, so it was that marginal, and that close. hawk eye said that the ball was higher that the stump, by a fraction of an inch, and thus was hitting the bail. Since he was playing a shot, the benefit of doubt should have gone to the batsman, and i am certain that there was doubt in that... so he should have been given not out...

[fineleg]

yes SG out shud be chalked to umpiring goofa

[cricket_is_life]

benson n bucknor also joined the team or shall i say a pack of wild dogs?

[Sachinism]

yoda, it could be seen as out, but a decision like that usually goes in the batsman's favour, so ganguly could count himself slightly unlucky

[living]

SRT lucky against Hogg

[living]

And there was a plumb RD lbw, which was not given

[Anakin]

SRT lucky against Hogg

How? There was only one close call but the ball hit him outside the line of offstump, since he was moving his bat, it was not as if he didn't offer a shot.

OP sums up the day ....

What is CI on about here: "Soon after, he survived a half-shout when he tried to run a Hogg delivery down to fine leg and the ball might have gone off the face of the bat into Gilchrist's gloves. But so mild was the appeal from behind the stumps that Billy Bowden wasn't convinced. " Was that out? Is SRT lucky to be playing still like Symonds in the 164 match?

:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: There was a week's worth of daylight between the ball and bat. Gilly didn't appeal, but joined the cheater Ponting who was shouting from far away in the appeal, Hayden was still as a statue in the first slip, SRT was disappointed for not being able to put it away and CI writer was hallucinating about getting rid of the boss.

The replays didn't confirm anything and Gilly's appeal wasn't all too confident either. I wish they'd used snicko there. Anyway, I'd also add the Sehwag lbw not given when he was in his mid 50's. That was out. Cricinfo mentioned it in their reports today as well.

I don't think that LBW decisions (except shocking ones) should be counted as 'goof ups'.

The field drops back for Tendulkar. 72.2 Hogg to Tendulkar, no run, Hogg bowled a very slow ball outside leg stump that bounced more sharply than Tendulkar expected, he tried to play a paddle sweep but missed, Hogg appealed confidently but no one else joined him

Actually Ricky joined him from mid off or similar position, Gilly was quiet till he saw Ricky appealing, and as I said, Hayden was mum and still like a statue. BTW, the replay was quite conclusive, his bat was nowhere near the ball when it passed SRT.
