Is it OK for the umpire to not call a wide to benefit a batsman chasing a milestone?

Rubbish decision 

In the highlights the wide looked intentional. And not very sporting of the BD player to do that.

 

Right call by the umpire.

Guy calculated his career is more important than one wide

And he did fabulously

it was a wide..fair enough...could it change anything...no..

if it didnt affect any outcome..just say poor umpiring..and let icc deal with it..its their job..

it doesnt require too much of media space..

Umpire was wise. He was just not ready to wear a garland of chappals or get strong laxative in his butter chicken!

Good umpiring.

Kohli is best ever Indian ODI batsman

 

let's not blame the umpire for Kohli doing what kohli does best

It was a wide. Also the bowler was sheet too so I don't think he bowled the wide delebrately. Bigger question is will Kohli be the reason we win this WC. What a time to get his form back (be it 70-80% from his prime form)

A wide is a wide. Doesn't matter if bowled intentionally.

Mistakes happen. Hebhit the ball to a six it does not matter
