Indian umpiring

[urbestfriend]

Since ages , Indian umpires have been worse. Likes of Anil choudhury, Amish saheba, Veendra sharma , Ravi everyone has been equally bad. Virendra sharma is one whose LBW decision is so random.. Is there any way no of bad decisions can downgrade these umpires...Nitin Menon seems somewhat better than others. What is the criteria to get into umpiring? Good umpiring is somewhat natural and doesn't come from training, so any way these folks are selected out of many candidates? Or  is it just the influence within BCCI which pushes them..

BCCI runs umpiring courses and then have to do umpiring in domestic cricket.

Some more information please. I mean, what is the criteria to umpire in domestics? Does BCCI gives a score to those who take the course or everyone who takes the course gets to umpire?

Every country have a share of bad umpires...

Just because you really really wish it, doesnt mean its true. That was a really close one

It looked bat first. Pathetic Third Umpiring…

If it had touched the pad first, we would've seen slight deviation which we didn't see...It is bat first, it hadn't touched the pad before deviated from the bat..I dont know how people wish Kohli to fail because they hate him, but this was a bad decision both from AC and BC..

Deviation happens in big nicks, not small ones, there are many edges where ball doesn't deviate at all. The ball deviated off the bat as it was a big nick, while it just brushed lightly off the pad (you can still see the seam changed direction after pad)

What you are saying is only possible if it had touched the pad and deviated 90 degree to hit bat and again 90 degree to hit pad again to hit the front of the pad which can't happen if you understand physics..

Self flagellation at its finest, Indian umpires are the best at it

This umpire Virender Sharma us a serial offender. He’ll pretty sure screw Up India in this match…

It had deviated 45 degree to hit the front pad..How is it possible to hit pad first 

[express bowling]

The 3rd umpire, Virendra Sharma, ruled it out before going to ball tracking.

 

And he sounded really low on confidence when he was checking the snickometer. 

 

One can argue whether it was bat first or not. But can't give it out without checking ball tracking. 

 

I am not passing any verdict on Indian umpires in general based on just this one incident.

 

But Virendra Sharma, as an individual, has been a poor umpire in general.

If we just focus on when the ball touches the pad first ... we will see that it happens after the ball has hit the bat.

 

It is a clear case of bat first in my opinion.

This angle is really damning

Unless there's a record of Virender getting it wrong more than most, it's unfair to call him poor based on a few calls here and there. FWIW, I think he followed the protocol in not overruling the on field decision wrt Kohli's decision.

 

ENG has a few much celebrated umpires (three of Illingworth, Kettleborogh and Gough) right now and the whole ENG media contingent seldom fails to blow their trumpet calling them the best at every available opportunity. But you should look up how laughably incompetent they were collectively against West Indies at Ageas Bowl only last year. It was Shakoor Rana stuff.

 

Not saying Virender doesn't get decision wrong ever so often. But holding a few wrong decision as evidence isn't fair when every umpire has them on their resume.

If you see him officiating in a test match and if review system is not there, you will see how bad Virender sharma is..Because of DRS, these substandard umpires get saved as people dont outrage against them as used to happen in previous Steve Bucknor era..
