STFU. There is no excuse for bad umpiring. Even with DRS, what happens after the reviews are over ?

[Number]

It takes a blind to not give that. Shocking.

[King Tendulkar]

Some of the calls dar has not given would have hit half way up middle. Ridiculous cheating

STFU. There is no excuse for bad umpiring. Even with DRS' date=' what happens after the reviews are over ?[/quote'] But I feel, umpires give those 50/50 decisions more often when Hawkeye is involved. Which explains so many lbw decisions in Pak v Eng and SL v Eng series. Pak got undone when they had no DRS for SL v Pak series. And number of lbws were also low.

Well, that's human nature. Which umpire has been good on all days? You can't change that. Even best umpires will have off days.

Is that a good thing ? Umpires giving lbws based on technology which itself is deeply flawed. Even the maker admitted that it should be used only for ruling out howlers and not for accurate decisions.

[India-KXIP fan]

Cook was just way to plumb to not be given, any other umpire would have given it :wall Would have been such a big wicket bringing in the chit players like that barrystow, patel etc.

I don't know if it's good or bad thing. But I am pretty sure, we would have bowled England out under 300 runs in 2nd innings of 1st Test. And in the current Test, Cook and Pietersen would have been out by now. With 50/50 calls, umpires always favour batsmen when no DRS involved. But having said that I agree with you. I rather not have predictive analysis making the decisions. But we should have DRS for edges. So DRS without Hawkeye:two_thumbs_up:.

Well' date=' that's human nature. Which umpire has been good on all days? You can't change that. Even best umpires will have off days.[/quote'] This is not an off day. Any sensible person can see that. He gave Zaheer out caught when the ball was miles away from the bat. He didnt give a couple of plumb lbws in this innings too. There were as many as 7 or 8 bad decisions in the first test too. Just like players are criticized, umpires should be too because they are also professionals. Even with DRS, a lot rests on umpiring decisions after the reviews are over.

[saneindian]

No point blaming the umpire At least he has been consistent in not giving plumb lbws for either side. If he had given Ashwin LBW yesterday we would have been 230 all out.

[namasteji1]

He seems to have lost it. Good that he won't be here for last 2 tests. Rod tucker & Dharmasena will be there who give lots of lbw's.

[jairamesh]

Aleem Dar has been very poor.

Yes, but do we say that players are deliberately doing that?

There are lots of people in England and Australia and other countries who are not convinced with DRS and its usage.
