And the ICC umpire of the year award goes to... Acid Rocks

Asad Rauf... :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

That was just so pathetic indeed. Not only was the noise HUGE...but there was a deflection too.

:giggle: India-Pakistan bhai bhai :P

This is pathetic. Why the eff did Kumble not opt for referrals ? Sure, this time the appeal was against the Aussies but when it goes against us we will be carting the umpires left, right and center.

MJ deserved that wicket. But, eh. We felt that we could've drew in Sydney. Perhaps, the Aussies will feel the same way after this match. Though in my mind, the error against Ganguly is far more improtant than this one.

The umpiring in this match has been atrocious. Yesterday Keortzen gave not out to about the plumbest LBW possible and today Asad Rauf forgot to take out his earplugs. Not to mention that reprieve for Ganguly, which has had a huge impact on this match.

[varun]

To be fair though, it does ruin the game such blunders. We should always have referrals

[Cricketics]

actually i think sehwag should have walked.. now i am kind of not able to enjoy sehwag's inning somehow since that happend.

[graphic23]

Well, fate has caught up, and he edges one anyone without scoring too many. Now I don't feel as bad. Now I can go back to how Symonds scored > 125 runs after that appeal.

Chalo gaya Sehwag ab.. Gawwwnnn. I have a feeling Sehwag wasn't confortable sticking around after that edge anyway..

Like any decent human being would. Symonds on the other hand...

Cut the crap. He deserved to get out for not walking after edging that blatantly. He would have been a *great* human being had he walked, no point in repenting something when you clearly had a choice. Our batsmen should learn to walk (obviously when the edges are clearer and a give away like Sehwag's). If they don't do it, let them suit their selves.

[Mr. Wicket]

Symonds did a better job than Sehwag in putting the ball behind him. Sehwag's normally very good at that though - if he makes an error one ball, he puts it behind him and gets on with his job and worries about what's ahead, not what just happened. I have no problem with batsmen not walking. The anger at that point shouldn't be directed to them, it should be directed to the umpires responsible for f'ing up.

Huh? I was simply agreeing with the guy above me. I too got the feeling Sehwag wasn't feeling too good after the blatant life he received and was feeling guilty(a reaction of a decent human being). I'm glad he got out soon.

I disagree. I often find a dropped edge is soon followed by another with him. I believe that happened in the first test no?

I think it's all very 'charming' :D
