fineleg Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 How has it been? I noticed a few: 1. M.Clarke was out plumb LBW to Amit Mishra when his score was like in single digit or something. Plumb as you can get, and umpire did not give it out. 2. Ponting was plumb to I.Sharma, and not given - though later in same over he got him. Any other?
msb1991 Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 In my opinion, we should allow not outs to pretty much any LBW shout as the umpire has a right to say not out if he experiences doubt.

fineleg Posted October 18, 2008 Author Posted October 18, 2008 Flamy, whats the zaheer - hussey? i may have missed that...what happened?
flamy Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Flamy, whats the zaheer - hussey? i may have missed that...what happened? just remember vaguely smth I read on CI. not sure. LBW thing..
h4te Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 brah, hussey was out plumb to zaheer. I mean, it was hitting middle and leg. height was not even an issue. overall, it's 2-1 against us. OK so far.
SachDan Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Ishant Sharma to Watson..first ball of new spell..ball hit in line with the stumps,low on the pad..vociferous appeal fom IS and all the close in fielders..Rudi turns it down. 3-1 against us as of now.
fineleg Posted October 19, 2008 Author Posted October 19, 2008 Aus 200-7 Shane Watson LBW Ishant Sharma (ball was hitting lower half of middle stump - there cannot be an LBW more plumb than this) I.Sharma looks in disbelief as Koertzen does not give it out. Good job Kumble and BCCI in deciding you DONT WANT technology/referrals in this series! :clap:

IndianRenegade Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 just because he didn't know when to use the referral he decided not to use it! idiot kumble...
Ram Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 We've absolutely nothing to complain. If anything, the rub of the green has gone our way in key moments, till now in the series.
Willow_on_fire Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 just because he didn't know when to use the referral he decided not to use it! idiot kumble... Kumble should've definetely used the referral system against Aussies....:stupido3:
bharat297 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 whats the current score atm in regards to umpiring blunders?
Dhondy Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 What was that all about? Watson on 39, Ishant jags back one that hits him in line, would have knocked the middle out 6 inches up from the turf and Koertzen does a passable imitation of the South Indian yay. If that's not out, what on earth is? Didn't ask for the replay when Ganguly was out stumped, also on 39. Incompetence doesn't come in a bigger package than this. Cricket is being shagged to death in an orgy of umpiring incompetence. It doesn't matter if you bring in referrals...no referrals, it doesn't matter- the men in white will dick-bash you to stupefaction. No other game would take this lying down.
DomainK Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 And I dont believe in that "umpiring mistakes even out in the end" crap. Thats what we have invented to convince ourselves to accept the inefficiency. Human to err.....accepted. But one that makes many errors should be replaced with one that makes less.
bharat297 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 ^ Yeah thats true You dont see many umpires moving up to the elite panel. This is what needs to happen. Umpires need to face the same selection pressure as cricketers.

If that's not out, what on earth is? . Did you watch Ponting yesterday? He was an absolute goner against Sharma - declined by Koertzen. And, he then gave him out to a ball that was kissing the top of the stumps. Mind-boggling incompetence

God knows how Sangakkara would've felt... I say break the idiots head by hooking more balls at him..
Lord Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 yeah they have been reluctant to give batsman out even if they are.havent given anyone out wrongly though i think
